We used the YFILTER filtering system for experiments on updating profiles and setting thresholds. We developed a new method of using language models for updating profiles that is ...
We define a deterministic metric of "well-behaved data" that enables searching along the lines of interpolation search. Specifically, define to be the ratio of distance...
We consider the problem of finding similarities in protein structure databases. Our techniques extract feature vectors on triplets of SSEs (Secondary Structure Elements). Later, ...
The University of Maryland participated in three TREC-6 tasks: ad hoc retrieval, cross-language retrieval, and spoken document retrieval. The principal focus of the work was evalu...
This paper describes our participation in the TREC Legal experiments in 2007. We have applied novel normalization techniques that are designed to slightly favor longer documents i...
