We propose and evaluate a query expansion mechanism that supports searching and browsing in collections of annotated documents. Based on generative language models, our feedback me...
In this paper we present a variational Bayes (VB) framework for learning continuous hidden Markov models (CHMMs), and we examine the VB framework within active learning. Unlike a ...
Nonlinear deformations in fingerprint images, arising from the elasticity of the skin as well as the pressure and movement of the finger during image acquisition, lead to diffi...
This paper addresses the problem of matching visual parts of video sequences from within a large collection. The visual content of a video sequence is described by the set of the ...
In this paper, an optimal relevance algorithm is proposed, which adapts the response of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system to the user's information needs. In part...
