Abstract. We present an approach to increasing the effectiveness of rankedoutput retrieval systems that relies on graphical display and user manipulation of “views” of retrieva...
Topological relations are sometimes insufficient for differentiating spatial configurations of two objects with critical difference in their connection styles. In this paper, we pr...
Semi-supervised clustering allows a user to specify available prior knowledge about the data to improve the clustering performance. A common way to express this information is in ...
Algorithms and computational complexity measures for simulating the motion of contacting bodies with friction are presented. The bodies are restricted to be perfectly rigid bodies...
The satisfiability test checks, whether or not the evaluation of a query returns the empty set for any input document, and can be used in query optimization for avoiding the submis...
