A successful technique to search large textual databases allowing errors relies on an online search in the vocabulary of the text. To reduce the time of that online search, we ind...
Heuristic search effectiveness depends directly upon the quality of heuristic evaluations of states in the search space. We show why ordinal correlation is relevant to heuristic se...
The interest in near-ML detection algorithms for Multiple-Input/lMultiple-Output (MIMO) systems have always been high due to their drastic performance gain over suboptimal algorith...
As the number of digital images is growing fast and Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is gaining in popularity, CBIR systems should leap towards Webscale datasets. In this paper...
