Estimating distances in the Internet has been studied in the recent years due to its ability to improve the performance of many applications, e.g., in the peer-topeer realm. One sc...
This paper introduces BoostMap, a method that can significantly reduce retrieval time in image and video database systems that employ computationally expensive distance measures, ...

: A novel support vector machine method for classification is presented in this paper. A modified kernel function based on the similarity metric and Riemannian metric is applied ...
It is well known that using high-locality representations is important for efficient evolutionary search. This paper discusses how the locality of a representation influences the ...
Local curvature represents an important shape parameter of space curves which are well described by differential geometry. We have developed an estimator for local curvature of spa...
