In image retrieval, most existing approaches that incorporate local features produce high dimensional vectors, which lead to a high computational and data storage cost. Moreover, ...
Abstract— For solving multimodal problems by means of evolutionary algorithms, one often resorts to multistarts or niching methods. The latter approach the question: ‘What is e...
Current web search engines focus on searching only the most recent snapshot of the web. In some cases, however, it would be desirable to search over collections that include many ...
This paper presents new look-ahead schemes for backtracking search when solving constraint satisfaction problems. The look-ahead schemes compute a heuristic for value ordering and...
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...
