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...
Low-Complexity Regions (LCRs) of biological sequences are the main source of false positives in similarity searches for biological sequence databases. We consider the problem of ...
Background: Cis-regulatory modules are combinations of regulatory elements occurring in close proximity to each other that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Th...

Recent web search techniques augment traditional text matching with a global notion of "importance" based on the linkage structure of the web, such as in Google's P...
Efficient evaluation of similarity queries is one of the basic requirements for advanced multimedia applications. In this paper, we consider the relevant case where complex similar...
