When searching databases of nucleotide or protein sequences, finding a local alignment of two sequences is one of the main tasks. Since the sizes of available databases grow const...
Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
Adaptable similarity queries based on quadratic form distance functions are widely popular in data mining application domains including multimedia, CAD, molecular biology or medica...
Background: Agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) is a common unsupervised data analysis technique used in several biological applications. Standard AHC methods require that...
Abstract. This paper presents a new approximation method for computing arguments or explanations in the context of logic-based argumentative or abductive reasoning. The algorithm c...
