Using earth mover’s distance for viral outbreak investigations [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background RNA viruses mutate at extremely high rates, forming an intra-host viral population of closely related variants, which allows them to evade the host’s immune system and makes them particularly dangerous.

Visual Tracking Using Sparse Coding and Earth Mover's Distance [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018 An efficient iterative Earth Mover's Distance (iEMD) algorithm for visual tracking is proposed in this paper. The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) is used as the similarity measure to search for the optimal template candidates in feature-spatial space in a ...

A Spike Train Distance Robust to Firing Rate Changes Based on the Earth Mover’s Distance [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2019 Neural spike train analysis methods are mainly used for understanding the temporal aspects of neural information processing. One approach is to measure the dissimilarity between the spike trains of a pair of neurons, often referred to as the spike train ...
