We propose a mesh segmentation algorithm via recursive bisection where at each step, a sub-mesh embedded in 3D is first spectrally projected into the plane and then a contour is ...
Most information-retrieval systems preprocess the data to produce an auxiliary index structure. Empirically, it has been observed that there is a tradeoff between query response t...
Background: Existing biological databases support a variety of queries such as keyword or definition search. However, they do not provide any measure of relevance for the instance...
Digital libraries are a core information technology. When the stored data is complex, e.g. high-resolution images or molecular protein structures, simple query types like the exac...
Most research in algorithms for geometric query problems has focused on their worstcase performance. However, when information on the query distribution is available, the alternat...
