Abstract--Sequence similarity search is a common and repeated task in molecular biology. The rapid growth of genomic databases leads to the need of speeding up the treatment of thi...
Background: The inference of homology from statistically significant sequence similarity is a central issue in sequence alignments. So far the statistical distribution function un...
Many modern natural language-processing applications utilize search engines to locate large numbers of Web documents or to compute statistics over the Web corpus. Yet Web search e...
For an increasing number of modern database applications, efficient support of similarity search becomes an important task. Along with the complexity of the objects such as images...
