Anchor text plays a special important role in improving the performance of general Web search. The importance of anchor text comes from the fact that it is fairly objective description for a Web page by potentially a large amount of other Web pages. Vertical search provides indexing and search functionality for objects in a certain domain, and is becoming an important supplement for general Web...

This paper introduces a novel anchor design to support anchor-based face detection for superior scale-invariant performance, especially on tiny faces. To achieve this, we explicitly address the problem that anchor-based detectors drop performance drastically on faces with tiny sizes, e.g. less than 16 × 16 pixels. In this paper, we investigate why this is the case. We discover that current anch...

Anchor text has been considered as a useful resource to complement the representation of target pages and is broadly used in web search. However, previous research only uses anchor text of a single snapshot to improve web search. Historical trends of anchor text importance have not been well modeled in anchor text weighting strategies. In this paper, we propose a novel temporal anchor text weig...

When people estimate a numeric value after judging whether it is larger or smaller than a high or low anchor value (comparative question), estimates are biased in the direction of the anchor. One explanation for this anchoring effect is that people selectively access knowledge consistent with the anchor value as part of a positive test strategy. Two studies (total N = 184) supported the alterna...

Medial meniscal root tears have been repaired using various methods. Arthroscopic all-inside repair using a suture anchor is one of the popular methods. However, insertion of the suture anchor into the proper position at the posterior root of the medial meniscus is technically difficult. Some methods have been reported to facilitate suture anchor insertion through a high posteromedial portal, a...

Background. Anchors are one of the important attachment appendages for monogenean parasites. Common descent and evolutionary processes have left their mark on anchor morphometry, in the form of patterns of shape and size variation useful for systematic and evolutionary studies. When combined with morphological and molecular data, analysis of anchor morphometry can potentially answer a wide rang...

We participated in NTCIR-5 WEB Navigational Retrieval Subtask(Navi-2) in order to verify the most effective retrieval method for the index of anchor texts by using a retrieval system that indexed only anchor texts instead of full texts of Web pages. We introduced retrieval methods that combine one or more of six retrieval measures: (a) anchor frequency (af), (b) reference consistency (rc), (c) ...

ANCHOR is a web-based tool whose aim is to facilitate the analysis of protein-protein interfaces with regard to its suitability for small molecule drug design. To this end, ANCHOR exploits the so-called anchor residues, i.e. amino acid side-chains deeply buried at protein-protein interfaces, to indicate possible druggable pockets to be targeted by small molecules. For a given protein-protein co...

Did you know that some of the earliest prerequisites for data warehousing were set over 2500 years ago. It is called an anchor model since the anchors tie down a number of attributes (see picture above). All EER-diagrams have been made with Graphviz. All cats are drawn by the author, Lars Rönnbäck. 2 2 You can never step into the same river twice. 2 The great greek philosopher Heraclitus said "...
