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.

An Indexing Scheme and Descriptor for 3D Object Retrieval Based on Local Shape Querying

TL;DR: A binary descriptor indexing scheme based on Hamming distance called the Hamming tree for local shape queries is presented and a new binary clutter resistant descriptor named Quick Intersection Count Change Image (QUICCI) is introduced.

Document plagiarism detection algorithm using semantic networks

Ahmed Muftah, +1 more
TL;DR: An algorithm for plagiarism detection over the Web using semantic networks is proposed and results show that an appropriate semantic representation of sentences derived from WordNet’s relations outperforms N-grams with different similarity measures in detecting the plagiarized sentences.

Scalable Private Set Intersection Cardinality for Capture-Recapture with Multiple Private Datasets

TL;DR: This work proposes an improved technique based on commutative encryption and deterministic hash-based sampling that is secure and scalable, and also prevents so-called probing attacks.

Syntactic clustering of the Web

TL;DR: An efficient way to determine the syntactic similarity of files is developed and applied to every document on the World Wide Web, and a clustering of all the documents that are syntactically similar is built.

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).
