In this paper, we introduce a geographic similarity operator that computes the relatedness between two geographic places and describe how it is combined with textual ranking. The ...
In the current state-of-the-art in multimedia content analysis (MCA), the fundamental techniques are typically derived from core pattern recognition and computer vision algorithms...
Retrieving music from large digital databases is a demanding computational task. The cost for indexing and searching depends not only on the computational effort of measuring music...
The paper considers an interactive search paradigm in which at each round a user is presented with a set of k images and is required to select one that is closest to her target. P...
