In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
In some retrieval situations, a system must search across multiple collections. This task, referred to as federated search, occurs for example when searching a distributed index o...
Rule induction from examples is a machine learning technique that finds rules of the form condition → class, where condition and class are logic expressions of the form variable...
We researched to try to find a way to reduce the cost of nearest neighbor searches in metric spaces. Many similarity search indexes recursively divide a region into subregions by u...
Traditional image retrieval methods require a "query image" to initiate a search for members of an image category. However, when the image database is unstructured, and ...
