We explore the hypothesis that it is possible to obtain information about the dynamics of a blog network by analysing the temporal relationships between blogs at a semantic level, ...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...
— Similarity joins have attracted significant interest, with applications in Geographical Information Systems, astronomy, marketing analyzes, and anomaly detection. However, all...

Abstract. In this paper, we present a constraint-partitioning approach for finding local optimal solutions of large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs). Ba...
The explosive growth of multimedia data poses serious challenges to data storage, management and search. Efficient near-duplicate detection is one of the required technologies for...
