We describe recent extensions to the Ephyra question answering (QA) system and their evaluation in the TREC 2007 QA track. Existing syntactic answer extraction approaches for fact...
We propose a novel affine-invariant modeling of hand shapeappearance images, which offers a compact and descriptive representation of the hand configurations. Our approach combine...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
