Fast retrieval using organ shapes is crucial in medical image databases since shape is a clinically prominent feature. In this paper, we propose that 2-D shapes in medical image da...
We present a static index pruning method, to be used in ad-hoc document retrieval tasks, that follows a documentcentric approach to decide whether a posting for a given term shoul...
We present a novel indexing schema that provides eļ¬cient nearest-neighbor queries in multimedia databases consisting of objects described by multiple feature vectors. The beneļ¬...
We propose a partitioning scheme for similarity search indexes that is called Maximal Metric Margin Partitioning (MMMP). MMMP divides the data on the basis of its distribution pat...
TREC-9 evaluation experiments at the Justsystem site are described with a focus on "aboutness" based approach in text retrieval. Experiments on the effects of supplement...
