Several IR tasks rely, to achieve high efficiency, on a single pervasive data structure called the inverted index. This is a mapping from the terms in a text collection to the docu...
An overview of generative sound models is presented. We discuss the benefits they offer in a variety of media contexts including indexing and retrieval, compression, sonification,...
The use of fractals in computer graphics and vision in modeling unstructured images, and compressing images, is well known. However, the use of fractals for indexing images in con...
Abstract. Latent semantic indexing (LSI) is an application of numerical method called singular value decomposition (SVD), which discovers latent semantic in documents by creating c...
We report on a simple encoding format called wzip for decompressing block-sorting transforms, such as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT). Our compressor uses the simple notions o...
