Background: Many molecules are flexible and undergo significant shape deformation as part of their function, and yet most existing molecular shape comparison (MSC) methods treat t...
Similarity search in complex databases is of utmost interest in a wide range of application domains. Often, complex objects are described by several representations. The combinatio...
We propose two methods for finding similarities in protein structure databases. Our techniques extract feature vectors on triplets of SSEs (Secondary Structure Elements) of prote...
Distance metric is widely used in similarity estimation. In this paper we find that the most popular Euclidean and Manhattan distance may not be suitable for all data distribution...
Increasing application demands are pushing database management systems (DBMSs) towards providing adequate and efficient support for content-based retrieval over multimedia objects...
