We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...
Abstract. Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k 1, a ktransitive-closure-spanner (k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (V, EH ) that has (1) the same transitive...

Based on the correlation between expression and ontologydriven gene similarity, we incorporate functional annotations into gene expression clustering validation. A probabilistic f...
Proximity searching consists in retrieving from a database, objects that are close to a query. For this type of searching problem, the most general model is the metric space, where...
An important database primitive for commonly used feature databases is the similarity join. It combines two datasets based on some similarity predicate into one set such that the n...
