This paper presents a method for tuning parameters under a fixed time constraint for a general binocular stereo-vision algorithm. A major difficulty in stereo vision, as well as i...
Abstract. In supervised learning, discretization of the continuous explanatory attributes enhances the accuracy of decision tree induction algorithms and naive Bayes classifier. M...
Pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) via query-expansion has been proven to be effective in many information retrieval (IR) tasks. In most existing work, the top-ranked documents from...
Score normalization is indispensable in distributed retrieval and fusion or meta-search where merging of result-lists is required. Distributional approaches to score normalization...
