We describe a recursive algorithm to quickly compute the N nearest neighbors according to a similarity measure in a metric space. The algorithm exploits an intrinsic property of a...
Abstract. Mutual Information (MI) is a long studied measure of information content, and many attempts to apply it to feature extraction and stochastic coding have been made. Howeve...
Assuming 3-SAT formulas are hard to refute with high probability, Feige showed approximation hardness results, among others for the max bipartite clique. We extend this result in t...
We present a multi-dimensional indexing approach for fast sequence similarity search in DNA and protein databases. In particular, we propose effective transformations of subsequen...
Abstract. Recent works have shown the advantage of using Active Learning methods, such as the Query by Committee (QBC) algorithm, to various learning problems. This class of Algori...
