In applications such as vision and molecular biology, a common problem is to find the similar objects to a given target (according to some distance measure) in a large database. T...
This paper considers a method for learning a distance metric in a fingerprinting system which identifies a query content by measuring the distance between the fingerprint of th...
An approach to target-based image retrieval is described based on on-line rank-based learning. User feedback obtained via interaction with 2D image layouts provides qualitative co...
Efficient evaluation of similarity queries is one of the basic requirements for advanced multimedia applications. In this paper, we consider the relevant case where complex similar...
Metric access methods (MAMs) serve as a tool for speeding similarity queries. However, all MAMs developed so far are index-based; they need to build an index on a given database. T...
