Zainab AlMeraj	Title : Towards informative similarity metrics for geometric arrangements Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss ways in which we can approach the problem of judging similarity between geometric (vector) arrangements. This includes gathering a dataset of ground truth arrangements, and a summary of effective quantitative metrics that can aid in acquiring an automatic similarity decision between arrangements.
