We prove that every n-point metric space of negative type (and, in particular, every npoint subset of L1) embeds into a Euclidean space with distortion O( log n ? log log n), a r...
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...
A large number of computer tasks can be modeled as the search for an object near a given query. From multimedia databases to learning algorithms, data mining and pattern recognitio...
We give an on-line deterministic algorithm for the weighted bipartite matching problem that achieves a competitive ratio of (2n − 1) in any metric space (where n is the number o...

Time series data abounds in real world problems. Measuring the similarity of time series is a key to solving these problems. One state of the art measure is the longest common sub...
