In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
—The performance of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms depends strongly upon the interaction among the particles. The existing communication topologies for PSO (e.g. st...
All pairs similarity search is the problem of finding all pairs of records that have a similarity score above the specified threshold. Many real-world systems like search engine...
Low-Complexity Regions (LCRs) of biological sequences are the main source of false positives in similarity searches for biological sequence databases. We consider the problem of ...
We investigate the problem of searching similar multiattribute time sequences. Such sequences arise naturally in a number of medical, financial, video, weather forecast, and stoc...
