Sketch based 3D shape retrieval has become an important research topic in content based 3D object retrieval. To foster this research area, two Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC) tracks on this topic have been organized by us in 2012 and 2013 based on a small scale and large scale benchmarks, respectively. Six and five (nine in total) distinct sketch based 3D shape retrieval methods have competed e...

I will present an analysis of how path dependent IR is support in the Ostensive Model for retrieval. It will involve a discussion of appropriate similarity measures and an explanation of how to predict and present a choice of objects for a user in terms of the path traversed in the object (or interpretation) space.

This paper presents a method for automatically generating an association thesaurus from a text corpus, and demonstrates its application to information retrieval. The thesaurus generation method .consists of extracting tenns and co-occurrence data from a corpus and analyzing the correlation between terms statistically. A new method for disambiguating the structure of compound nouns, which is a k...

In this two-part study, a single-Doppler parameter retrieval technique is developed and applied to a real-data case to provide model initial conditions for a short-range prediction of a supercell thunderstorm. The technique consists of the sequential application of a single-Doppler velocity retrieval (SDVR), followed by a variational velocity adjustment, a thermodynamic retrieval, and a moistur...

The DLR-funded project “Integration of remote sensing data in operational water balance and flood forecasting systems” (InFerno) has been originated to establish an operational synergy of remote sensing and flood forecasting. Upon availability, InFerno intends to make excessive use of ENVISAT ASAR data, which will provide microwave imagery at a specifically appropriate spatial and temporal reso...

Lucene [4, 3] is a popular open-source IR toolkit, which has been widely used in many searchrelated applications [5]. However, there was no study on evaluating the retrieval performance of the default retrieval function that is implemented in Lucene. Clearly, an improved retrieval function would enable all the applications based on Lucene such as Nutch to achieve higher search accuracy. Thus it...

• Trait emotional intelligence predicts the number of emotion words retrieved. Negligible effect working memory capacity on retrieval words. Valence effects are less language -dependent and more psychologically -dependent. Common salient in L1 L2; predominance positive Negative link between trait intelligence. Cognition interrelated concepts. However, very little is known about relation (WMC) (...

In our current research project about electronic designs the problem to retrieve attribute dependent generalized cases occurs. This kind of cases cover an arbitrary subspace rather than a point in the space, spanned by the cases attributes and by a set of constraints. For such representations, the similarity assessment between a point query and generalized cases is a difficult problem for which...

Co-occurrence analysis has been used to determine related words or terms in many NLP-related applications such as query expansion in Information Retrieval (IR). However, related words are usually determined with respect to a single word, without relevant information for its application context. For example, the word “programming” may be considered to be strongly related to “Java”, and applied i...
