In the area of Text Retrieval, processing a query in the vector model has been verified to be qualitatively more effective than searching in the boolean model. However, in case o...
Pseudo-independent (PI) models are a special class of probabilistic domain model (PDM) where a set of marginally independent domain variables shows collective dependency, a specia...
Face recognition accuracy is affected by many factors. This paper studies one of the factors, and provides a reliable image alignment for face recognition. For this purpose, a per...
We define a natural notion of efficiency for approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search in general n-point metric spaces, namely the existence of a randomized algorithm which answ...
In this paper we propose to use a distance metric based on user-preferences to efficiently find solutions for manyobjective problems. We use a particle swarm optimization (PSO) a...
