We consider the problem of encrypting structured data (e.g., a web graph or a social network) in such a way that it can be efficiently and privately queried. For this purpose, we ...
The problem of approximate parameterized string searching consists of finding, for a given text t = t1t2 ...tn and pattern p = p1p2 ...pm over respective alphabets Σt and Σp, t...
It has been shown repeatedly that iterative relevance feedback is a very efficient solution for content-based image retrieval. However, no existing system scales gracefully to hu...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...
