The increasing throughput of sequencing raises growing needs for methods of sequence analysis and comparison on a genomic scale, notably, in connection with phylogenetic tree reco...
Determining similarities among multimedia objects is a fundamental task in many content-based retrieval, analysis, mining, and exploration applications. Among state-of-the-art sim...
In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
A novel algorithm is proposed to learn pattern similarities for texture image retrieval. Similar patterns in di erent texture classes are grouped into a cluster in the feature spac...
Conventional similarity metrics used to sustain diversity in evolving populations are not well suited to sequential decision tasks. Genotypes and phenotypic structure are poor pre...
