The Normalized Similarity Metric and Its Applications
Pages 172 - 180
Abstract
Similarity metric is important in many applications. In some applications, it is desirable to normalize the similar- ity metric so as to yield a more meaningful insight of the situation, for example, in comparison of long genomic se- quences and comparative gene prediction. In extending the content of a previous work involving formal definition of the concept known as similarity, we give new formulas for normalizing similarity metrics which satisfy the formal defi- nition of the normalized similarity metric. We also describe how these formulas may be utilized in an appropriate ap- plication domain in which the use of normalized similarity metric is desirable.

On the similarity metric and the distance metric
Similarity and dissimilarity measures are widely used in many research areas and applications. When a dissimilarity measure is used, it is normally required to be a distance metric. However, when a similarity measure is used, there is no formal ...
Similarity Between Points in Metric Measure Spaces
Similarity Search and ApplicationsAbstractThis paper is about similarity between objects that can be represented as points in metric measure spaces. A metric measure space is a metric space that is also equipped with a measure. For example, a network with distances between its nodes and ...
Transfer non-metric measures into metric for similarity search
MM '09: Proceedings of the 17th ACM international conference on MultimediaSimilarity search is widely used in multimedia retrieval systems to find the most similar ones for a given object. Some similarity measures, however, are not metric, leading to existing metric index structures cannot be directly used. To address this ...
