Range searches in metric spaces can be very di cult if the space is \high dimensional", i.e. when the histogram of distances has a large mean and a small variance. The so-cal...
One of the principal advantages of parallelizing a rule-based system, or more generally, any A.I. system, is the ability to pursue alternate search paths concurrently. Conventiona...
This paper improves recent methods for large scale image search. State-of-the-art methods build on the bag-of-features image representation. We, first, analyze bag-of-features in t...
Motion estimation represents the most computationally intensive task for all efficient motion compensated compression standards. This fact, despite the several eflorts aiming at r...
Recent web search techniques augment traditional text matching with a global notion of "importance" based on the linkage structure of the web, such as in Google's P...
