Entity resolution (ER) identifies database records that refer to the same real world entity. In practice, ER is not a one-time process, but is constantly improved as the data, sc...
We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
In this work, we are interested in technologies that will allow users to actively browse and navigate large image databases and to retrieve images through interactive fast browsin...
Many semi-supervised learning algorithms only
deal with binary classification. Their extension to the
multi-class problem is usually obtained by repeatedly
solving a set of bina...
User modeling for information retrieval has mostly been studied to improve the effectiveness of information access in centralized repositories. In this paper we explore user model...
