The purpose of the Switching Detection Challenge in the 2013 WSCD workshop was to predict users' search engine swithcing actions given records about search sessions and logs.Our solution adopted the powerful prediction model Adpredictor and…
Click-through data has proven to be a valuable resource for improving search-ranking quality. Search engines can easily collect click data, but biases introduced in the data can make it difficult to use the data effectively. In order to…
A novel linking mechanism has been described previously [4] that can be used to autonomously link sources that provide related answers to queries executed over an information network. The test query platform has now been re-written…
While numerous studies have been conducted in the literature exploring different types of machine learning approaches for search ranking, most of them are focused on specific pre-defined problems but only a few of them have studied the…
Data extracted from social media platforms, such as Twitter, are both large in scale and complex in nature, since they contain both unstructured text, as well as structured data, such as time stamps and interactions between users. A key…
This paper discusses the design of the system used for providing a solution for the problem given at SemEval-2020 Task 9 where sentiment analysis of code-mixed language Hindi and English needed to be performed. This system uses Weka as a…
Twitter sentiment analysis, which often focuses on predicting the polarity of tweets, has attracted increasing attention over the last years, in particular with the rise of deep learning (DL). In this paper, we propose a new task:…
