In 2016,one decade after the publication of our Dictionary of Distances, the number of WWW entries offered by Google on the topics “distance” and “distance metric” has grown from 300 million (about 4% of all entries) and 12 million to 1:35 billion (about 5:4% of all entries) and 114 million.
This fourth edition is characterized by updated and rewritten sections on some items suggested by experts and readers, as well as a general streamlining of content and the addition of essential new topics.
Though the structure remains unchanged, the new edition also explores recent advances in the use of distances and metrics for, e.g., generalized distances, probability theory, graph theory, coding theory, data analysis.
