Dissimilarity Measures For Unconstrained Sorting Data.

نویسنده

  • M L Burton
چکیده

In this article, three dissimilarity measures for the unconstrained sorting task are investigated. All three measures are metrics, but they differ in the kind of compensation which they make for differences in the sizes of cells within sortings. Empirical tests of the three measures are done with sorting data for occupations names and the names of behaviors, using the multidimensional scaling method.

Signature Matching in Document Image Retrieval

Document image retrieval is a method used for searching through unsorted images of documents to find the ones which are relevant for a given task. One way to do this is by sorting the documents according to their corresponding author. For documents that contain handwritten signatures this can be done using signature matching techniques. This thesis therefore presents a signature retrieval syste...

On Data-Independent Properties for Density-Based Dissimilarity Measures in Hybrid Clustering

Hybrid clustering combines partitional and hierarchical clustering for computational effectiveness and versatility in cluster shape. In such clustering, a dissimilarity measure plays a crucial role in the hierarchical merging. The dissimilarity measure has great impact on the final clustering, and data-independent properties are needed to choose the right dissimilarity measure for the problem a...

Common Dissimilarity Measures are Inappropriate for Time Series Clustering

Clustering algorithms have been actively used to identify similar time series, providing a better understanding of data. However, common clustering dissimilarity measures disregard time series correlations, yielding poor results. In this paper, we introduce a dissimilarity measure based on series partial autocorrelations. Experiments compare hierarchical clustering algorithms using the common d...

A comprehensive experimental comparison of the aggregation techniques for face recognition

In face recognition, one of the most important problems to tackle is a large amount of data and the redundancy of information contained in facial images. There are numerous approaches attempting to reduce this redundancy. One of them is information aggregation based on the results of classifiers built on selected facial areas being the most salient regions from the point of view of classificati...

A family of functional dissimilarity measures for presence and absence data

Plot-to-plot dissimilarity measures are considered a valuable tool for understanding the complex ecological mechanisms that drive community composition. Traditional presence/absence coefficients are usually based on different combinations of the matching/mismatching components of the 2 × 2 contingency table. However, more recently, dissimilarity measures that incorporate information about the d...
