—As databases increasingly integrate different types of information such as multimedia, spatial, time-series, and scientific data, it becomes necessary to support efficient retri...
Recent research has shown that while many complex networks follow a power-law distribution for their node degrees, it is not sufficient to model these networks based only on their...
This paper discusses local alignment kernels in the context of the relation extraction task. We define a local alignment kernel based on the Smith-Waterman measure as a sequence s...
Similarity retrieval mechanisms should utilize generalized quadratic form distance functions as well as the Euclidean distance function since ellipsoid queries parameters may vary...
This paper introduces a method for the recognition planar objects under projective geometry. Our method is based on a similarity measure invariant to projective transform. The pro...
