On the similarity metric and the distance metric
Theoretical Computer Science, 2009 AbstractSimilarity and dissimilarity measures are widely used in many research areas and applications. When a dissimilarity measure is used, it is normally required to be a distance metric. However, when a similarity measure is used, there is no formal requirement. In this article, we have three contributions.
