We present a distributed index data structure and algorithms devised to support parallel query processing of multimedia content in search engines. We present a comparative study wi...
This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
We propose a parallel MPI search engine that is capable of automatically switching between asynchronous message passing and bulk-synchronous message passing modes of operation. Whe...
The context in which a speech-driven application is used (or conversely not used) can be an important signal for recognition engines, and for spoken interface design. Using large-...
This paper is concerned with rank aggregation, the task of combining the ranking results of individual rankers at meta-search. Previously, rank aggregation was performed mainly by...
