The importance of text mining stems from the availability of huge volumes of text databases holding a wealth of valuable information that needs to be mined. Text categorization is...
Existing estimation approaches for spatial databases often rely on the assumption that data distribution in a small region is uniform, which seldom holds in practice. Moreover, the...
Despite the existence of obstacles in many database applications, traditional spatial query processing utilizes the Euclidean distance metric assuming that points in space are dire...

—We present an overview of the combinatorial framework for similarity search. An algorithm is combinatorial if only direct comparisons between two pairwise similarity values are ...
We investigate techniques for analysis and retrieval of object trajectories in a two or three dimensional space. Such kind of data usually contain a great amount of noise, that ma...
