Recent developments in techniques for modeling, digitizing and visualizing 3D shapes has
led to an explosion in the number of available 3D models on the Internet and in domain …

The increasing availability of music in digital format needs to be matched by the
development of tools for music accessing, filtering, classification, and retrieval. The research …

Weighted graph matching is a good way to align a pair of shapes represented by a set of
descriptive local features; the set of correspondences produced by the minimum cost …

Due to the recent improvements in laser scanning technology, 3D visualization and
modeling, there is an increasing need for tools supporting the automatic search for 3D …

Most of the existing methods for measuring melodic similarity use one-dimensional textual
representations of music notation, so that melodic similarity can be measured by calculating …

The task of similarity search is widely used in various areas of computing, including
multimedia databases, data mining, bioinformatics, social networks, etc. In fact, retrieval of …

Michael Kassler mentioned the term “Musical Information Retrieval”(MIR) as early as 1966
[31]. He describes an assembler-like programming language called MIR which can be used …

In the geometric transportation problem, we are given a collection of points $ P $ in $ d $-
dimensional Euclidean space, and each point is given a supply of $\mu (p) $ units of mass …

We present a method for searching databases of symbolically represented polyphonic music
that exploits advantages of transportation distances such as continuity and partial matching …

The geometric transportation problem takes as input a set of points $ P $ in $ d $-
dimensional Euclidean space and a supply function $\mu: P\to\mathbb {R} $. The goal is to …
