ABSTRACT
Conventional vector-based Information Retrieval (IR) models: Vector Space Model (VSM) and Generalized Vector Space Model (GVSM) represents documents and queries as vectors in a multidimensional space. This high dimensional data places great demands on computing resources. To overcome these problems, Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), a variant of VSM, projects the documents into a lower dimensional space. It is stated in IR literature that LSI model is 30% more effective than classical VSM models. However, statistical significance tests are required to evaluate the reliability of such comparisons. Focus of this paper is to address this issue. We discuss the tradeoffs of VSM, GVSM, LSI and evaluate the difference in performance on four testing document collections. Then we analyze the statistical significance of these performance differences.

This research work seeks to identify a case from the general Bilinear Moving Average Vector (BMAV) models. This is a case in which the parameters of the matrices of the non-linear part are restricted to the lower diagonal coefficients. The models, 'Lower Diagonal Bilinear Moving Average (LDBMAV)...

For a vector integer quadratic programming problem, a regularizing operator is proposed that acts on a vector criterion and transforms a possibly unstable initial problem into a series of perturbed stable problems with the same Pareto set. The technique of Îµ-regularization is developed that...

We introduce an alternative approach to the third order helicity of a volume preserving vector field B, which leads us to a lower bound for the L2-energy of B. The proposed approach exploits correspondence between the Milnor $${\bar{\mu}_{123}}$$ -invariant for 3-component links and the homotopy...
