Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
We study the combinatorial optimization task of choosing the smoothest map from a given family of maps, which is motivated from motor control unit calibration. The problem is of a ...
A text retrieval method called the thematic geographical search method has been developed and applied to a Japanese encyclopedia called the World Encyclopædia. In this method, th...
Abstract. We present an approach to increasing the effectiveness of rankedoutput retrieval systems that relies on graphical display and user manipulation of “views” of retrieva...
We address the problem of designing data structures that allow efficient search for approximate nearest neighbors. More specifically, given a database consisting of a set of vecto...
