Let M be a complete metric ANR-space such that for any metric compactum K the function space C(K,M) contains a dense set of Bing (resp., Krasinkiewicz) maps. It is shown that M has the following property: If f : X → Y is a perfect surjection between metric spaces, then C(X,M) with the source limitation topology contains a dense Gδ-subset of maps g such that all restrictions g|f(y), y ∈ Y , are ...

Search logs of commercial search engines like Bing or Google reflect the topics of interest in humans at any given point of time. While many of these topics are predictable information needs, some are unusual and point to a curious human mind. In this paper, we propose a novel solution for mining unusual search behaviors triggered by some recent physical events using Bing search logs. Our algor...

In this paper, we introduce a web-scale general visual search system deployed in Microsoft Bing. The system accommodates tens of billions of images in the index, with thousands of features for each image, and can respond in less than 200 ms. In order to overcome the challenges in relevance, latency, and scalability in such large scale of data, we employ a cascaded learning-to-rank framework bas...

In 1964, R. D. Anderson announced [ l ] that the product of a countably infinite collection of dendra is a Hilbert cube (a dendron being a nondegenerate, uniquely arcwise connected, Peano continuum). He and R. H. Bing conjectured in [4] that a countably infinite product of compact contractible complexes is a Hilbert cube. The purpose of this note is to announce the following theorems which affi...
