UIUC participated in the HARD track in TREC 2004 and focused on the evaluation of a new method for identifying variable-length passages using HMMs. Most existing approaches to pas...
Spatial pyramid matching (SPM) is a simple yet effective approach to compute similarity between images. Similarity kernels at different regions and scales are usually fused by som...
We experimentally evaluate randomization-based approaches to creating an ensemble of decision-tree classifiers. Unlike methods related to boosting, all of the eight approaches co...
