This paper describes our initial efforts to deploy a digital library to support computer-aided collaborative design. At present, this experimental testbed, The Engineering Design ...
Structure analysis of table form documents is an important issue because a printed document and even an electronic document do not provide logical structural information but merely...
Given a data set, a dynamical procedure is applied to the data points in order to shrink and separate, possibly overlapping clusters. Namely, Newton’s equations of motion are em...
In an information retrieval system, a thesaurus can be used for query expansion, i.e. adding words to queries in order to improve recall. We propose a semi-automatic and interactiv...
Tasks of information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be formulated in a con...
