This paper proposes two modifications to the geometrically deformable template model. First, the optimization stage originally based on simulated annealing is replaced with a meta...
Hybrid algorithms combining local and systematic search often use nondeterminism in fundamentally different ways. They may differ in the strategy to explore the search tree and/o...
Peer-to-peer network overlays have mostly been designed to support search over document names, identifiers, or keywords from a small or controlled vocabulary. In this paper we pro...
Geography is becoming increasingly important in web search. Search engines can often return better results to users by analyzing features such as user location or geographic terms...
