One of the key problems in appearance-based vision is understanding how to use a set of labeled images to classify new images. Classification systems that can model human performa...
A RkNN query returns all objects whose nearest k neighbors contain the query object. In this paper, we consider RkNN query processing in the case where the distances between attri...
The performance of many computer vision and machine learning algorithms critically depends on the quality of the similarity measure defined over the feature space. Previous works...
—We consider the problem of determining the “closest”, or best Internet host to connect to, from a list of candidate servers. Most existing approaches rely on the use of metr...
Most multimedia information retrieval systems use an indexing scheme to speed up similarity search. The index aims to discard large portions of the data collection at query time. ...
