In visual question answering (VQA), a machine must answer a question given an associated image. Recently, accessibility researchers have explored whether VQA can be deployed in a real-world setting where users with visual impairments learn…
Querying is one of the basic functionality expected from a database system. Query efficiency is adversely affected by increase in the number of participating tables. Also, querying based on syntax largely limits the gamut of queries a…
AI systems' ability to explain their reasoning is critical to their utility and trustworthiness. Deep neural networks have enabled significant progress on many challenging problems such as visual question answering (VQA). However, most of…
Question Answering (QA) is increasingly used by search engines to provide results to their end-users, yet very few websites currently use QA technologies for their search functionality. To illustrate the potential of QA technologies for the…
The Deep Web is constituted by data that are accessible through Web pages, but not readily indexable by search engines as they are returned in dynamic pages. In this paper we propose a conceptual framework for answering keyword queries on…
This paper introduces a novel method for closed information extraction. The method employs a discriminative approach that incorporates type and entity-specific information to improve relation extraction accuracy, particularly benefiting…
Visual question answering (VQA) demands simultaneous comprehension of both the image visual content and natural language questions. In some cases, the reasoning needs the help of common sense or general knowledge which usually appear in the…
Web services are playing an important role in e-business and e-commerce applications. As web service applications are interoperable and can work on any platform, large scale distributed systems can be developed easily using web services.…
One of the most useful techniques to help visual data analysis systems is interactive filtering (brushing). However, visualization techniques often suffer from overlap of graphical items and multiple attributes complexity, making visual…
Visual Graph Query Interfaces (VQIs) empower non-programmers to query graph data by constructing visual queries intuitively. Devising efficient technologies in Graph Query Engines (GQEs) for interactive search and exploration has also been…
Query-aware webpage snippet extraction is widely used in search engines to help users better understand the content of the returned webpages before clicking. Although important, it is very rarely studied. In this paper, we propose an…
Faceted browsing is a commonly supported feature of user interfaces for access to information. Existing interfaces generally treat facet values selected by a user as hard filters and respond to the user by only displaying information items…
Tables on the Web contain a vast amount of knowledge in a structured form. To tap into this valuable resource, we address the problem of table retrieval: answering an information need with a ranked list of tables. We investigate this…
Query-based video situation detection (as opposed to manual or customized algorithms) is critical for diverse applications such as traffic monitoring, surveillance1 , and other types of environmental/infrastructure monitoring. Video…
We propose a cheat sensitive quantum protocol to perform a private search on a classical database which is efficient in terms of communication complexity. It allows a user to retrieve an item from the server in possession of the database…
Over the past few years, we have built a system that has exposed large volumes of Deep-Web content to Google.com users. The content that our system exposes contributes to more than 1000 search queries per-second and spans over 50 languages…
Search engines enable the retrieval of unknown information with texts. However, traditional methods fall short when it comes to understanding unfamiliar visual content, such as identifying an object that the model has never seen before.…
We initiate an investigation how the fundamental concept of independence can be represented effectively in the presence of incomplete information in relational databases. The concepts of possible and certain independence are proposed, and…
The Internet has become a very powerful platform where diverse medical information are expressed daily. Recently, a huge growth is seen in searches like symptoms, diseases, medicines, and many other health related queries around the globe.…
Consider the situation where a query is to be answered using Web sources that restrict the accesses that can be made on backend relational data by requiring some attributes to be given as input of the service. The accesses provide lookups…
