Efficient similarity search in high-dimensional spaces is important to content-based retrieval systems. Recent studies have shown that sketches can effectively approximate L1 dist...
The emergence of the Semantic Web has led to the creation of large semantic knowledge bases, often in the form of RDF databases. Improving the performance of RDF databases necessit...
In this paper we present two contributions to improve accuracy and speed of an image search system based on bag-of-features: a contextual dissimilarity measure (CDM) and an effici...
Moving-objects databases need a spatio-temporal indexing scheme for moving objects to efficiently process queries over continuously changing locations of the objects. A simple exte...
In nearest neighbor searching we are given a set of n data points in real d-dimensional space, d , and the problem is to preprocess these points into a data structure, so that give...
