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.

Server-Friendly Delta Compression for Efficient Web Access.

TL;DR: This work studies web and proxy server-friendly policies that do not require the maintenance of multiple older versions of a page, but only use reference files accessed by the client within the last few minutes, and shows that there are very simple policies that achieve significant benefits over gzip compression on most web accesses, and that can be efficiently implemented at web or proxy servers.

Delta compression of probabilistically clustered chunks of data

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and information handling system (IHS) for performing delta compression on probabilistically clustered chunks of data is described. But the method is not suitable for large data sets.

Document ranking using web evidence

TL;DR: How web evidence can be used to improve retrieval effectiveness for navigational search tasks is demonstrated, with a linear combination of the two types of evidence found to be particularly effective, achieving the highest retrieval effectiveness of any query-dependent evidence on navigational and Topic Distillation tasks.

Min-Wise Independent Permutations

TL;DR: This research was motivated by the fact that such a family of permutations is essential to the algorithm used in practice by the AltaVista web index software to detect and filter near-duplicate documents.

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).
