We propose a new data structure to search in metric spaces. A metric space is formed by a collection of objects and a distance function de ned among them, which satis es the trian...
We consider the problem of computing efficient strategies for searching in trees. As a generalization of the classical binary search for ordered lists, suppose one wishes to find...
We present an algorithm for the c-approximate nearest neighbor problem in a d-dimensional Euclidean space, achieving query time of O(dn1/c2 +o(1) ) and space O(dn + n1+1/c2 +o(1) ...
Querying and integrating sources of structured data from the Web in most cases requires similarity-based concepts to deal with data level conflicts. This is due to the often errone...
Users often do not require a complete answer to their query but rather only a sample. They expect the sample to be either the largest possible or the most representative (or both)...
