Edgar Chavez (CICESE): The Metric Approach to Reverse Searching (School Seminar)

Abstract: Searching for complex objects (e.g. images, faces, audio or video), is an everyday problem in computer science, motivated by many applications. Efficient algorithms are demanded for reverse searching, also known as query by content, in large repositories. Current industrial solutions are ad hoc, domain-dependant, hardware intensive and have limited scaling. However, those disparate domains Edgar Chavez (CICESE): The Metric Approach to Reverse Searching (School Seminar)
