A Linear Time Histogram Metric for Improved SIFT Matching
We present a new metric between histograms such as SIFT descriptors and a linear time algorithm for its computation. It is common practice to use the L2 metric for comparing SIFT d...

Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...

Finding Top-k Similar Pairs of Objects Annotated with Terms from an Ontology
With the growing focus on semantic searches and interpretations, an increasing number of standardized vocabularies and ontologies are being designed and used to describe data. We ...

A sublinear algorithm for weakly approximating edit distance
We show how to determine whether the edit distance between two given strings is small in sublinear time. Specifically, we present a test which, given two n-character strings A and...

EMD-L1: An Efficient and Robust Algorithm for Comparing Histogram-Based Descriptors
We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
