Similarity retrieval mechanisms should utilize generalized quadratic form distance functions as well as the Euclidean distance function since ellipsoid queries parameters may vary...
Increasingly large collections of structured data necessitate the development of efficient, noise-tolerant retrieval tools. In this work, we consider this issue and describe an ap...
In this paper, we propose to apply an NA-tree in the Chord system to encode spatial region data in the data key part used in the hash function to data search. That is, we combine t...
It is well known that prior knowledge or bias can speed up learning, at least in theory. It has proved di cult to make constructive use of prior knowledge, so that approximately c...
