Distributed data management systems consist of peers that store, exchange and process data in order to collaboratively achieve a common goal, such as evaluate some query. We study...
The GIST descriptor has recently received increasing attention in the context of scene recognition. In this paper we evaluate the search accuracy and complexity of the global GIST...
In many market settings, agents do not know their preferences a priori. Instead, they may have to solve computationally complex optimization problems, query databases, or perform ...
The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such that the r...
Low-Complexity Regions (LCRs) of biological sequences are the main source of false positives in similarity searches for biological sequence databases. We consider the problem of ï...
