Improving retrieval performance by relevance feedback
- Journal of the American Society for Information Science
, 1990
"... Relevance feedback is an automatic process, introduced over 20 years ago, designed to produce improved query formulations following an initial retrieval operation. The principal relevance feedback methods described over the years are examined briefly, and evaluation data are included to demonstrate ..."

Introduction to Relevance Feedback It is well known that the original query formulation process is not transparent to most information system users. In particular
Jflow: Practical mostly-static information flow control.
- In Proceedings of the 26th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages,
, 1999
"... Abstract A promising technique for protecting privacy and integrity of sensitive data is to statically check information flow within programs that manipulate the data. While previous work has proposed programming language extensions to allow this static checking, the resulting languages are too res ..."

TaintDroid: An Information-Flow Tracking System for Realtime Privacy Monitoring on Smartphones
, 2010
"... Today’s smartphone operating systems fail to provide users with adequate control and visibility into how third-party applications use their private data. We present TaintDroid, an efficient, system-wide dynamic taint tracking and analysis system for the popular Android platform that can simultaneous ..."

Query Expansion Using Local and Global Document Analysis
- In Proceedings of the 19th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval
, 1996
"... Automatic query expansion has long been suggested as a technique for dealing with the fundamental issue of word mismatch in information retrieval. A number of approaches to expansion have been studied and, more recently, attention has focused on techniques that analyze the corpus to discover word re ..."

global analysis techniques, such as word context and phrase structure, on the local set of documents produces results that are both more effective and more predictable than simple local feedback. 1 Introduction The problem of word mismatch is fundamental to information retrieval. Simply stated, it means
The architecture of complexity
- Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society
, 1962
"... A number of proposals have been advanced in recent years for the development of “general systems theory ” that, abstracting from properties peculiar to physical, biological, or social systems, would be applicable to all of them. 1 We might well feel that, while the goal is laudable, systems of such ..."

Photo tourism: Exploring photo collections in 3D
- IN PROC. ACM SIGGRAPH
, 2006
"... We present a system for interactively browsing and exploring large unstructured collections of photographs of a scene using a novel 3D interface. Our system consists of an image-based modeling front end that automatically computes the viewpoint of each photograph as well as a sparse 3D model of th ..."

Our photo explorer uses image-based rendering techniques to smoothly transition between photographs, while also enabling full 3D navigation and exploration of the set of images and world geometry, along with auxiliary information such as overhead maps. Our
The Design and Implementation of a Log-Structured File System
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1992
"... This paper presents a new technique for disk storage management called a log-structured file system. A logstructured file system writes all modifications to disk sequentially in a log-like structure, thereby speeding up both file writing and crash recovery. The log is the only structure on disk; it ..."

; it contains indexing information so that files can be read back from the log efficiently. In order to maintain large free areas on disk for fast writing, we divide the log into segments and use a segment cleaner to compress the live information from heavily fragmented segments. We present a series
DSR: The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol for Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks”, in Ad Hoc Networking, edited by Charles E.
- Perkins, Chapter
, 2001
"... Abstract The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. DSR allows the network to be completely self-organizing and self-configuring, without the need for any existing network ..."

Cognitive networks
- IN PROC. OF IEEE DYSPAN 2005

Cognitive networks are different from other “intelligent ” communication technologies because these actions are taken with respect to the end-to-end goals of a data flow. In addition to the cognitive aspects of the network, a specification language
Consistent hashing and random trees: Distributed caching protocols for relieving hot spots on the World Wide Web
- IN PROC. 29TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY OF COMPUTING (STOC
, 1997
"... We describe a family of caching protocols for distrib-uted networks that can be used to decrease or eliminate the occurrence of hot spots in the network. Our protocols are particularly designed for use with very large networks such as the Internet, where delays caused by hot spots can be severe, and ..."

The protocols are easy to implement using existing network protocols such as TCP/IP, and require very little overhead. The protocols work with local control, make efficient use
