Record linkage identifies multiple records referring to the same entity even if they are not bit-wise identical. It is thus an essential technology for data integration and data c...
Case-Based Reasoning systems retrieve cases using a similarity function based on the K-NN or some derivatives. These functions are sensitive to irrelevant, interacting or noisy fe...
This paper presents a method for assessing the quality of similarity functions. The scenario taken into account is that of approximate data matching, in which it is necessary to d...

— As person names are non-unique, the same name on different Web pages might or might not refer to the same real-world person. This entity identification problem is one of the m...
Students are often asked to submit electronic copies of their program code as part of assessment in computer science courses. To counter code plagiarism, educational institutions ...

This proposal explores a unified framework to solve Semantic Web tasks that often require similarity measures, such as RDF retrieval, ontology alignment, and semantic service match...
The problem of version detection is critical in many important application scenarios, including software clone identification, Web page ranking, plagiarism detection, and peer-to-...

We study solutions to the problem of evaluating image similarity in the context of content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Retrieval is formulated as a classification problem, wher...
Similarity search and data mining often rely on distance or similarity functions in order to provide meaningful results and semantically meaningful patterns. However, standard dist...
