We introduce and validate bootstrap techniques to compute confidence intervals that quantify the effect of test-collection variability on average precision (AP) and mean average...
In this demonstration, we show a novel system, Video Booklet, which enables nature personal video browsing and searching. Firstly representative thumbnails of video segments are s...
In visual information retrieval the careful choice of suitable proximity measures is a crucial success factor. The evaluation presented in this paper aims at showing that the dist...
Future agent applications will increasingly represent human users autonomously or semi-autonomously in strategic interactions with similar entities. Hence, there is a growing need...
Current Information Retrieval systems use inverted index structures for efficient query processing. Due to the extremely large size of many data sets, these index structures are u...
