We present in this paper a combination of Machine Learning based Information Retrieval (IR) techniques and stochastic language modelling in a hierarchical system that extracts sur...
Modern extensible database systems support multimedia data through ADTs. However, because of the problems with multimedia query formulation, this support is not sufficient. Multim...
The impact of using phrases as content representation for documents and for queries has generally been accepted as a desirable feature in information retrieval systems because phr...
