Abstract. Estimating the degree of similarity between images is a challenging task as the similarity always depends on the context. Because of this context dependency, it seems qui...
This paper develops a general, formal framework for modeling term dependencies via Markov random fields. The model allows for arbitrary text features to be incorporated as eviden...
Information retrieval algorithms leverage various collection statistics to improve performance. Because these statistics are often computed on a relatively small evaluation corpus...
