We describe ongoing work in the experi mental evaluation of a range of methods for measuring the phonetic distance be tween the dialectal variants of pronuncia tions All are variants of Levenshtein dis tance both simple based on atomic char acters and complex based on feature vec tors The measurements using feature vec tors varied according to whether city block distance Euclidean distance or a...

Resource discovery in a Grid environment is a critical problem and also a fundamental task which provides searching and locating necessary resources for given processes. Based on the domain and resource routing nodes, a grid resource discovery model of multilayer overlay network is given in this paper. And on this basis, using a linear combination of the block distance and chessboard distance i...

The two dimensional bandwidth problem under the distances of L∞-norm and L1-norm has only been studied for a limited number of graphs. In this paper, I analyze the two dimensional bandwidth for a few different families of graphs.

This paper examines the relationship between road directions and the rectilinear distance in regular point patterns. We derive the distributions of the rectilinear distances to the nearest and the second nearest points in rotated regular point patterns. These distributions demonstrate that road directions significantly affect the rectilinear distances. As an application of the nearest and the s...

In recent years, the research cluster of objective interestingness measures has rapidly developed in order to assist users to choose the appropriate measure for their application. Researchers in this field mainly focus on three main directions: clustering based on the properties of the measures, clustering based on the behavior of measures and clustering tendency of variation in statistical imp...

In this paper a range of methods for measuring the phonetic distance between dialectal variants are described. It concerns variants of the frequency method, the frequency per word method and Levensh-tein distance, both simple (based on atomic characters) and complex (based on feature bundles). The measurements between feature bundles used Manhattan distance, Euclidean distance or (a measure usi...

We compare the statistical analysis of indicator matrices and Burt tables by correspondence analysis (CA) and taxicab correspondence analysis (TCA). There are two new results in this paper. First, TCA of a Burt table corresponds to a particular kind of CA of the indicator matrix based on the centroid decomposition. Second, the response patterns in multiple TCA will be represented as (number of ...
