Text is a pervasive information type, and many applications require querying over text sources in addition to structured data. This paper studies the problem of query processing i...
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
Image retrieval critically relies on the distance function used to compare a query image to images in the database. We suggest to learn such distance functions by training binary ...
Background: To further understand the implementation of hyperparameters re-estimation technique in Bayesian hierarchical model, we added two more prior assumptions over the weight...
: In this paper we propose a multifactor biometric sketch authentication method based on biometric sketch recognition and a user’s personal knowledge about the sketch‘s content...
