Similarity search in metric spaces has several important applications both in centralized and distributed environments. In centralized applications, such as similarity-based image ...
Driven by many real applications, in this paper we study the problem of similarity search with implicit object features; that is, the features of each object are not pre-computed/e...

Similarity search in time series data is an active area of research in data mining. In this paper we introduce a new approach for performing similarity search over time series dat...
We have observed in recent years a growing interest in similarity search on large collections of biological sequences. Contributing to the interest, this paper presents a method fo...
Recent years saw the rapid development of peer-topeer (P2P) networks in a great variety of applications. However, similarity-based k-nearest-neighbor retrieval (k-NN) is still a c...
An important research issue in multimedia databases is the retrieval of similar objects. For most applications in multimedia databases, an exact search is not meaningful. Thus, mu...
Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
Similarity search in large multimedia databases is an important issue in nowadays multimedia environment. Multimedia objects such as music videos usually consist of multiple repre...
P2P systems are increasingly used to discover and share various data between users. The performance of a P2P based information retrieval system is determined by the efficiency of...
Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, ca...
