Portable, reusable test collections are a vital part of research and development in information retrieval. Reusability is difficult to assess, however. The standard approach— si...

A fundamental privacy problem in the client-server setting is the retrieval of a record from a database maintained by a server so that the computationally bounded server remains ob...
ct We describe work on the visualization of bibliographic data and, to aid in this task, the application of numerical techniques for multidimensional scaling. Many areas of scienti...
We introduce query-free information retrieval, a paradigm in which queries are constructed autonomously and information relevant to a user is offered without explicit request. Que...
Abstract. The task of information extraction can be seen as a problem of semantic matching between a user-defined template and a piece of information written in natural language. T...
Phonetic matching is used in applications such as name retrieval, where the spelling of a name is used to identify other strings that are likely to be of similar pronunciation. In...
Abstract. In this paper, a new approach for retrieval from semistructured photographic collections is described. We have developed a retrieval model based on the Dempster-Shafer th...
The recent enormous increase in the use of networked information access and on-line databases has led to more databases being available in languages other than English. The Center...
The information access and retrieval capabilities provided by several conventional search engines, while improving upon traditional techniques, are lacking in supporting conceptua...
Computing least common subsumers in description logics is an important reasoning service useful for a number of applications. As shown in the literature, it can, for instance, be u...
