The classical probabilistic models attempt to capture the Ad hoc information retrieval problem within a rigorous probabilistic framework. It has long been recognized that the prim...
Malicious users can exploit the correlation among data to infer sensitive information from a series of seemingly innocuous data accesses. Thus, we develop an inference violation d...
Tracking regions in an image sequence is a challenging and di cult problem in image processing and computer vision, and at the same time, one that has many important applications:...
Scientists depend on literature search to find prior work that is relevant to their research ideas. We introduce a retrieval model for literature search that incorporates a wide ...
Standard approaches to evaluating and comparing information retrieval systems compute simple averages of performance statistics across individual topics to measure the overall sys...
