A modified edge detection algorithm has been presented here that uses logarithmic transform and Hyperbolic Tangent (HBT) filter. The proposed algorithm incorporates Logarithmic transform along with Luminance and Contrast-Invariant Edge Similarity Measure algorithm for edge detection. The proposed algorithm gives a good quality edge detection of images with improved SSIM value and almost equal o...

The goal of graph clustering is to partition vertices in a large graph into different clusters based on various criteria such as vertex connectivity or neighborhood similarity. Graph clustering techniques are very useful for detecting densely connected groups in a large graph. Many existing graph clustering methods mainly focus on the topological structure for clustering, but largely ignore the...

A challenging issue to web services interoperability is seamless data exchanges between web services to be composed. A solution to this problem is to establish semantic mappings from an information item to another. To do that, we present an approximate information mapping analysis. We propose a kernel-based structural similarity measure for XML documents. Simulation results with industrial XML ...

The relationship between sequence similarity and structural similarity has been examined in 36 protein families with five or more diverse members whose structures are known. The structural similarity within a family (as determined with the DALI structure comparison program) is linearly related to sequence similarity (as determined by a Smith-Waterman search of the protein sequences in the struc...

We present a new iterative algorithm for ontology mapping where we combine standard string distance metrics with a structural similarity measure that is based on a vector representation. After all pairwise similarities between concepts have been calculated we apply well-known graph algorithms to obtain an optimal matching. Our algorithm is also capable of using existing mappings to a third onto...

The ability to recognize analogies is an important factor that is closely related to human intelligence. Verbal analogies have been used for evaluating both examinees at university entrance exams as well as algorithms for measuring relational similarity. However, relational similarity measures proposed so far are confined to measuring the similarity between pairs of words. Unfortunately, such p...

several methods have been suggested for Ontology Alignment problem, each exploits some measures and uses of their combinations in order to come up with higher quality of alignment. A group of such measures are especially based on structural position of the entities in ontologies, the corresponding measures of which are named Structural Measures. This paper is about to present a new method for c...

This paper presents a statistical model for measuring structural similarity between webpages from bilingual websites. Starting from basic assumptions we derive the model and propose an algorithm to estimate its parameters in unsupervised manner. Statistical approach appears to benefit the structural similarity measure: in the task of distinguishing parallel webpages from bilingual websites our ...
