Abstract. A new interpretation of rules in rough set theory is introduced. According to the positive, boundary, and negative regions of a set, one can make a three-way decision: ac...
In order to bridge the “Semantic gap”, a number of relevance feedback (RF) mechanisms have been applied to content-based image retrieval (CBIR). However current RF techniques i...

We introduce perturbation kernels, a new class of similarity measure for information retrieval that casts word similarity in terms of multi-task learning. Perturbation kernels mode...
We review the history of modeling score distributions, focusing on the mixture of normal-exponential by investigating the theoretical as well as the empirical evidence supporting i...
We address the problem of online term recurrence prediction: for a stream of terms, at each time point predict what term is going to recur next in the stream given the term occurre...
Abstract. We have found that the nearest neighbor (NN) test is an insufficient measure of the cluster hypothesis. The NN test is a local measure of the cluster hypothesis. Designer...
Abstract Even the best information retrieval model cannot always identify the most useful answers to a user query. This is in particular the case with web search systems, where it ...
Empirical modeling of the score distributions associated with retrieved documents is an essential task for many retrieval applications. In this work, we propose modeling the releva...
