Efficient Traffic Crash And Snow Complaint Gis System, Anthony B. Ngo
Efficient Traffic Crash And Snow Complaint Gis System, Anthony B. Ngo
Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
We describe the design and implementation of a traffic crash and snow complaint GIS system developed for the Lincoln Public Works department. We also describe a novel geocoding algorithm that was used to move data from the older Criminal Justice Information System, which is a relational database, to the new GIS system. In addition, we describe the implementation of several indexing algorithms that enable the system to efficiently answer rectangular range queries and queries about the relative locations of moving objects. Finally, in many applications (on-line analysis or mobile GIS), we need to execute spatial query efficiently (fast and small), …

Investigation Of Luhn's Claim On Information Retrieval, İlker Kocabaş, Beki̇r Taner Di̇nçer, Bahar Karaoğlan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, we show how Luhn's claim about the degree of importance of a word in a document can be related to information retrieval. His basic idea is transformed into z-scores as the weights of terms for the purpose of modeling term frequency (tf) within documents. The Luhn-based models represented in this paper are considered as the TF component of proposed TF \times IDF weighing schemes. Moreover, the final term weighting functions appropriate for the TF \times IDF weighting scheme are applied to TREC-6, -7, and -8 databases. The experimental results show relevance to Luhn's claim by having high …
