Fast retrieval methods are critical for large-scale and
data-driven vision applications. Recent work has explored
ways to embed high-dimensional features or complex distance
fun...
— In this paper, we propose a population-based implementation of simulated annealing to tackle multi-objective optimisation problems, in particular those of combinatorial nature....
: Constraint Shape Model is proposed to extract facial feature using two different search methods for contour points and control points individually. In the proposed algorithm, sal...
In this paper we address the problem of identifying a broad range of term variations in Japanese web search queries, where these variations pose a particularly thorny problem due ...
This paper summarizes the task design for iCLEF 2006 (the CLEF interactive track). Compared to previous years, we have proposed a radically new task: searching images in a natural...
