    • Enabling Content-Based Image Retrieval in Very Large Digital Libraries 

      Bolettieri, Paolo; Esuli, Andrea; Falchi, Fabrizio; Lucchese, Claudio; Perego, Raffaele; Rabitti, Fausto (2009)
      Enabling e ective and e cient Content-Based Image Re- trieval (CBIR) on Very Large Digital Libraries (VLDLs), is today an important research issue. While there exist well-known approaches for information retrieval on textual ...
    • Exploiting individual users and user groups interaction features: methodology and infrastructure design 

      Di Buccio, Emanuele; Melucci, Massimo (2009)
      The user may be a source of evidence for supporting infor- mation access through Digital Library (DL) systems. In particular, the features gathered while monitoring the interaction between the user and a DL system can be ...
    • Improving Query Results with Automatic Duplicate Detection 

      Astrova, Irina (2009)
      Ontology-based data integration poses significant challenges. One is that an ontology used as a global reference model during the ontology-based data integration can contain duplicated attributes, which can easily lead ...
    • Improving Similarity Search in Face-Images Data 

      Chambel, Pedro; Barbosa, Fernanda (2009)
      Similarity search involves finding all the face-images in a database, which are similar to a desired face-image, based on some distance measure. Comparing the desired face-image to all the face-images in a large dataset ...
