Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, ca...
We consider the problem of finding similarities in protein structure databases. Our techniques extract feature vectors on triplets of SSEs (Secondary Structure Elements). Later, ...
In this paper, we propose a method for shape-similarity search of 3D polygonal-mesh models. The system accepts triangular meshes, but tolerates degenerated polygons, disconnected ...
XML is becoming the standard representation format for metadata. Metadata for multimedia documents, as for instance MPEG-7, require approximate match search functionalities to be s...
Similarity search has been widely used in many applications such as information retrieval, image data analysis, and time-series matching. Specifically, a similarity query retrieves...
