Modern web search engines are expected to return top-k results efficiently given a query. Although many dynamic index pruning strategies have been proposed for efficient top-k com...
We present a novel matching and similarity evaluation method for planar geometric shapes represented by sets of polygonal curves. Given two shapes, the matching algorithm randomly...
In this paper, we develop a system to classify the outputs of image segmentation algorithms as perceptually relevant or perceptually irrelevant with respect to human perception. T...
The tutorial first addresses requirements and semantic problems to integrate digital information into large scale, meaningful networks of knowledge that support not only access to...
One of the outcomes of DARPA’s HPCS program has been the creation of three new high productivity languages: Chapel, Fortress, and X10. While these languages have introduced impro...
