We investigate the numerical solution of large-scale Lyapunov equations with the sign function method. Replacing the usual matrix inversion, addition, and multiplication by format...
Relevance feedback, which traditionally uses the terms in the relevant documents to enrich the user's initial query, is an effective method for improving retrieval performanc...
The Maximum Betweenness Centrality problem (MBC) can be defined as follows. Given a graph find a k-element node set C that maximizes the probability of detecting communication be...
Belief propagation is a popular global optimization technique for many computer vision problems. However, it requires extensive computation due to the iterative message passing op...
With the popularity of "bag of visual terms" representations of images, many text indexing techniques have been applied in large-scale image retrieval systems. However, ...
