An optimal algorithm for the distinct elements problem
We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet...

EMD-L1: An Efficient and Robust Algorithm for Comparing Histogram-Based Descriptors
We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
