WHIRL is an extensionof relational databasesthat canperform "soft joins" basedon the similarity of textual identifiers;thesesoftjoins extendthe traditional operationof j...
This paper presents a simple and efficient algorithm for approximate dictionary matching designed for similarity measures such as cosine, Dice, Jaccard, and overlap coefficients. ...
There are several auxiliary pre-computed access structures that allow faster answers by reading less base data. Examples are materialized views, join indexes, B-tree and bitmap in...
We consider the problem of finding similarities in protein structure databases. Our techniques extract feature vectors on triplets of SSEs (Secondary Structure Elements). Later, ...
In this paper, we study the problem of keyword proximity search over XML documents and leverage the efficiency and effectiveness. We take the disjunctive semantics among input key...
