Abstract. Efficient nearest neighbor (NN) search techniques for highdimensional data are crucial to content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Traditional data structures (e.g., kd-tree...

The main research in the area of image databases addresses the improvement of retrieval quality and the speedup of the query processing. A number of image retrieval systems reache...
Uncertain inference is a probabilistic generalisation of the logical view on databases, ranking documents according to their probabilities that they logically imply the query. For ...
In some information retrieval scenarios, for example internal help desk systems, texts are entered into the document collection without proofreading. This can result in a relative...
Content-only retrieval of XML documents deals with the problem of locating the smallest XML elements that satisfy the query. In this paper, we investigate the application of a spec...
Abstract. Efficient and effective routing of content-based queries is an emerging problem in peer-to-peer networks, and can be seen as an extension of the traditional “resource ...
In a federated digital library system, it is too expensive to query every accessible library. Resource selection is the task to decide to which libraries a query should be routed....
Named entities in topics are a major factor contributing to the quality of retrieval results. In this paper, we report on an analysis on the correlation between the number of named...
The exponential growth of data demands scalable infrastructures capable of indexing and searching rich content such as text, music, and images. A promising direction is to combine...
