In this paper, we analyze the redundancy in calculating all pairs of geodesic distances on a rectangular grid. Fast marching method is an efficient way to estimate the geodesic di...
Distance function computation is a key subtask in many data mining algorithms and applications. The most effective form of the distance function can only be expressed in the conte...
We compare different statistical characterizations of a set of strings, for three different histogram-based distances. Given a distance, a set of strings may be characterized by it...
The growth of the Internet has led to new avenues for distance education. A crucial factor for the success of distance education is effective mechanisms for distance evaluation. E...
Background: The estimation of the difference between two evolutionary distances within a triplet of homologs is a common operation that is used for example to determine which of t...
