: This paper describes an approach to information retrieval based on a syntactic analysis of the document texts and user queries, and from that analysis, the construction of tree s...
We give an O(n lg n)-time algorithm for counting the number of inversions in a permutation on n elements. This improves a long-standing previous bound of O(n lg n/ lg lg n) that ...
Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
This paper describes revised content-based search experiments in the context of TRECVID 2003 benchmark. Experiments focus on measuring content-based video retrieval performance wi...
Users of image databases often prefer to retrieve relevant images by categories. Unfortunately, images are usually indexed by low-level features like color, texture and shape, whi...
