Tasks of data mining and information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be for...
Applications such as audio fingerprinting require search in high dimensions: find an item in a database that is similar to a query. An important property of this search task is t...

Autonomous state generalization problem is a key issue in the research field of behavior learning of reactive agents, and many approaches have been proposed in recent years. Howeve...
Stochastic relational models (SRMs) [15] provide a rich family of choices for learning and predicting dyadic data between two sets of entities. The models generalize matrix factor...
We give a fast rejection scheme that is based on image segments and demonstrate it on the canonical example of face detection. However, instead of focusing on the detection step w...
