Abstract. Generic Programming deals with the construction of programs that can be applied to many dierent datatypes. This is achieved by parameterizing the generic programs by the...
Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
A definition of types in an information system is given from ld abstractions through data constructs, schema and definitions to physical data values. Category theory suggests tha...
This paper presents a new biometric identifier, namely finger-knuckle-print (FKP), for personal identity authentication. First a specific data acquisition device is constructed to...
We present a query-by-example audio retrieval framework by indexing audio clips in a generic database as points in a latent perceptual space. First, feature-vectors extracted from...
