We demonstrate a phonotactic-semantic paradigm for spoken document categorization. In this framework, we define a set of acoustic words instead of lexical words to represent acous...
Electronic mail poses a number of unusual challenges for the design of information retrieval systems and test collections, including informal expression, conversational structure,...
An important consideration in similarity-based retrieval of moving object trajectories is the definition of a distance function. The existing distance functions are usually sensi...
This paper describes a method for creating a well-shaped, layered tetrahedral mesh of a thin-walled solid by adapting the surface triangle sizes to the estimated wall thickness. T...
