AI BASED – ASSISTED SEARCH FOR MISSING PERSON

Action-Based Discretization for AI Search

As computer gaming reaches ever-greater heights in realism, we can expect the complexity of simulated dynamics to reach further as well. To populate such gaming environments with agents that behave intelligently, there must be some means of reasoning about the consequences of agent actions. Such ability to seek out the ramifications of various possible action sequences, commonly called “lookahe...

AI-Based System for Arabic Search Engine

Huge amount of Arabic information and documents are widely spread on the Internet. The accuracy of searching for Arabic documents, as well as other documents, depends on the terms used by the user in the input query to retrieve relevant results and to reduce irrelevant ones. Most results returned are relevant to the query terms not to its meaning. For example, searching for “ ت ص ل ب ا ل ش ر ا ...

Efficient Techniques for Distributed Implementation of Search-Based AI Systems

We study the problem of exploiting parallelism from search-based AI systems on distributed machines. We propose stack-splitting, a technique for implementing orparallelism, which when coupled with appropriate scheduling strategies leads to: (i) reduced communication during distributed execution; and, (ii) distribution of larger grainsized work to processors. The modified technique can also be i...

Person Search Made Easy

In this study, we present a method to extensively reduce the number of retrieved images and increase the retrieval performance for the person queries on the broadcast news videos. A multi-modal approach which integrates face and text information is proposed. A state-of-theart face detection algorithm is improved using a skin color based method to eliminate the false alarms. This pruned set is c...
