We present a fast technique for retrieving video clips using free-hand sketched queries. Visual keypoints within each video are detected and tracked to form short trajectories, wh...
In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
We study metric learning as a problem of information retrieval. We present a general metric learning algorithm, based on the structural SVM framework, to learn a metric such that ...
Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems offer an efficient means of data sharing among a dynamically changing set of a large number of autonomous nodes. Each node in a p2p system is connected...
In the area of Text Retrieval, processing a query in the vector model has been verified to be qualitatively more effective than searching in the boolean model. However, in case o...
