Abstract
Given two documents A and B we define two mathematical notions: their resemblance r(A, B) and their containment c(A, B) that seem to capture well the informal notions of "roughly the same" and "roughly contained." The basic idea is to reduce these issues to set intersection problems that can be easily evaluated by a process of random sampling that can be done independently for each document. Furthermore, the resemblance can be evaluated using a fixed size sample for each document. This paper discusses the mathematical properties of these measures and the efficient implementation of the sampling process using Rabin (1981) fingerprints.

A novel Arabic OCR post-processing using rule-based and word context techniques

TL;DR: This paper provides a statistical Arabic language model and post-processing techniques based on hybridizing the error model approach with the context approach and shows that the proposed hybrid system outperforms the rule-based system.

Locality-Sensitive Hashing Scheme based on Longest Circular Co-Substring

TL;DR: The experimental results demonstrate that LCCS-LSH outperforms state-of-the-art LSH schemes and is proposed as a novel LSH scheme based on the Longest Circular Co-Substring (LCCS) search framework with a theoretical guarantee.

Asymmetric signature schemes for efficient exact edit similarity query processing

TL;DR: This article shows that for any signature scheme, the lower bound of the minimum number of signatures is τ + 1, which is lower than what is achieved by existing methods, and proposes several asymmetric signature schemes, that is, extracting different numbers of signatures for the data and query strings, which achieve this lower bound.

Palmprint template protection scheme based on randomized cuckoo hashing and MinHash

TL;DR: A novel template protection method for generating cancelable palmprint features based on randomized cuckoo hashing and minHash and another layer of privacy protection, MinHash is adopted to improve the efficiency and resist unlinkability attacks.

Copy detection mechanisms for digital documents

TL;DR: This paper proposes a system for registering documents and then detecting copies, either complete copies or partial copies, and describes algorithms for such detection, and metrics required for evaluating detection mechanisms (covering accuracy, efficiency, and security).
