Motivated by the hypothesis that the retrieval performance of a weighting model is independent of the language in which queries and collection are expressed, we compared the retrie...
A popular approach to pixel labeling problems, such as multiclass image segmentation, is to construct a pairwise conditional Markov random field (CRF) over image pixels where the...
—This paper reviews the characteristics of overlay networks and defines effective relay nodes that can improve the performance of interactive real-time applications. A heuristic ...
We consider finite horizon Markov decision processes under performance measures that involve both the mean and the variance of the cumulative reward. We show that either randomiz...
The performance of image retrieval with SVM active learning is known to be poor when started with few labelled images only. In this paper, the problem is solved by incorporating t...
