The automatic annotation of images presents a particularly complex problem for machine learning researchers. In this work we experiment with semantic models and multi-class learnin...
We propose a privacy-preserving protocol for computing aggregation queries over the join of private tables. In this problem, several parties wish to share aggregated information ov...
The discovery of a person’s personally important places involves obtaining the physical locations for a person’s places that matter to his daily life and routines. This proble...
In this paper, we propose to model the blended search problem by assuming conditional dependencies among queries, VSEs and search results. The probability distributions of this mo...
Discovering users' specific and implicit geographic intention in web search can greatly help satisfy users' information needs. We build a geo intent analysis system that...
