Multi-stream hidden Markov models (HMMs) have recently been very successful in audio-visual speech recognition, where the audio and visual streams are fused at the final decision...
Complex similarity queries, i.e., multi-feature multi-object queries, are needed to express the information need of a user against a large multimedia repository. Even if a user in...
There has been much recent interest in retrieval of time series data. Earlier work has used a fixed similarity metric (e.g., Euclidean distance) to determine the similarity betwee...
Conventional operators for data retrieval are either based on exact matching or on total order relationship among elements. Neither of them is appropriate to manage complex data, s...
In the logical approach to information retrieval (IR), retrieval is considered as uncertain inference. Whereas classical IR models are based on propositional logic, we combine Dat...
