We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
In recent years there has been a lot of interest in designing principled classification algorithms over multiple cues, based on the intuitive notion that using more features shou...
We propose a scheme to introduce directionality in the Random Walker algorithm for image segmentation. In particular, we extend the optimization framework of this algorithm to com...
Personal gazetteers record individuals' most important places, such as home, work, grocery store, etc. Using personal gazetteers in location-aware applications offers additio...
