Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
Background: Agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) is a common unsupervised data analysis technique used in several biological applications. Standard AHC methods require that...
Background: High throughput technologies often require the retrieval of large data sets of sequences. Retrieval of EMBL or GenBank entries using keywords is easy using tools such ...
Background: A large volume of data and information about genes and gene products has been stored in various molecular biology databases. A major challenge for knowledge discovery ...
An important consideration in similarity-based retrieval of moving object trajectories is the definition of a distance function. The existing distance functions are usually sensi...
