Given a set of N multi-dimensional points, we study the computation of -quantiles according to a ranking function F, which is provided by the user at runtime. Specifically, F compu...
The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
In this paper, we introduce an information theoretic method for estimating the usefulness of the hyperlink structure induced from the set of retrieved documents. We evaluate the e...
We address the problem of efficient structure from motion for large, unordered, highly redundant, and irregularly sampled photo collections, such as those found on Internet photo-...
Background: The analysis of Inter-Alu PCR patterns obtained from human genomic DNA samples is a promising technique for a simultaneous analysis of many genomic loci flanked by Alu...
