The Earth Mover's Distance as a Metric for Image Retrieval
We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...

Inter-residue distances derived from fold contact propensities correlate with evolutionary substitution costs
Background: The wealth of information on protein structure has led to a variety of statistical analyses of the role played by individual amino acid types in the protein fold. In p...
