SEAD: Secure Efficient Distance Vector Routing for Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

by Yih-Chun Hu, David B. Johnson, Adrian Perrig , 2003
"... An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless computers (nodes), communicating among themselves over possibly multihop paths, without the help of any infrastructure such as base stations or access points. Although many previous ad hoc network routing protocols have been based in part on distance vec ..."

Information-theoretic metric learning

by Jason Davis, Brian Kulis, Suvrit Sra, Inderjit Dhillon - in NIPS 2006 Workshop on Learning to Compare Examples , 2007
"... We formulate the metric learning problem as that of minimizing the differential relative entropy between two multivariate Gaussians under constraints on the Mahalanobis distance function. Via a surprising equivalence, we show that this problem can be solved as a low-rank kernel learning problem. Spe ..."

Locally weighted learning

by Christopher G. Atkeson, Andrew W. Moore , Stefan Schaal - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REVIEW , 1997
"... This paper surveys locally weighted learning, a form of lazy learning and memorybased learning, and focuses on locally weighted linear regression. The survey discusses distance functions, smoothing parameters, weighting functions, local model structures, regularization of the estimates and bias, ass ..."

A volumetric method for building complex models from range images,”

by Brian Curless , Marc Levoy - in Proceedings of the 23rd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques. ACM, , 1996
"... Abstract A number of techniques have been developed for reconstructing surfaces by integrating groups of aligned range images. A desirable set of properties for such algorithms includes: incremental updating, representation of directional uncertainty, the ability to fill gaps in the reconstruction, ..."

, and robustness in the presence of outliers. Prior algorithms possess subsets of these properties. In this paper, we present a volumetric method for integrating range images that possesses all of these properties. Our volumetric representation consists of a cumulative weighted signed distance function. Working

Fastmap: A fast algorithm for indexing, data-mining and visualization of traditional and multimedia datasets

by Christos Faloutsos, King-Ip (David) Lin , 1995
"... A very promising idea for fast searching in traditional and multimedia databases is to map objects into points in k-d space, using k feature-extraction functions, provided by a domain expert [Jag91]. Thus, we can subsequently use highly fine-tuned spatial access methods (SAMs), to answer several ..."

Features of similarity.

by Amos Tversky - Psychological Review , 1977
"... Similarity plays a fundamental role in theories of knowledge and behavior. It serves as an organizing principle by which individuals classify objects, form concepts, and make generalizations. Indeed, the concept of similarity is ubiquitous in psychological theory. It underlies the accounts of stimu ..."

tree-like structures rather than dimensionally organized spaces. However, most theoretical and empirical analyses of similarity assume that objects can be adequately represented as points in some coordinate space and that dissimilarity behaves like a metric distance function. Both dimensional

M-tree: An Efficient Access Method for Similarity Search in Metric Spaces

by Paolo Ciaccia, Marco Patella, Pavel Zezula , 1997
"... A new access meth d, called M-tree, is proposed to organize and search large data sets from a generic "metric space", i.e. whE4 object proximity is only defined by a distance function satisfyingth positivity, symmetry, and triangle inequality postulates. We detail algorith[ for insertion o ..."

Muscle: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput

by Robert C. Edgar - NUCLEIC ACIDS RES , 2004

Dynamic programming algorithm optimization for spoken word recognition

Graphs over Time: Densification Laws, Shrinking Diameters and Possible Explanations

by Jure Leskovec, Jon Kleinberg, Christos Faloutsos , 2005
"... How do real graphs evolve over time? What are “normal” growth patterns in social, technological, and information networks? Many studies have discovered patterns in static graphs, identifying properties in a single snapshot of a large network, or in a very small number of snapshots; these include hea ..."

, and we observe some surprising phenomena. First, most of these graphs densify over time, with the number of edges growing superlinearly in the number of nodes. Second, the average distance between nodes often shrinks over time, in contrast to the conventional wisdom that such distance parameters should
