Assessing semantic similarity between text documents is a crucial aspect in Information Retrieval systems. In this paper, we propose a technique to derive a similarity measure from hyper-link information. As linked documents are generally semantically clos ...
This work presents document clustering experiments performed over noisy texts (i.e. text that have been extracted through an automatic process like speech or character recognition). The effect of recognition errors on different clustering techniques is mea ...
This paper presents clustering experiments performed over noisy texts (i.e. texts that have been extracted through an automatic process like character or speech recognition). The effect of recognition errors is investigated by comparing clustering results ...
This paper presents experiments that evaluate the effect of different video segmentation methods on text-based video retrieval. Segmentations relying on modalities like speech, video and text or their combination are compared with a baseline sliding window ...
This work addresses the problem of reducing the time between query submission and results output in a retrieval system. The goal is achieved by considering only a database fraction as small as possible during the retrieval process. Our approach is based on ...
Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) consists in retrieving segments of a speech database that are relevant to a query. The state-of-the-art approach to the SDR problem consists in transcribing the speech data into digital text before applying common Informatio ...
