abstraction for modeling these problems is to view the Web as a collection of (usually small and heterogeneous) databases, and to view programs that extract and process Web data au...
We present a comprehensive strategy for evaluating image retrieval algorithms. Because automated image retrieval is only meaningful in its service to people, performance character...
Supervised learning uses a training set of labeled examples to compute a classifier which is a mapping from feature vectors to class labels. The success of a learning algorithm i...
A definition of types in an information system is given from ld abstractions through data constructs, schema and definitions to physical data values. Category theory suggests tha...
In this work, we consider augmenting SQL with constructs allowing dynamic restructuring. Dynamic restructuring occurs naturally in a framework including second-order capabilities f...
