Approximate queries on a collection of strings are important in many applications such as record linkage, spell checking, and Web search, where inconsistencies and errors exist in...
Similarity joins in databases can be used for several important tasks such as data cleaning and instance-based data integration. In this paper, we explore ways how to support such ...
This paper introduces support envelopes--a new tool for analyzing association patterns--and illustrates some of their properties, applications, and possible extensions. Specifical...
An approximate search query on a collection of strings finds those strings in the collection that are similar to a given query string, where similarity is defined using a given si...
In many non trivial application domains, object types with a complex structure occur. Data modelling techniques which only allow flat structures are not suitable for representing ...
