Query containment is a fundamental problem of databases. Given two queries q1 and q2, it asks whether the set of answers to q1 is included in the set of answers to q2 for any datab...
—This paper presents a new affine-invariant matching algorithm based on B-Spline modeling, which solves the problem of the nonuniqueness of B-Spline in curve matching. This metho...
Supermarkets lose millions of pounds every year through lost trading and stock wastage caused by the failure of refrigerated cabinets. Therefore, a huge commercial market exists fo...
Abstract We describe a method to approximate a segment of the intersection curve of two implicitly defined surfaces by a rational parametric curve. Starting from an initial soluti...
In this paper, we propose a model named Logical Markov Decision Processes with Negation for Relational Reinforcement Learning for applying Reinforcement Learning algorithms on the ...
