Most of the previous works that disambiguate personal names in Web search results often employ agglomerative clustering approaches. In contrast, we have adopted a semi-supervised c...
Several inverse problems exist in the atmospheric sciences that are computationally costly when using traditional gradient based methods. Unfortunately, many standard evolutionary ...

In this paper pivoting M-tree (PM-tree) is introduced, a metric access method combining M-tree with the pivot-based approach. While in M-tree a metric region is represented by a hy...
We show that nodes of high degree tend to occur infrequently in random graphs but frequently in a wide variety of graphs associated with real world search problems. We then study ...
We suggest a variation of the Hellerstein-Koutsoupias--Papadimitriou indexability model for datasets equipped with a similarity measure, with the aim of better understanding the s...
