Client-server synchronization and buffering for variable rate multimedia retrievals
(1996)
We consider the use of large buffers and feedback as a mechanism to maintain loosely coupled synchronization between a multimedia server and a client. The multimedia stream is modeled as a fluid flow through rate controlled ...
Automatic ranking of information retrieval systems using data fusion
(Elsevier Ltd, 2006-05)
Measuring effectiveness of information retrieval (IR) systems is essential for research and development and for monitoring search quality in dynamic environments. In this study, we employ new methods for automatic ranking ...
A practitioner's guide for static index pruning
(Springer, 2009-04)
We compare the term- and document-centric static index pruning approaches as described in the literature and investigate their sensitivity to the scoring functions employed during the pruning and actual retrieval stages. ...
Cover coefficient-based multi-document summarization
(Springer, 2009-04)
In this paper we present a generic, language independent multi-document summarization system forming extracts using the cover coefficient concept. Cover Coefficient-based Summarizer (CCS) uses similarity between sentences ...
A database model for querying visual surveillance videos by integrating semantic and low-level features
(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2005)
Automated visual surveillance has emerged as a trendy application domain in recent years. Many approaches have been developed on video processing and understanding. Content-based access to surveillance video has become a ...
A distributed and measurement-based framework against free riding in peer-to-peer networks
(IEEE, 2004)
In this paper, we propose a distributed and measurement-based method to reduce the degree of free riding in P2P networks. We primarily focus on developing schemes to locate free riders and on determining policies that can ...
Constrained min-cut replication for K-way hypergraph partitioning
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (I N F O R M S), 2014)
Replication is a widely-used technique in information retrieval and database systems for providing fault tolerance and reducing parallelization and processing costs. Combinatorial models based on hypergraph partitioning ...
A privacy-preserving solution for compressed storage and selective retrieval of genomic data
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2016)
In clinical genomics, the continuous evolution of bioinformatic algorithms and sequencing platforms makes it beneficial to store patients' complete aligned genomic data in addition to variant calls relative to a reference ...
Localization of diagnostically relevant regions of interest in whole slide images: a comparative study
(Springer New York LLC, 2016-08)
Whole slide digital imaging technology enables researchers to study pathologists’ interpretive behavior as they view digital slides and gain new understanding of the diagnostic medical decision-making process. In this ...
A machine learning approach for result caching in web search engines
(Elsevier, 2017)
A commonly used technique for improving search engine performance is result caching. In result caching, precomputed results (e.g., URLs and snippets of best matching pages) of certain queries are stored in a fast-access ...
