The document summarizes two papers presented at NIPS 2010:
1) "b-Bit Minwise Hashing for Estimating Three-Way Similarities" which introduces a method called b-bit minwise hashing to estimate Jaccard similarity between three sets using only b bits per element.
2) "Functional Geometry Alignment and Localization of Brain Areas" which presents a method called functional geometry alignment to register brain images based on functional data like fMRI rather than just anatomical data. It uses diffusion maps to embed voxel activities in a low-dimensional space and aligns these functional embeddings for registration.
