Nowadays, the size of the Internet is experiencing rapid growth. As of December 2014, the number of global Internet websites has more than 1 billion and all kinds of information resources are integrated together on the Internet, however,the…
Approximate results based on samples often provide the only way in which advanced analytical applications on very massive data sets can satisfy their time and resource constraints. Unfortunately, methods and tools for the computation of…
A key functionality of emerging connected autonomous systems such as smart cities, smart transportation systems, and the industrial Internet-of-Things, is the ability to process and learn from data collected at different physical locations.…
This report investigates three fundamental search algorithms: Linear Search, Binary Search, and Two Pointer Search. Linear Search checks each element sequentially, Binary Search divides the search space in half, and Two Pointer Search uses…
Hadoop MapReduce is now a popular choice for performing large-scale data analytics. This technical report describes a detailed set of mathematical performance models for describing the execution of a MapReduce job on Hadoop. The models…
Modeling visual search not only offers an opportunity to predict the usability of an interface before actually testing it on real users, but also advances scientific understanding about human behavior. In this work, we first conduct a set…
Search results personalization has become an effective way to improve the quality of search engines. Previous studies extracted information such as past clicks, user topical interests, query click entropy and so on to tailor the original…
We run an independent comparison of all hyperparameter optimization (hyperopt) engines available in the Ray Tune library. We introduce two ways to normalize and aggregate statistics across data sets and models, one rank-based, and another…
The results rendered by the search engines are mostly a linear snippet list. With the prolific increase in the dynamism of web pages there is a need for enhanced result lists from search engines in order to cope-up with the expectations of…
This chapter presents a theoretical framework for evaluating next generation search engines. We focus on search engines whose results presentation is enriched with additional information and does not merely present the usual list of 10 blue…
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has transformed the landscape of agentic information seeking capabilities through the integration of tools such as search engines and web browsers. However, current mainstream approaches…
Modern search engine result pages often provide immediate value to users and organize information in such a way that it is easy to navigate. The core ranking function contributes to this and so do result snippets, smart organization of…
