In this paper pivoting M-tree (PM-tree) is introduced, a metric access method combining M-tree with the pivot-based approach. While in M-tree a metric region is represented by a hy...
Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, ca...
Most multimedia information retrieval systems use an indexing scheme to speed up similarity search. The index aims to discard large portions of the data collection at query time. ...
Similarity-based search has been a key factor for many applications such as multimedia retrieval, data mining, Web search and retrieval, and so on. There are two important issues r...
We propose a novel iterative searching and refining prototype for tagged images. This prototype, named PivotBrowser, captures semantically similar tag sets in a structure called p...
