The optimal settings of retrieval parameters often depend on both the document collection and the query, and are usually found through empirical tuning. In this paper, we propose ...
This paper surveys the theoretical developments in the field of stochastic process algebras, process algebras where action occurrences may be subject to a delay that is determined...
In this paper, we present a computational scene model and also derive novel algorithms for computing audio and visual scenes and within-scene structures in films. We use constraint...
