In the previous lecture we discussed pivoted document length normalization [Singhal et al. 96], a simple technique that applies a correction for the observation that document relevance correlates with document length. Through careful empirical verification of previous assumptions, they showed that the seemingly simple normalization term could have a big impact on results. However, in our discus...

The adrenal glucocorticoids regulate carbohydrate formation and protein synthesis (l-6), but the mechanism by which they influence either of these processes remains to be elucidated. The administration of glucocorticoids to rats is followed by increased formation of several liver enzymes that participate in amino acid degradation or gluconeogenesis; e.g. tyrosineol-ketoglutarate transaminase (7...

A numerical study is performed to simulate the cavitating flow, evaluating applicability of different flow fluctuation pressure (FFP) models such as Singhai FFT model, modified Singhal shear strain and present strain-vorticity model. The axisymmetric blunt-body with availability experimental data selected for simulation purpose. According results, first three FFP produce nearly similar coeffici...

Deadlock detection in distributed asynchronous systems such as distributed database systems, computer networks, massively parallel systems etc. is peculiarly subtle and complex. This is because asynchronous systems are characterized by the lack of global memory and a common physical clock, as well as by the absence of known bounds on relative processor speeds and transmission delays. These diff...

For continuous-time Markov chains, the model-checking problem with respect to continuous-time stochastic logic (CSL) has been introduced and shown to be decidable by Aziz, Sanwal, Singhal and Brayton in 1996. The presented decision procedure, however, has exponential complexity. In this paper, we propose an effective approximation algorithm for full CSL. The key to our method is the notion of s...

Researches on document retrieval, text categorization and routing have shown the effects of learning by sampling relevant documents or non-relevant document from training set. Allan et al. (1995) considered only the top K non-relevant documents, which is the same number of all known relevant documents in the training set to learn a routing query. This is motivated by the need to have a balance ...
