RFID technology shall increase security, e.g. by helping to prevent counterfeiting. But the technology also causes privacy issues. In this paper, after highlighting goals and prob...
An experimental adaptive filtering system, built on the Okapi search engine, is described. In addition to the regular text retrieval functions, the system requires a complex set o...
This paper presents an optical interconnect model for k-ary n-cube network topologies based on freespace analysis. This model integrates relevant parameters inherent to optics wit...
This poster session examines a probabilistic approach to distributed information retrieval using a Logistic Regression algorithm for estimation of collection relevance. The algori...
Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) tasks are evaluated using a cost function. The standard TDT cost function assumes a constant probability of relevance P(rel) across all topics. ...
