This paper introduces a new framework for the organization of electronic books (e-books)
and their corresponding authors using a multilayer self-organizing map (MLSOM). An author …

Abstract Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems consider only a pairwise analysis,
ie, they measure the similarity between pairs of images, ignoring the rich information …

This chapter describes several methods of similarity search, based on metric indexing, in
terms of their common, underlying principles. Several approaches to creating lower bounds …

Similarity search in high-dimensional metric spaces is a key operation in many applications,
such as multimedia databases, image retrieval, object recognition, and others. The high …

This paper presents a new technique and two algorithms to bulk-load data into multi-way
dynamic metric access methods, based on the covering radius of representative elements …

Abstract Metric Access Methods (MAMs) have been proved to allow performing similarity
queries over complex data more efficiently than other access methods. They can be …

Constant technological advances in electronic devices have led to the growth of elaborated
data such as large texts, time series, georeferenced imagery, genetic sequences, photos …

The main contribution of this paper is a bulk-loading algorithm for multi-way dynamic metric
access methods based on the covering radius of a representative, like the Slim-tree. The …

ABSTRACT Web Information Retrieval is another problem of searching elements of a set
that are closest to a given query under a certain similarity criterion. It is of interest to take …
