Recent work has demonstrated the effectiveness of the wavelet decomposition in reducing large amounts of data to compact sets of wavelet coefficients (termed "wavelet synopse...
Discriminative approaches to human pose inference involve mapping visual observations to articulated body configurations. Current probabilistic approaches to learn this mapping ha...
Edit distance based string similarity join is a fundamental operator in string databases. Increasingly, many applications in data cleaning, data integration, and scientific compu...
The ability to flexibly compose confidence computation with the operations of relational algebra is an important feature of probabilistic database query languages. Computing confi...
Statistical estimation and approximate query processing have become increasingly prevalent applications for database systems. However, approximation is usually of little use witho...
