Conventional similarity metrics used to sustain diversity in evolving populations are not well suited to sequential decision tasks. Genotypes and phenotypic structure are poor pre...
Background: Proteins that are similar in sequence or structure may perform different functions in nature. In such cases, function cannot be inferred from sequence or structural si...
Tree edit distance is one of the most frequently used distance measures for comparing trees. When using the tree edit distance, we need to determine the cost of each operation, bu...
The quadratic form distance (QFD) has been utilized as an effective similarity function in multimedia retrieval, in particular, when a histogram representation of objects is used...
