We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
In this paper, we consider hybrid peer-to-peer systems where users form an unstructured peer-to-peer network with the purpose of assisting a server in the distribution of data. We...
The intelligent reformulation or restructuring of a belief network can greatly increase the efficiency of inference. However, time expended for reformulation is not available for ...
The query models of the recent generation of very large scale distributed (VLSD) shared-nothing data storage systems, including our own PNUTS and others (e.g. BigTable, Dynamo, Ca...

Learning semantics from annotated images to enhance content-based retrieval is an important research direction. In this paper, annotation data are assumed available for only a sub...
