This paper investigates the use of the Bayesian inference for devising an unsupervised sketch rendering procedure. As likelihood model of this inference, we exploit the recent sta...
The proliferation of video content on the web makes similarity detection an indispensable tool in web data management, searching, and navigation. We have previously proposed a com...
Group nearest neighbor (GNN) queries are a relatively new type of operations in spatial database applications. Different from a traditional kNN query which specifies a single quer...
In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically mine event evolution graphs from newswires on the Web. Event evolution graph is a directed graph in which the vertices and e...
In this note we consider a simple reformulation of the traditional power iteration algorithm for computing the stationary distribution of a Markov chain. Rather than communicate t...
