We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...
In this paper, we study novel Tree + IDREF data model for keyword search in XML. In this model, we propose novel Lowest Referred Ancestor (LRA) pair, Extended LRA (ELRA) pair and E...
This paper presents a new approach for merging prioritized knowledge bases in possibilistic logic. Our approach is semantically defined by a model-based merging operator in propo...
This paper studies the problem of statically determining upper bounds on the resource consumption of first-order functional programs. A previous work approached the problem with an...
Traditional image retrieval methods require a "query image" to initiate a search for members of an image category. However, when the image database is unstructured, and ...
