Starting with a similarity function between objects, it is possible to define a distance metric (the kernel distance) on pairs of objects, and more generally on probability distr...

Images are being produced and made available in ever increasing numbers; but how can we find images "like this one" that are of interest to us? Many different systems hav...
While Kolmogorov complexity is the accepted absolute measure of information content in an individual finite object, a similarly absolute notion is needed for the information distan...
In applications such as vision and molecular biology, a common problem is to find the similar objects to a given target (according to some distance measure) in a large database. T...
The Hausdorff distance between two sets of curves is a measure for the similarity of these objects and therefore an interesting feature in shape recognition. If the curves are alg...
