Computation-Enabled Object Storage (COS) systems, such as MinIO and Ceph, have recently emerged as promising storage solutions for post hoc, SQL-based analysis on large-scale datasets in High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments. By…
In this paper, we describe our end-to-end content-based image retrieval system built upon Elasticsearch, a well-known and popular textual search engine. As far as we know, this is the first time such a system has been implemented in…
In the realm of point cloud scene understanding, particularly in indoor scenes, objects are arranged following human habits, resulting in objects of certain semantics being closely positioned and displaying notable inter-object…
Vector similarity search presents significant challenges in terms of scalability for large and high-dimensional datasets, as well as in providing native support for hybrid queries. Serverless computing and cloud functions offer attractive…
We present ElasticHash, a novel approach for high-quality, efficient, and large-scale semantic image similarity search. It is based on a deep hashing model to learn hash codes for fine-grained image similarity search in natural images and a…
Images from social media can reflect diverse viewpoints, heated arguments, and expressions of creativity, adding new complexity to retrieval tasks. Researchers working onContent-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) have traditionally tuned their…
Open Source Software (OSS) development challenges traditional software engineering practices. In particular, OSS projects are managed by a large number of volunteers, working freely on the tasks they choose to undertake. OSS projects also…
At present, the cloud storage used in searchable symmetric encryption schemes (SSE) is provided in a private way, which cannot be seen as a true cloud. Moreover, the cloud server is thought to be credible, because it always returns the…
Conventional object-stores are built on top of traditional OS storage stack, where I/O requests typically transfers through multiple hefty and redundant layers. The complexity of object management has grown dramatically with the ever…
Modern software development increasingly depends on open-source libraries and third-party components, which are often encapsulated into containerized environments. While improving the development and deployment of applications, this…
As deep learning blooms with growing demand for computation and data resources, outsourcing model training to a powerful cloud server becomes an attractive alternative to training at a low-power and cost-effective end device. Traditional…
The problem of organizing and finding images in a user's directory has become increasingly challenging due to the rapid growth in the number of images captured on personal devices. This paper presents a solution that utilizes zero shot…
We present sec-cs, a hash-table-like data structure for file contents on untrusted storage that is both secure and storage-efficient. We achieve authenticity and confidentiality with zero storage overhead using deterministic authenticated…
Hashing methods have been widely used for efficient similarity retrieval on large scale image database. Traditional hashing methods learn hash functions to generate binary codes from hand-crafted features, which achieve limited accuracy…
We present a method for detecting objects in images using a single deep neural network. Our approach, named SSD, discretizes the output space of bounding boxes into a set of default boxes over different aspect ratios and scales per feature…
This position paper explores how to support the Web's evolution through an underlying data-centric approach that better matches the data-orientedness of modern and emerging applications. We revisit the original vision of the Web as a…
Huge image data sets are the fundament for the development of the perception of automated driving systems. A large number of images is necessary to train robust neural networks that can cope with diverse situations. A sufficiently large…
Similarity search is the task of retrieving data items that are similar to a given query. In this paper, we introduce the time-sensitive notion of similarity search over endless data-streams (SSDS), which takes into account data quality and…
Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has a potential to improve the predictive performance of machine learning models using unlabeled data. Although there has been remarkable recent progress, the scope of demonstration in SSL has mainly been on…
Keyword-based web queries with local intent retrieve web content that is relevant to supplied keywords and that represent points of interest that are near the query location. Two broad categories of such queries exist. The first encompasses…
