In many image retrieval applications, the mapping between highlevel semantic concept and low-level features is obtained through a learning process. Traditional approaches often as...
We propose a novel and generic video/image reranking algorithm, IB reranking, which reorders results from text-only searches by discovering the salient visual patterns of relevant...
We consider the problem of document indexing and representation. Recently, Locality Preserving Indexing (LPI) was proposed for learning a compact document subspace. Different from...
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a Federated Array of Bricks (FAB), a distributed disk array that provides the reliability of traditional enterpr...
Recent statistical performance surveys of search algorithms in difficult combinatorial problems have demonstrated the benefits of randomising and restarting the search procedure. ...
