This paper describes our practical query-by-humming system, SoundCompass, which is being used as a karaoke song selection system in Japan. First, we describe the fundamental techn...
This paper presents a potential seed selection algorithm for web crawlers using a gain - share scoring approach. Initially we consider a set of arbitrarily chosen tourism queries. ...
In this paper, we attempt to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of query-dependent link-based ranking algorithms such as HITS, MAX and SALSA. All these ranking algorith...
Recent data stream systems such as TelegraphCQ have employed the well-known property of duality between data and queries. In these systems, query processing methods are classified...
In this paper, we introduce self-tuning histograms. Although similar in structure to traditional histograms, these histograms infer data distributions not by examining the data or...
