— Rearrangements of genes and other syntenic blocks have become a topic of intensive study by phylogenists, comparative genomicists, and computational biologists: they are a feat...
The problem of combining the ranked preferences of many experts is an old and surprisingly deep problem that has gained renewed importance in many machine learning, data mining, a...
Complex similarity queries, i.e., multi-feature multi-object queries, are needed to express the information need of a user against a large multimedia repository. Even if a user in...
Edit distance based string similarity join is a fundamental operator in string databases. Increasingly, many applications in data cleaning, data integration, and scientific compu...
We present a new iterative algorithm for ontology mapping where we combine standard string distance metrics with a structural similarity measure that is based on a vector represent...
