Abstract

This paper gives a simple introduction to the concepts of Function Rank and the Rank Operator as they are defined in SHARP APL, and presents examples of their use. It shows the benefits, both in language design and in practice, of these concepts. Comparisons are made with other APL implementations, which do not use these concepts.

Effective rank aggregation for metasearching

Nowadays, mashup services and especially metasearch engines play an increasingly important role on the Web. Most of users use them directly or indirectly to access and aggregate information from more than one data sources. Similarly to the rest of the ...
Learning to re-rank: query-dependent image re-ranking using click data
WWW '11: Proceedings of the 20th international conference on World wide web

Our objective is to improve the performance of keyword based image search engines by re-ranking their original results. To this end, we address three limitations of existing search engines in this paper. First, there is no straight-forward, fully ...
