Tasks of information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be formulated in a con...
The early success of link-based ranking algorithms was predicated on the assumption that links imply merit of the target pages. However, today many links exist for purposes other ...
In this paper, we propose a new context-based method for object recognition. We first introduce a neuro-physiologically motivated visual part detector. We found that the optimal f...
We present a new adaptive and energy-efficient broadcast model to support flexible responses to client queries. Clients do not have to request documents by name, since they may kno...
—This paper derives the optimal search time and the optimal search cost that can be achieved in unstructured peer-topeer networks when the demand pattern exhibits clustering (i.e...
