One of the main keys in case-based reasoning system is the retrieval phase, where the most similar cases are retrieved by means of a similarity function. According to the problem, ...
The problem of record linkage focuses on determining whether two object descriptions refer to the same underlying entity. Addressing this problem effectively has many practical ap...
Many information integration tasks require computing similarity between pairs of objects. Pairwise similarity computations are particularly important in record linkage systems, as...
Recently, Balcan and Blum [1] suggested a theory of learning based on general similarity functions, instead of positive semi-definite kernels. We study the gap between the learnin...
We describe our participation in the WebCLEF 2007 task, targeted at snippet retrieval from web data. Our system ranks snippets based on a simple similarity-based centrality, inspir...
This paper gives an overview of recent approaches towards image representation and image similarity computation for content-based image retrieval and automatic image annotation (ca...
In the past few years, street-level geoviewers has become a very popular web-application. In this paper, we focus on a first urban concept which has been identified as useful for...
Collaborative and content-based filtering are two paradigms that have been applied in the context of recommender systems and user preference prediction. This paper proposes a nove...
In this paper, we present a long term learning system for content based image retrieval over a network. Relevant feedback is used among different sessions to learn both the simila...
Each facial event will give rise to complex facial appearance variation. In this paper, we propose similarity features to describe the facial appearance for video-based facial even...
