We describe a class of causal, discrete latent variable models called Multiple Multiplicative Factor models (MMFs). A data vector is represented in the latent space as a vector of...
Images are increasingly being embedded in HTML documents on the WWW. Such documents over the WWW essentially provides a rich source of image collection from which users can query....
— One of the critical issues in search engines is the size of search indexes: as the number of documents handled by an engine increases, the search must preserve its efficiency,...
We propose a novel approach for a dense texture-based visualization of vector fields on curved surfaces. Our texture advection mechanism relies on a Lagrangian particle tracing th...
A fundamental problem in peer-to-peer networks is how to locate appropriate peers efficiently to answer a specific query request. This paper proposes a model in which semantically...
