In this paper, we aim to estimate the similarity between users according to their GPS trajectories. Our approach first models a user’s GPS trajectories with a semantic location ...
Modern extensible database systems support multimedia data through ADTs. However, because of the problems with multimedia query formulation, this support is not sufficient. Multim...
Current approaches for answering queries with imprecise constraints require users to provide distance metrics and importance measures for attributes of interest. In this paper we ...
This paper finds and analyzes a formula for the total variation distance between iterations of riffle shuffles and iterations of "cut and then riffle shuffle". This allo...
Recent research has shown that while many complex networks follow a power-law distribution for their node degrees, it is not sufficient to model these networks based only on their...
