Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
We present an efficient prototype for music information retrieval. The prototype uses bitparallel algorithms for locating transposition invariant matches of monophonic query melod...
Location-based services are increasingly popular and it is a key challenge to efficiently support query processing. We present a novel design to process large numbers of location...
In this paper, we address the problem of designing a scalable, accurate query processor for peerto-peer filesharing and similar distributed keyword search systems. Using a global...
