Challenging the implicit reliance on document collections, this paper discusses the pros and cons of using query logs rather than document collections, as self-contained sources o...
The increasing power of techniques to model complex geometry and extract meaning from 3D information create complex data that must be described, stored, and displayed to be useful...
This paper discusses object-based representation of video shots acquired by a moving camera. Our approach uses an extraction of foreground regions capable of representing semantic...
We develop a novel approach to the semantic analysis of short text segments and demonstrate its utility on a large corpus of Web search queries. Extracting meaning from short text...
Most algorithms for extracting illuminant chromaticity from arbitrary images, such as the images found on the web, are based on machine learning techniques. We will show how a phy...
