Coarse-to-fine classification is an efficient way of organizing object recognition in order to accommodate a large number of possible hypotheses and to systematically exploit shar...
Broad web search engines as well as many more specialized search tools rely on web crawlers to acquire large collections of pages for indexing and analysis. Such a web crawler may...
Transfer function design is an integrated component in volume visualization and data exploration. The common trial-and-error approach for transfer function searching is a very dif...
Modeling term dependence has been shown to have a significant positive impact on retrieval. Current models, however, use sequential term dependencies, leading to an increased que...
We develop an improved cost function to be used in simulated annealing followed by hill-climbing to find Boolean functions satisfying multiple desirable criteria such as high nonli...
