We address the problem of describing the mean object for a set of planar shapes in the case that the considered dissimilarity measures are semi-metrics, i.e. in the case that the t...
Viewpoint independent recognition of free-form objects and their segmentation in the presence of clutter and occlusions is a challenging task. We present a novel 3D model-based alg...
When considering the problem of audio-to-audio matching, determining musical similarity using low-level features such as Fourier transforms and MFCCs is an extremely difficult ta...
Similarity measures for text have historically been an important tool for solving information retrieval problems. In many interesting settings, however, documents are often closel...
Knowledge discovery on social network data can uncover latent social trends and produce valuable findings that benefit the welfare of the general public. A growing amount of resea...
