We describe the WebCLEF 2008 task. Similarly to the 2007 edition of WebCLEF, the 2008 edition implements a multilingual "information synthesis" task, where, for a given t...
Learning Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) from corpora and incorporating the extracted inferring knowledge with a Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier has been applied to charac...
In this paper, we propose a neural network model for predicting the durations of syllables. A four layer feedforward neural network trained with backpropagation algorithm is used ...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
Many objects have smooth surfaces of a fairly uniform color, thereby exhibiting shading patterns that reveal information about its shape, an important clue to the nature of the ob...
