Abstract— Thorup and Zwick, in their seminal work, introduced the approximate distance oracle, which is a data structure that answers distance queries in a graph. For any integer...
The indexing of complex data and similarity search plays an important role in many application areas. Traditional centralized index structure can not scale with the rapid prolifer...
Today’s search engines are increasingly required to broaden their capabilities beyond free-text search. More complex features, such as supporting range constraints over numeric ...

We investigate and compare two forms of recursion on sets for querying nested collections. The rst one is called sri and it corresponds to sequential processing of data. The second...
The quadratic form distance (QFD) has been utilized as an effective similarity function in multimedia retrieval, in particular, when a histogram representation of objects is used...
