Pseudo-relevance feedback is an effective technique for improving retrieval results. Traditional feedback algorithms use a whole feedback document as a unit to extract words for ...
In this paper, an optimal relevance algorithm is proposed, which adapts the response of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system to the user's information needs. In part...
To use their pool of resources efficiently, distributed stream-processing systems push query operators to nodes within the network. Currently, these operators, ranging from simple...
