Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Similarity functions are not distances, but functions aimed to evaluate the similarity between two objects. Some of them relate to some other previously explained measures, such as cosine distance. Others are statistical or probabilistic, or rely on fuzzy logic. It has not been possible to provide a comprehensive table with recognition rates, as the data were to different to be compared.
