This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
Metric access methods (MAMs), such as the M-tree, are powerful index structures for supporting ty queries on metric spaces, which represent a common abstraction for those searchin...
A new access method, called M-tree, is proposed to organize and search large data sets from a generic "metric space", i.e. where object proximity is only defined by a di...
Optimized spaced seeds improve sensitivity and specificity in local homology search. Several authors have shown that multiple seeds can have better sensitivity and specificity t...
We address the problem of designing data structures that allow efficient search for approximate nearest neighbors. More specifically, given a database consisting of a set of vecto...
