Speech recognition is usually based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), which represent the temporal dynamics of speech very efficiently, and Gaussian mixture models, which do non-opt...
In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method of identifying traffic conditions on surface streets given location traces collected from on-road vehicles--this requires o...
—In this paper we present a scalable and distributed system for image retrieval based on visual features and annotated text. This system is the core of the SAPIR project. Its arc...
Database replication based on group communication systems has recently been proposed as an efficient and resilient solution for large-scale data management. However, its evaluati...
