Paraphrases have proved to be useful in many applications, including Machine Translation, Question Answering, Summarization, and Information Retrieval. Paraphrase acquisition meth...
Background: Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) provide an excellent means for structure identification and feature extraction on stochastic sequential data. An HMM-with-Duration (HMMwD) ...
This paper addresses the problem of similar image retrieval, especially in the setting of large-scale datasets with millions to billions of images. The core novel contribution is ...
This paper addresses how to quickly recognize a character pattern using a lot of case examples without learning. Here without learning means just finding the most similar example...
