Given a dataset P and a preference function f, a top-k query retrieves the k tuples in P with the highest scores according to f. Even though the problem is well-studied in convent...
Vector quantization (VQ) is an efficient coding algorithm due to its fast decoding efficiency. Indices of VQ will be lost during the transmission because of the signal interferenc...
The availability of indoor positioning renders it possible to deploy location-based services in indoor spaces. Many such services will benefit from the efficient support for k n...
