—In this paper, we present an original image quality metric for open-loop transcoding architectures based on frequency selective transmission. The proposed metric computes the no...
A new generation of distributed systems and applications rely on the cooperation of diverse user populations motivated by self-interest. While they can utilize “reputation syste...

We address the problem of similarity metric selection in pairwise affinity clustering. Traditional techniques employ standard algebraic context-independent sample-distance measur...
We propose a shape population metric that reflects the interdependencies between points observed in a set of examples. It provides a notion of topology for shape and appearance m...
Design pattern density is a metric that measures how much of an object-oriented design can be understood and represented as instances of design patterns. Expert developers have lo...
In this paper we propose to use a distance metric based on user-preferences to efficiently find solutions for manyobjective problems. We use a particle swarm optimization (PSO) a...
Abstract. The task of similarity search is widely used in various areas of computing, including multimedia databases, data mining, bioinformatics, social networks, etc. For a long ...
