An important issue arising from Peer-to-Peer applications is how to accurately and efficiently retrieve a set of K best matching data objects from different sources while minimizi...
Recent web search techniques augment traditional text matching with a global notion of "importance" based on the linkage structure of the web, such as in Google's P...
Support vector machines (SVMs) excel at two-class discriminative learning problems. They often outperform generative classifiers, especially those that use inaccurate generative m...
The problem of measuring "similarity" of objects arises in many applications, and many domain-specific measures have been developed, e.g., matching text across documents...
Molecular interaction databases can be used to study the evolution of molecular pathways across species. Querying such pathways is a challenging computational problem, and recent e...
