One of the challenges of music information retrieval is the automatic extraction of effective content descriptors of music documents, which can be used at indexing and at retrieva...
Abstract. In this paper we provide a full-scale evaluation of a cluster-based architecture for P2P IR, focusing on retrieval effectiveness. We observe that there is a significant ...
This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
The paper makes three points of significance for IR research: (1) The Cranfield paradigm of IR evaluation seems to lose power when one looks at human instead of system performance....
Searching for small objects (e.g., logos) in images is a critical yet challenging problem. It becomes more difficult when target objects differ significantly from the query object...
