We consider the problem of improving named entity recognition (NER) systems by using external dictionaries--more specifically, the problem of extending state-of-the-art NER system...
Our objective is to improve the performance of keyword based image search engines by re-ranking their baseline results. To this end, we address three limitations of existing searc...
In massively collaborative projects such as scientific or community databases, users often need to agree or disagree on the content of individual data items. On the other hand, tr...
Discovering non-trivial matching subsequences from two time series is very useful in synthesizing novel time series. This can be applied to applications such as motion synthesis wh...
When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
