The performance of graph based clustering methods critically depends on the quality of the distance function, used to compute similarities between pairs of neighboring nodes. In t...
Tree structures are useful for describing and analyzing biological objects and processes. Consequently, there is a need to design metrics and algorithms to compare trees. A natura...
This paper discusses building complex classifiers from a single labeled example and vast number of unlabeled observation sets, each derived from observation of a single process or...
In modern application domains such as multimedia, molecular biology and medical imaging, similarity search in database systems is becoming an increasingly important task. Especial...
