We investigate two seemingly incompatible approaches for improving document retrieval performance in the context of question answering: query expansion and query reduction. Querie...
Robust semantic labeling of image regions is a basic problem in representing and retrieving image/video content. We propose an SVM-MRF framework to model features and their spatia...
This paper presents a new approach for the binarization of seriously degraded manuscript. We introduce a new technique based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) model of the document. ...
With the pervasive use of handheld digital devices such as camera phones and PDAs, people have started to capture images as a way of recording information. However, due to the non...
A hierarchical algorithm is presented for determining the similarity and equivalence of document images. Features extracted from the CCIIT fax-compressed representations of two im...
