: Simplifying data programming is a core mission of data management research. The issue at stake is to help engineers build efficient and robust data-centric applications. The fron...
This paper presents a practical technique to automatically compute approximations of polygonal representations of 3D objects. It is based on a previously developed model simplific...
One crucial issue in genetic programming (GP) is how to acquire promising building blocks efficiently. In this paper, we propose a GP method (called GPTM, GP with Tree Mining) whi...
An effective query optimizer finds a query plan that exploits the characteristics of the source data. In data integration, little is known in advance about sources' propertie...
Statistical modeling for content based retrieval is examined in the context of recent TREC Video benchmark exercise. The TREC Video exercise can be viewed as a test bed for evalua...
