Abstract. In this paper, we present a general approach to shape characterization and deformation analysis of 2D/3D deformable visual objects. In particular, we define a reference ...
Abstract. In the context of XML data management systems, the estimation of query cardinality is becoming more and more important: the information provided by a query result estimat...
In the paper we present a generalized discriminative multiple instance learning algorithm (GD-MIL) for multimedia semantic concept detection. It combines the capability of the MIL...
We introduce a combinatorial dimension that characterizes the number of queries needed to exactly (or approximately) learn concept classes in various models. Our general dimension...
Challenging the implicit reliance on document collections, this paper discusses the pros and cons of using query logs rather than document collections, as self-contained sources o...
