To improve the process of user information retrieval, we propose the concept of a latent semantic map (LSM), along with a method of generating this map. The novel aspect of the LS...
In this paper, we investigate a problem of predicting what images are likely to appear on the Web at a future time point, given a query word and a database of historical image str...
This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for learning the user profile. The user profile is learned incrementally and continuously based on user’s initial profile, his actions ...
A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
In focused XML retrieval, information retrieval systems have to find out which are the most appropriate retrieval units and return only these to the user, avoiding overlapping elem...
