Background: The availability of various high-throughput experimental and computational methods allows biologists to rapidly infer functional relationships between genes. It is oft...
A RkNN query returns all objects whose nearest k neighbors contain the query object. In this paper, we consider RkNN query processing in the case where the distances between attri...
Semantic similarity measures have been used successfully and extensively in the biomedical research with various applications. As the biomedical ontologies, which form the main gro...
In this paper we improve previous work on measuring the similarity of short segments of text in two ways. First, we introduce a Web-relevance similarity measure and demonstrate it...
Determining the grade of semantic similarity between geospatial concepts is the basis for evaluating semantic interoperability of geographic information services and their users. G...
