In traditional Information Retrieval (IR), user profiles are often represented by keyword/concepts space vectors or by some predefined categories. Unfortunately, this data is often...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
Energy costs are quickly rising in large-scale data centers and are soon projected to overtake the cost of hardware. As a result, data center operators have recently started turni...
