We present a probabilistic generative model of visual attributes, together with an efficient learning algorithm. Attributes are visual qualities of objects, such as ‘red’, ...
This paper develops and analyzes distributed search techniques for use in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network-based Information Retrieval (IR) system. In the absence of a centralized med...

We address the problem of representing and processing 3D objects, described through simplicial meshes, which consist of parts of mixed dimensions, and with a non-manifold topology...

Several IR tasks rely, to achieve high efficiency, on a single pervasive data structure called the inverted index. This is a mapping from the terms in a text collection to the docu...
