The pages and hyperlinks of the World Wide Web may be viewed as nodes and edges in a directed graph. In this paper, we propose a new definition of the distance between two pages, ...
In a question answering (QA) system, the fundamental problem is how to measure the distance between a question and an answer, hence ranking different answers. We demonstrate that s...
Although most time-series data mining research has concentrated on providing solutions for a single distance function, in this work we motivate the need for a single index structu...
Abstract. Comparison of images requires a distance metric that is sensitive to the spatial location of objects and features. Such sensitive distance measures can, however, be compu...
— We consider learning in a transductive setting using instance-based learning (k-NN) and present a method for constructing a data-dependent distance “metric” using both labe...
