Web search engines exploit conjunctive queries and special ranking criteria which differ from the disjunctive queries typically used for ad-hoc retrieval. We wanted to asses the e...
Abstract. Text documents have sparse data spaces, and nearest neighbors may belong to different classes when using current existing proximity measures to describe the correlation ...
A framework for mapping a polar-like coordinate system to a non-rigid shape is presented. Using a graph pyramid, a binary shape is decomposed into connected parts, based on its st...
We consider point location in Delaunay triangulations with the aid of simple data structures. In particular, we analyze methods in which a simple data structure is used to first lo...
Location cloaking has been proposed and well studied to protect user privacy. It blurs the accurate user location (i.e., a point with coordinates) and replaces it with a well-shape...
