Similarity Search: The Metric Space Approach (Advances in Database Systems)

Buy
The area of similarity searching is a very hot topic for both research and commercial applications. Current data processing applications use data with considerably less structure and much less precise queries than traditional database systems. Examples are multimedia data like images or videos that offer queryby-example search, product catalogs that provide users with preference-based search, scientific data records from observations or experimental analyses such as biochemical and medical data, or XML documents that come from heterogeneous data sources on the Web or in intranets and thus does not exhibit a global schema. Such data can neither be ordered in a canonical manner nor meaningfully searched by precise database queries that would return exact matches.

This novel situation is what has given rise to similarity searching, also referred to as content-based or similarity retrieval. The most general approach to similarity search, still allowing construction of index structures, is modeled in metric space. In this book. Prof. Zezula and his co-authors provide the first monograph on this topic, describing its theoretical background as well as the practical search tools of this innovative technology.

The proliferation of information housed in computerized domains makes it vital to find tools to search these resources efficiently and effectively. Ordinary retrieval techniques are inadequate because sorting is simply impossible. Consequently, proximity searching has become a fundamental computation task in a variety of application areas.

Similarity Search focuses on the state of the art in developing index structures for searching the metric space. Part I of the text describes major theoretical principles, and provides an extensive survey of specific techniques for a large range of applications. Part II concentrates on approaches particularly designed for searching in large collections of data. After describing the most popular centralized disk-based metric indexes, approximation techniques are presented as a way to significantly speed up search time at the cost of some imprecision in query results. Finally, the scalable and distributed metric structures are discussed.

Handbook of Firearms and Ballistics: Examining and Interpreting Forensic Evidence
Does the gunshot residue reveal how far from the target a weapon was fired? Is there any trace evidence to prove the accused handled a specific firearm? What is the likely behaviour of a ricocheting bullet? Do the marks on a bullet prove categorically that it was fired from a particular weapon? These are all issues (amongst others) that the fully...

Using CiviCRM
Using CiviCRM

Donald Lobo, Michal Mach, and I started CiviCRM almost six years ago. Back then, open source software had gained traction in the operating system arena, but the idea of an open source application designed from the ground up to meet the needs of non-profits and other civic sector organizations was pretty radical. We were convinced that there...
