It is well-known that the time and memory necessary to create a codebook from large training databases have hindered the vector quantization based systems for real applications. T...

Through the use of a new disk-based method for enumerating very large orbits, condensation for orbits with tens of billions of elements can be performed. The algorithm is novel in...
In this paper we propose a parallel approach for the Kmeans Vector Quantization (VQ) algorithm used in a twostage Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based system for recognizing handwritte...

In this paper we discuss a new type of query in Spatial Databases, called the Trip Planning Query (TPQ). Given a set of points of interest P in space, where each point belongs to ...
Searching for similar objects in metric-space databases can be efficiently solved by using index data structures. A number of alternative sequential indexes have been proposed in...
