—A fast online algorithm OnlineSVMR for training Ramp-Loss Support Vector Machines (SVMR s) is proposed. It finds the optimal SVMR for t+1 training examples using SVMR built on t...
Experts often disagree about the organization of biological taxa. The shifting definitions of taxonomic names complicate otherwise simple queries concerning these taxa. For examp...
We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
Web search engines often federate many user queries to relevant structured databases. For example, a product related query might be federated to a product database containing thei...
