Similarity retrieval have been widely used in many practical search applications. A similarity query model can be viewed as a logical combination of a set of similarity predicates....
For the discovery of similar patterns in 1D time-series, it is very typical to perform a normalization of the data (for example a transformation so that the data follow a zero mea...
We introduce a cost model for the M-tree access method [Ciaccia et al., 1997] which provides estimates of CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for the execution of similarity ...
Protein structure similarity and classification methods have many applications in protein function prediction and associated fields (e.g. drug discovery). In this paper, we propose...
Identification of all objects in a dataset whose similarity is not less than a specified threshold is of major importance for management, search, and analysis of data. Set similari...
