First a "thank you" to all (over 50) of the respondents to my initial call for information/participation on the area of measuring similarity, describing similarity, etc. I have just about completed a questionnaire which will be going to all of the respondents, and another 150 researchers in the fields of CBR, EBL, Machine Learning, Psychology, Information Retrieval, Behavior ... etc. In the questionnaire I lay out my objectives, background, and approach. Also, the survey results will be written up as a report to DARPA, so it is very important that I understand and represent accurately the systems, approaches, domains etc. where similarity issues are of importance. Thank you.
