The rise of social interactions on the Web requires developing new methods of information organization and discovery. To that end, we propose a generative community-based probabil...
Collaborative annotation tools are in widespread use. The metadata from these systems can be mined to induce semantic relationships among Web objects (sites, pages, tags, concepts...
We address the challenge of semantic gap reduction for image retrieval through an improved SVM-based active relevance feedback framework, together with a hybrid visual and concept...
We investigate the application of genetic algorithms (GAs) for recognizing real two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) objects from 2-D intensity images, assuming that th...
