Region-based image retrieval systems aim to improve the effectiveness of content-based search by decomposing each image into a set of “homogeneous” regions. Thus, similarity b...
Abstract. Until recently algorithms continuously gained free performance improvements due to ever increasing processor speeds. Unfortunately, this development has reached its limit...
Personalisation in full text retrieval or full text filtering implies reweighting of the query terms based on some explicit or implicit feedback from the user. Relevance feedback i...
In this paper, we present a robust passage retrieval algorithm to extend the conventional text question answering (Q/A) to videos. Users interact with our videoQ/A system through n...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
