Searching answers to complex questions is a challenging IR task. In this paper, we examine the use of query templates with semantic slots to formulate slot-based queries. These qu...
Background: The study of biological systems demands computational support. If targeting a biological problem, the reuse of existing computational models can save time and effort. ...

Typical content-based image retrieval (CBIR) solutions with regular Euclidean metric usually cannot achieve satisfactory performance due to the semantic gap challenge. Hence, rele...
This paper presents a method for automatically annotating and retrieving animal images. Our model is a multi-modality ontology extended from our previous works in the sense that b...
Modern web search engines are expected to return top-k results efficiently given a query. Although many dynamic index pruning strategies have been proposed for efficient top-k com...
