Noisy Search with Comparative Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present theoretical results in terms of lower and upper bounds on the query complexity of noisy search with comparative feedback. In this search model, the noise in the feedback depends on the distance between query points and the search target. Consequently, the error probability in the feedback is not fixed but varies for the queries posed by the search algorithm. Our results show that a target out of n items can be found in O(log n) queries. We also show the surprising result that for k possible answers per query, the speedup is not log k (as for k-ary search) but only log log k in some cases.

Statistical Machine Translation Models for Personalized Search
Web search personalization has been well studied in the recent few years. Relevance feedback has been used in various ways to improve relevance of search results. In this paper, we propose a novel usage of relevance feedback to effectively model the process of query formulation and better characterize how a user relates his query to the document that he intends to retrieve using a noisy channel...
متن کاملComparative Study of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Applied for Noisy Non-Linear Optimization Problems
Optimization of noisy non-linear problems plays a key role in engineering and design problems. These optimization problems can't be solved effectively by using conventional optimization methods. However, metaheuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) seem very efficient to approach in these problems and became very popular. The efficiency of these ...
متن کاملThe Comparative Effect of Direct and Indirect Corrective Feedback in Process-Based Vs. Product-Based Writing Instruction on EFL Learners` Writing Performance
This study attempted to systematically inspect the impact of direct and indirect corrective feedbacks on the writing ability of EFL learners when using product/process based instructions. To do so, 110 female EFL learners, between the ages of 15 and 18, were randomly assigned into four experimental groups to receive four different kinds of treatments, namely product-based instruction with direc...
متن کاملRobust Ranking Models using Noisy Feedback
Direct feedback of users of search engines by click information is naturally noisy. Ranking models that integrate such feedback in their training process must cope with this noise. In worst case such noise can lead to large variance among the results for different queries in the resulting rankings. We propose to integrate model averaging like bagging and random forest methods to reduce the vari...
متن کاملHypothesis Generation and Veri cation using Complex FeedbackStrategies for Object
We develop a paradigm for feedback strategies that combine low-level features to produce a focus of attention mechanism, and a high-level object model to direct search for missing information. The aim of this complex feedback strategy is to nd instances of a generic class of objects by improving on established single-pass hypothesis generation and veriication approaches. We argue that a complex...
