When searching databases of nucleotide or protein sequences, finding a local alignment of two sequences is one of the main tasks. Since the sizes of available databases grow const...
This paper describes the application of techniques derived from text retrieval research to the content-based querying of image databases. Specically, the use of inverted les, fre...
Nearest neighbour (NN) searches and k nearest neighbour (k-NN) searches are widely used in pattern recognition and image retrieval. An NN (k-NN) search finds the closest object (...
We propose a method for supporting query refinement using topical term clusters. First, we propose a new term weighting method that can extract terms strongly related to a specifi...
