We present a novel approach to learn distance metric for information retrieval. Learning distance metric from a number of queries with side information, i.e., relevance judgements...
A system to retrieve images using a description of the image intensity surface is presented. Gaussian derivative lters at several scales are applied to the image and low order 2D ...
We consider the problem of creating a sample view of a database table. A sample view is an indexed, materialized view that permits efficient sampling from an arbitrary range query...
In the emerging area of sensor-based systems, a significant challenge is to develop scalable, fault-tolerant methods to extract useful information from the data the sensors collec...

We propose an extension to current view-based mediator systems called model-based mediation, in which views are defined and executed at the level of conceptual models (CMs) rather...
