We examine issues in the design of fully dynamic information retrieval systems with support for instantaneous document insertions and deletions. We present one such system and dis...
We report on the design and evaluation of a visualization tool for Information Retrieval (IR) systems that aims to help the end user in the following respects:
Image segmentation is not only hard and unnecessary for texture-based image retrieval, but can even be harmful. Images of either individual or multiple textures are best described...
UIUC participated in the HARD track in TREC 2004 and focused on the evaluation of a new method for identifying variable-length passages using HMMs. Most existing approaches to pas...
Background: Accuracy of document retrieval from MEDLINE for gene queries is crucially important for many applications in bioinformatics. We explore five information retrieval-base...
