Database queries are often exploratory and users often find their queries return too many answers, many of them irrelevant. Existing work either categorizes or ranks the results t...
In many real-world applications, data cannot be accurately represented by vectors. In those situations, one possible solution is to rely on dissimilarity measures that enable a se...
Background: Expressed sequence tag (EST) collections are composed of a high number of single-pass, redundant, partial sequences, which need to be processed, clustered, and annotat...
Indexing moving objects is a fundamental issue in spatiotemporal databases. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Lazy-Update Grid-based index (LUGrid, for short) that minimizes th...
- This paper presents a novel power management techniques based on enhanced Q-learning algorithms. By exploiting the submodularity and monotonic structure in the cost function of a...
