For nearest neighbor search, a user queries a server for nearby points of interest (POIs) with his/her location information. Our aim is to protect the user’s sensitive informatio...
Similarity search in multimedia databases requires an efficient support of nearest-neighbor search on a large set of high-dimensional points as a basic operation for query process...

We present a theory of a modeler's problem decomposition skills in the context of optimal reasonzng -- the use of qualitative modeling to strategically guide numerical explor...
In this paper, we propose a novel and simple fast block-matching algorithm (BMA), called adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS), which consists of two sequential search stages: 1) ini...
It is often practical to measure how linear a certain ordered set of points is. We are interested in linearity measures which are invariant to rotation, scaling, and translation. T...
