We consider the problem of indexing high-dimensional data for answering (approximate) similarity-search queries. Similarity indexes prove to be important in a wide variety of sett...
Adaptive indexing is characterized by the partial creation and refinement of the index as side effects of query execution. Dynamic or shifting workloads may benefit from prelimi...

In this study, we propose two algorithms for measuring the distance between shape boundaries. In the algorithms, shape boundary is represented by the Beam Angle Statistics (BAS), w...
We describe Amharic-English cross lingual information retrieval experiments in the adhoc bilingual tracs of the CLEF 2006. The query analysis is supported by morphological analysi...
