The approach of using passage-level evidence for document retrieval has shown mixed results when it is applied to a variety of test beds with different characteristics. One main r...
In this paper, we present a new technique for extracting regions of interest (ROI) applying a local watershed transformation. The proposed strategy for computing catchment basins ...
Numerous simplification methods have been proposed for speeding up engineering analysis/ simulation. A recently proposed medial axis reduction is one such method, that is particul...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
This paper provides an objective evaluation of the performance impacts of binary XML encodings, using a fast stream-based XQuery processor as our representative application. Inste...
