We introduce the discrete Fr\'echet gap and its variants as an alternative measure of similarity between polygonal curves. We believe that for some applications the new measure (and its variants) may better reflect our intuitive notion of…

We study the shortcut Fr\'{e}chet distance, a natural variant of the Fr\'{e}chet distance, that allows us to take shortcuts from and to any point along one of the curves. The classic Fr\'echet distance is a bottle-neck distance measure and…

The Fr\'echet distance is a commonly used distance measure for curves. Computing the Fr\'echet distance between two polygonal curves of $n$ vertices takes roughly quadratic time, and conditional lower bounds suggest that approximating to…

Fitting linear regression models can be computationally very expensive in large-scale data analysis tasks if the sample size and the number of variables are very large. Random projections are extensively used as a dimension reduction tool…

We show that a variant of the continuous Frechet distance between polygonal curves can be computed using essentially the same algorithm used to solve the discrete version. The new variant is not necessarily monotone, but this shortcoming…

The Fr\'echet distance is a popular distance measure between trajectories or curves in space, or between walks in graphs. We study computing the Fr\'echet distance between walks in the $d$-dimensional grid graphs, i.e. $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where…

Random projections are random linear maps, sampled from appropriate distributions, that approx- imately preserve certain geometrical invariants so that the approximation improves as the dimension of the space grows. The well-known…

Fr\'echet regression has received considerable attention to model metric-space valued responses that are complex and non-Euclidean data, such as probability distributions and vectors on the unit sphere. However, existing Fr\'echet…

Let $m$ and $n$ be the numbers of vertices of two polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any fixed $d$ such that $m \leq n$. Since it was known in 1995 how to compute the Fr\'{e}chet distance of these two curves in $O(mn\log (mn))$ time, it…

Dynamic Time Warping is arguably the most popular similarity measure for time series, where we define a time series to be a one-dimensional polygonal curve. The drawback of Dynamic Time Warping is that it is sensitive to the sampling rate…

We study the Fr\'echet queries problem. It is a data structure problem, where we are given a set $S$ of $n$ polygonal curves and a distance threshold $\rho$. The data structure should support queries with a polygonal curve $q$ for the…

We study the $c$-approximate near neighbor problem under the continuous Fr\'echet distance: Given a set of $n$ polygonal curves with $m$ vertices, a radius $\delta > 0$, and a parameter $k \leq m$, we want to preprocess the curves into a…

The Fr\'echet distance is a popular distance measure for curves. We study the problem of clustering time series under the Fr\'echet distance. In particular, we give $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithms for variations of the following…

The Frechet distance is a metric to compare two curves, which is based on monotonous matchings between these curves. We call a matching that results in the Frechet distance a Frechet matching. There are often many different Frechet…
