A General Model for Similarity Measurement between Objects

Abstract

Abstract-The problem to detect the similarity or the difference between objects are faced regularly in several domains of applications such as e-commerce, social network, expert system, data mining, decision support system, etc. This paper introduces a general model for measuring the similarity between objects based on their attributes. In this model, the similarity on each attribute is defined with different natures and kinds of attributes. This makes our model is general and enables to apply the model in several domains of application. We also present the applying of the model into two applications in social network and e-commerce situations.
