The proliferation of network data in various application domains has raised privacy concerns for the individuals involved. Recent studies show that simply removing the identities ...
: Hard metrics are the class of extremal metrics with respect to embedding into Euclidean spaces: they incur Ω(logn) multiplicative distortion, which is as large as it can possib...
Abstract: We introduce the notion of ∧- and ∨-pairs of functions on lattices as an abstraction of the notions of metric and its related entropy for probability distributions. T...
Similarity search has been proved suitable for searching in very large collections of unstructured data objects. We are interested in efficient parallel query processing under si...
