Probabilistic models have recently been utilized for the optimization of large combinatorial search problems. However, complex probabilistic models that attempt to capture interpa...
Today's Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) techniques are based on the "k-nearest neighbors" (kNN) model. They retrieve images from a single neighborhood using lo...
Many binary code encoding schemes based on hashing have been actively studied recently, since they can provide efficient similarity search, especially nearest neighbor search, an...
Collaborative Filtering (CF) recommendations are computed by leveraging a historical data set of users’ ratings for items. It assumes that the users’ previously recorded ratin...
This paper introduces a novel type of query, what we name Spatio-temporal Pattern Queries (STP). Such a query specifies a spatiotemporal pattern as a sequence of distinct spatial...
