Abstract. In this paper, we address the problem of computing a canonical representation of an n-dimensional combinatorial map. To do so, we define two combinatorial map signatures...
Recent progress of computer and network technologies makes it possible to store and retrieve a large volume of multimedia data in many applications. In such applications, efficien...
Although many algorithms have been developed to harvest lexical resources, few organize the mined terms into taxonomies. We propose (1) a semi-supervised algorithm that uses a roo...
Finding structure in multiple streams of data is an important problem. Consider the streams of data owing from a robot's sensors, the monitors in an intensive care unit, or p...
Background: Agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) is a common unsupervised data analysis technique used in several biological applications. Standard AHC methods require that...
