Distance Learning for Similarity Estimation
In this paper, we present a general guideline to find a better distance measure for similarity estimation based on statistical analysis of distribution models and distance function...

Distributed Generation of a Family of Connected Dominating Sets in Wireless Sensor Networks
We study the problem of computing a family of connected dominating sets in wireless sensor networks (WSN) in a distributed manner. A WSN is modelled as a unit disk graph G = (V, E)...

A New Study on Distance Metrics as Similarity Measurement
Distance metric is widely used in similarity estimation. In this paper we find that the most popular Euclidean and Manhattan distance may not be suitable for all data distribution...

The Earth Mover's Distance is the Mallows Distance: Some Insights from Statistics
The Earth Mover's distance was first introduced as a purely empirical way to measure texture and color similarities. We show that it has a rigorous probabilistic interpretati...
