In this paper, we investigate the detection of semantic
human actions in complex scenes. Unlike conventional
action recognition in well-controlled environments,
action detection...
We consider the problem of building a P2P-based search engine for massive document collections. We describe a prototype system called ODISSEA (Open DIStributed Search Engine Archi...
Molecular interaction databases can be used to study the evolution of molecular pathways across species. Querying such pathways is a challenging computational problem, and recent e...
The Cranfield evaluation method has some disadvantages, including its high cost in labor and inadequacy for evaluating interactive retrieval techniques. As a very promising alter...
Motivated by many applications, top-k query is a fundamental operation in modern database systems. Technological advances have enabled the deployment of large-scale sensor networks...
