A Basic Approach to Pattern Recognition
Julian R. Ullmann · The Computer Journal · 1965
In looking for a plausible alternative to the representation of pattern similarity by a metric, there are two main problems. The first is to find a ranking of patterns in order of a similarity, and the second is to store this ranking economically. This paper deals only with the second of these problems, by means of a successive approximation technique which has been tested by computer simulation.
