In several application domains, such as sign language, medicine, and sensor networks, events are not necessarily instantaneous but they can have a time duration. Sequences of interval-based events may contain useful domain knowledge; thus, searching, indexing, and mining such sequences is crucial. We introduce two distance measures for comparing sequences of interval-based events which can be used for several data mining tasks such as classification and clustering. The first measure maps each sequence of interval-based events to a set of vectors that hold information about all concurrent events. These sets are then compared using an existing dynamic programming method. The second method, called
Artemis
, finds correspondence between intervals by mapping the two sequences into a bipartite graph. Similarity is inferred by employing the Hungarian algorithm. In addition, we present a linear-time lower-bound for
Artemis
. The performance of both measures is tested on data from three domains: sign language, medicine, and sensor networks. Experiments show the superiority of
Artemis
in terms of robustness to high levels of artificially introduced noise.
