I have added a new section for similarity and case-based reasoning into the literature page to link to some interesting work of Armin Stahl and Thomas Gabel.

A college pointed my to a paper from KDD 2002 called SimRank: A Measure of Structural-Context Similarity. It describes an inter-instance similarity measure that measures similarity of the structural (graph-based) context in which instances occur, based on their relationships with other instances. In other words, such instances are assumed to be similar if they are related to similar instances and so on…
I also added the paper to the literature list.

I have added a new section to the literature list about papers related to the role of similarity in Web 2.0. The papers deal with the role of inter-user similarity to improve trust rating in social networks.

The Categories and Concepts course given in 2003 at the psychology department of University of Texas at Austin by Bradley Love and Jody Hendrix contains a list (and download links) of selected core readings for people interested in concepts & categories but also in the role of similarity.

The Department of Informatics at the University of Zurich has developed a similarity measurement toolkit called SimPack. Until now, it supports the following measurement approaches:

• feature vectors
• strings or sequences of strings
• trees and graphs
• information theory

The project is developed in Java and available (together with the Javadoc API) at: http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/ddis/simpack.html
