High-Dimensional Indexing for Video Retrieval

In this paper we present a new problem, the fast set intersection problem, which is to preprocess a collection of sets in order to efficiently report the intersection of any two sets in the collection. In addition we suggest new solutions for the two-dimensional substring indexing problem and the do...

This paper describes an effective unsupervised speaker indexing approach. We suggest a two stage algorithm to speed-up the state-of-the-art algorithm based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). In the first stage of the merging process a computationally cheap method based on the vector quanti...

The study analyses the Standard Archive Description Tools developed in different countries in order to verify the content description in these documents.

The structuring of knowledge is a major challenge for the teaching of statistical methods. At the same time, the increasing use of online resources poses problems for learners to identify and assess their relevance. The convergence of these two issues has led us to propose an informatics ontology fo...

The metaphor is a concept with double instability: definition and enal. Our work will therefore start with an epistemological analysis of the theoretical field of metaphor. Two general approaches to metaphor, distinctive and non-distinctive, will be considered in detail. We will then turn our attent...

We develop a methodology which replicates in great accuracy the FTSE Russell indexes reconstitutions, including the quarterly rebalancings due to new initial public offerings (IPOs). While using only data available in the CRSP US Stock database for our index reconstruction, we demonstrate the accura...

Researchers are used to being evaluated: publications, hiring, tenure and funding decisions are all based on the evaluation of research. Traditionally, this evaluation relied on judgement of peers but, in the light of limited resources and increased bureaucratization of science, peer review is getti...
