Funded Activity Summary

Development and Application of Techniques for Detecting Equivalent Documents. The web is a vast collection of data, such as text and images, but contains large numbers of duplicates - the same document or picture may be present many times. Even personal collections of information, such as the documents and digital photos people keep on their home computers, often have many versions of the same item. However, detecting such duplicates is not straightforward, as they may have been edited, or may, for example, be shown in different forms; for example, the quality of a photo may be reduced for display on a mobile phone. In this project we plan to detect such duplicates, and use the results to improve search and management of data.
