Text is a pervasive information type, and many applications require querying over text sources in addition to structured data. This paper studies the problem of query processing i...
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...
—We study the problem of clustering uncertain objects whose locations are described by probability density functions (pdf). We show that the UK-means algorithm, which generalises...
