This paper addresses the efficient processing of similarity queries in metric spaces, where data is horizontally distributed across a P2P network. The proposed approach does not r...
In this paper we study the possibility of proving the existence of one-way functions based on average case hardness. It is well-known that if there exists a polynomial-time sample...
: The EM-4 is a supercomputer that offers very fast inter processor communication and support for multi threading. In this paper we demonstrate that the EM-4, Together with an auto...
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 ...
A new image feature called Harris feature vector is defined in this paper, which effectively describes the image gradient distribution. By computing the mean and the standard devi...
