    Call For Papers - CFP

    Similarity Search is an active area of research with large advances in numeric space similarity search over the last two decades. However, many real world applications deal with complex objects that have attributes of many different types - numeric, string, categorical, set valued etc. The prevalence of large amounts of non-numeric data necessitates designing of new similarity measures, indexing techniques and querying techniques. This includes addressing the challenge of efficiently performing similarity search on various attribute types leveraging different kinds of index structures. In this workshop, we seek papers addressing novel problems that arise in real world applications of similarity search.

    Specific topics of interest include (but are in no way, limited to)

    Similarity Measures

    Similarity Measures for heterogeneous attribute types (e.g., set values, numeric, string, categorical, time series etc.)

    Similarity Measures that lead to metric spaces, arbitrary metric spaces, non-metric or (dis)similarity spaces

    Learning of similarity Measures (e.g., using partially specified supervised information, relevance feedback, active learning etc.)

    Aggregation of attribute similarities to object similarities (e.g., weighted sum type monotonic aggregates, and non-monotonic aggregates)

    Indexing for Similarity Search

    Indexes for various similarity measures and aggregation functions

    Indexes for handling heterogeneous attributes (e.g., certain objects could have a combination of numeric, categorical, string and set-valued attributes)

    Indexing for various similarity operators

    Queries for Similarity Search

    Top-k, Skyline, Reverse kNN, Reverse Skyline, Range Queries

    Other novel operators for Similarity Search

    Complex Similarity Queries

    Approximate Similarity Search

    Scalability (dataset size, number of dimensions etc.) and Performance Studies

    Clustering for Similarity Search

    Practical Experiences

    \Similarity Search in Relational Database Systems

    Leveraging traditional SQL style queries for Similarity Search

    Distributed and Parallel Similarity Search

    Novel and Domain-Specific Applications of Similarity Search
