The state of the art commercial query optimizers employ cost-based optimization and exploit dynamic programming (DP) to find the optimal query execution plan (QEP) without evalua...
Incorrect thread synchronization often leads to concurrency bugs that manifest nondeterministically and are difficult to detect and fix. Past work on detecting concurrency bugs ...
Reinforcement learning promises a generic method for adapting agents to arbitrary tasks in arbitrary stochastic environments, but applying it to new real-world problems remains di...
As part of the Illinois Digital Library Initiative (DLI) project we developed “scalable semantics” technologies. These statistical techniques enabled us to index large collect...
