In state-of-the-art image retrieval systems, an image is
represented by a bag of visual words obtained by quantizing
high-dimensional local image descriptors, and scalable
schem...

Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
Estimation via sampling out of highly selective join queries is well known to be problematic, most notably in online aggregation. Without goal-directed sampling strategies, samples...
Due to their capability for expressing semantics and relationships among data objects, semi-structured documents have become a common way of representing domain knowledge. Compari...
