Tasks of data mining and information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be for...
Existing temporal pattern mining assumes that events do not have any duration. However, events in many real world applications have durations, and the relationships among these ev...

Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
We present a tree data structure for fast
nearest neighbor operations in general n-
point metric spaces (where the data set con-
sists of n points). The data structure re-
