Range searches in metric spaces can be very di cult if the space is \high dimensional", i.e. when the histogram of distances has a large mean and a small variance. The so-cal...
Nearest neighbor queries are important in many settings, including spatial databases (Find the k closest cities) and multimedia databases (Find the k most similar images). Previou...
A key method for privacy preserving data mining is that of randomization. Unlike k-anonymity, this technique does not include public information in the underlying assumptions. In ...
In this paper, we propose the Pyramid-Technique, a new indexing method for high-dimensional data spaces. The PyramidTechnique is highly adapted to range query processing using the...
In recent years subdivision methods have been one of the most successful techniques applied to the multi-resolution representation and visualization of surface meshes. Extension t...
