Information filtering systems constitute a critical component in modern information seeking applications. As the number of users grows and the information available becomes even bi...
We show that the problem of optimal bit allocation among a set of independent discrete quantizers given a budget constraint is equivalent to the multiple choice knapsack problem (...
Music sequences can be treated as texts in order to perform music retrieval tasks on them. However, the text search problems that result from this modeling are unique to music retr...
We study the problem of estimating the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) between probability distributions when given access only to samples of the distributions. We give closeness t...
