Distributed computing has been slow to benefit from the productivity revolution that has transformed the desktop. We still treat the Web as a separate technology space: programmer...
In this paper, we consider the challenging problem of object duplicate detection and localization. Several applications require efficient object duplicate detection methods, such ...
