Most similarity search techniques map the data objects into some high-dimensional feature space. The similarity search then corresponds to a nearest-neighbor search in the feature...
The similarity search has become a fundamental computational task in many applications. One of the mathematical models of the similarity – the metric space – has drawn attenti...
Data mining applications analyze large collections of set data and high dimensional categorical data. Search on these data types is not restricted to the classic problems of minin...
