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.

PRESIDIO: A Framework for Efficient Archival Data Storage

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present PRESIDIO, a framework that selects from different space-reduction efficent storage methods (ESMs) to detect similarity and reduce or eliminate redundancy when storing objects.

R 2 SDH: Robust Rotated Supervised Discrete Hashing

TL;DR: In R 2 SDH, correntropy is adopted to replace the least square regression (LSR) model in SDH for achieving better robustness, and rotation is integrated into the original zero-one label matrix used inSDH, as additional freedom to promote flexibility without sacrificing accuracy.

Cross-Pair Text Representations for Answer Sentence Selection.

TL;DR: This paper compute scalar products between vectors representing similarity between members of different pairs, in place of simply using a single vector for each pair, to obtain a representation specific to any pair of pairs, which delivers the state of the art in answer sentence selection.

PanACoTA: A modular tool for massive microbial comparative genomics

TL;DR: PanACoTa is an interesting addition to the current set of comparative genomics tools, since it will accelerate and standardize the more routine parts of the work, allowing microbial genomicists to more quickly tackle their specific questions.

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).
