Understanding perception is critical to effective visualization design. With its low cost and scalability, crowdsourcing presents an attractive option for evaluating the large des...
Word space models, in the sense of vector space models built on distributional data taken from texts, are used to model semantic relations between words. We argue that the high dim...
Many applications require storing data in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). For example, in environmental monitoring applications, WSN may archive sensor data for retrieval at peri...
