We proposed and implemented a novel clustering algorithm called LAIR2, which has constant running time average for on-the-fly Scatter/Gather browsing [4]. Our experiments showed ...
We describe a method for predicting query difficulty in a precision-oriented web search task. Our approach uses visual features from retrieved surrogate document representations (...

In the absence of manual organization of large digital photo collections, the photos' visual content and creation dates can help support time-based visual search tasks. Curre...

We present a new approach for enhancing local scene contrast by unsharp masking over arbitrary surfaces under any form of illumination. Our adaptation of a well-known 2D technique...
Decision trees have been successfully used for the task of classification. However, state-of-the-art algorithms do not incorporate the user in the tree construction process. This ...
