An evaluation of resource description quality measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An open problem for Distributed Information Retrieval is how to represent large document repositories (known as resources) efficiently. To facilitate resource selection, estimated descriptions of each resource are required, especially when faced with non-

Step selection techniques uncover the environmental predictors of space use patterns in flocks of Amazonian birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2014
Understanding the behavioral decisions behind animal movement and space use patterns is a key challenge for behavioral ecology. Tools to quantify these patterns from movement and animal–habitat interactions are vital for transforming ecology into a ...

Experiments with document archive size detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The size of a document archive is a very important parameter for resource selection in distributed information retrieval systems. In this paper, we present a method for automatically detecting the size (ie the number of documents) of a document archive ...
