Carrying out experiments in Information Retrieval is a heavy activity requiring fast tools to treat collections of significant size, and at the same time flexible tools to leave...
This paper presents a new dependence language modeling approach to information retrieval. The approach extends the basic language modeling approach based on unigram by relaxing th...

We describe a method to define and use subwebs, user-defined neighborhoods of the Internet. Subwebs help improve search performance by inducing a topic-specific page relevance ...

Users of a digital book library system typically interact with the system to search for books by querying on the metadata describing the books or to search for information in the p...
We present a generic natural language processing (NLP) architecture, acronym QTIL, based on a system of cooperating multiple agents (Q/A, T, I, and L agents) which can be used in ...
Information retrieval systems have to deal with uncertain knowledge and query results should reflect this uncertainty in some manner. However, Semantic Web ontologies are based on...
In this paper we present a fast and efficient match algorithm, which consists of two key techniques: Spectral Correlation Based Feature Merge(SCBFM) and Two-Step Retrieval(TSR). ...
This paper proposes an algorithm for studying spectral contents of pitched sounds in real-world recordings. We assume that the 2nd -order difference, w.r.t. partial index, of a pi...
Despite the fact that people are increasingly listening to music electronically, the core interface of the common tools for playing the music have had very little improvement. In ...
