So far, an efficient similarity search in multimedia databases has been carried out by metric access methods (MAMs), where the utilized similarity measure had to satisfy the metric...
The techniques of information retrieval and information extraction are complementary, but to date there has been little concrete work aimed at integrating the two. We describe how...
In this poster,we incorporate user query history, as context information, to improve the retrieval performance in interactive retrieval. Experiments using the TREC data show that ...
–This paper is an experimental study on the performance of the two major methods for macro-level similarity measurement: linear weighted merging and logical retrieval. Performanc...
We demonstrate the merits of using inter-document similarities for federated search. Specifically, we study a resultsmerging method that utilizes information induced from cluster...
