We wish to endow the manifold M of smooth curves in lRn with a Riemannian metric that allows us to treat continuous morphs (homotopies) between two curves c0 and c1 as trajectorie...
We define a novel metric on the space of closed planar curves which decomposes into three intuitive components. According to this metric centroid translations, scale changes and ...

A method of determining the similarity of nouns on the basis of a metric derived from the distribution of subject, verb and object in a large text corpus is described. The resulti...
The reverse k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) problem, i.e. finding all objects in a data set the k-nearest neighbors of which include a specified query object, is a generalization of the...
One central issue in system structuring and quality prediction is the interdependencies of system modules. This paper proposes a novel technique for determining the operational co...
