The first aim of this paper is to extend the fuzzy similarity relation defined in the generalized Łukasiewicz structure to utilize common and cumulative Minkowsky metrics and introduce a new classifier based on the cumulative similarity measure which uses the Minkowsky metrics in the generalized Łukasiewicz structure. The second aim of this paper is to study properties of this classifier when a...

Node similarity is a significant property driving the growth of real networks. In this paper, based on the observed spreading results we apply the node similarity metrics to reconstruct propagation networks. We find that the reconstruction accuracy of the similarity metrics is strongly influenced by the infection rate of the spreading process. Moreover, there is a range of infection rate in whi...

We propose an approach to Japanese predicate argument structure analysis exploiting argument position and type. In particular, we propose the following two methods. First, in order to use information in the sentences in preceding context of the predicate more effectively, we propose an improved similarity measure between argument positions which is more robust than a previous co-reference-based...

This paper describes the evolution of our method Encoplot for automatic plagiarism detection and the results of the participation to the PAN’11 competition. The main novelties are the introduction of a new similarity measure and of a new ranking method, which cooperate to rank much better the source– suspicious document pairs when selecting the candidates for the detailed analysis phase. We hav...

Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s theory employed a tree in a representation of internal structure of music. In order for us to claim that such a tree is a consistent and stable representation, we argue that the difference of trees should correctly reflect our coginitive similarity of music. We report our experimental result concerning the comparison of similarity among variations on Ah vous dirai-je, m...

a test shows that all similarity matching measures are implemented correctly.

This paper describes an empirical approach to evaluating similarity measures for the comparision of two note sequences or melodies. In the first sections the experimental approach and the empirical results of previous studies on melodic similarity are reported. In the discussion section several questions are raised that concern the nature of similarity or distance measures for melodies and musi...
