Grouping problem with similarities between DNA sequences are studied. The similaritymeasure and the distance measure showed the complementary characteristics. Distance measure can be obtained by complementing similarity measure, and vice versa. Similarity measure is derived and proved. Usefulness of the proposed similarity measure is applied to grouping problem of 25 cockroach DNA sequences. By calculation of DNA similarity, 25 cockroaches are clustered by four groups, and the results are compared with the previous neighbor-joining method.

The set-based similar sequence matching method measures similarity not for an individual data item but for a set grouping multiple data items. In the method, the similarity of two sets is represented as the size of intersection between them. However, there is a critical performances issue for the method in twofold: 1) calculating intersection size is a time consuming process, and 2) the number of set pairs that should be calculated the intersection size is quite large. In this paper, we propose an index-based search method for improving performance of set-based similar sequence matching in order to solve these performance issues. Our method consists of two parts. In the first part, we convert the set similarity problem into the intersection size comparison problem, and then, provide an index structure that accelerates the intersection size calculation. Second, we propose an efficient set-based similar sequence matching method which exploits the proposed index structure. Through experiments, we show that the proposed method reduces the execution time by 30 to 50 times then the existing methods. We also show that the proposed method has scalability since the performance gap becomes larger as the number of data sequences increases.

A sequence refers to data in which the order exists on the two items, and purchase transaction data in which the products purchased by one customer are listed is one of the representative sequence data. In general, all goods have a product taxonomy, such as category/ sub-category/ sub-sub category, and if they are similar to each other, they are classified into the same category according to their characteristics. Therefore, in this paper, we not only consider the purchase order of products to compare two purchase transaction sequences, but also calculate their similarity by giving a higher score if they are in the same category in spite of their difference. Especially, in order to choose the best similarity measure that directly affects the calculation performance of the purchase transaction sequences, we have compared the performance of three representative similarity measures, the Levenshtein distance, dynamic time warping distance, and the Needleman-Wunsch similarity. We have extended the existing methods to take into account the product taxonomy. For conventional similarity measures, the comparison of goods in two sequences is calculated by simply assigning a value of 0 or 1 according to whether or not the product is matched. However, the proposed method is subdivided to have a value between 0 and 1 using the product taxonomy tree to give a different degree of relevance between the two products, even if they are different products. Through experiments, we have confirmed that the proposed method was measured the similarity more accurately than the previous method. Furthermore, we have confirmed that dynamic time warping distance was the most suitable measure because it considered the degree of association of the product in the sequence and showed good performance for two sequences with different lengths.

Time series are comprehensively appeared and developed in many applications, ranging from science and technology to business and entertainrilent. Similarity search under time warping has attracted much interest between the time series in the large sequence databases. DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) is a robust distance measure and is superior to Euclidean distance for time series, allowing similarity matching although one of the sequences can elastic shift along the time axis. Nevertheless, it is more unfortunate that DTW has a quadratic time. Simultaneously the false dismissals are come forth since DTW distance does not satisfy the triangular inequality. In this paper, we propose an efficient range query algorithmbased on a new similarity search method under time warping. When our range query applies for this method, it can remove the significant non-qualify time series as early as possible before computing the accuracy DTW distance. Hence, it speeds up the calculation time and reduces the number of scanning the time series. Guaranteeing no false dismissals, the lower bounding function is advised that consistently underestimate the DTW distance and satisfy the triangular inequality. Through the experimental result, our range query algorithm outperforms the existing others.

Due to the development of video sharing platforms, the amount of video uploads is exploding. Such videos often include various types of music, among which cover songs are included. In order to protect the copyright of music, an algorithm to find the original song of the cover song is essential. However, it is not easy to find the original song because the cover song is a modification of the composition, speed and overall structure of the original song. So far, there is no known effective algorithm for searching the original song of the cover song. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for searching the original song of the cover song using the inflection points of the melody line. Inflection points represent the characteristic points of change in the melody sequence. The proposed algorithm compares the original song and the cover song using the sequence of inflection points for the representative phrase of the original song. Since the characteristics of the representative phrase are used, even if the cover song is a song made by modifying the overall composition of the song, the algorithm's search performance is excellent. Also, since the proposed algorithm uses only the features of the inflection point sequence, the memory usage is very low. The efficiency of the algorithm was verified through performance evaluation.
