Learning semantics from annotated images to enhance content-based retrieval is an important research direction. In this paper, annotation data are assumed available for only a sub...
Humans tend to use high-level semantic concepts when querying and browsing multimedia databases; there is thus, a need for systems that extract these concepts and make available a...
Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
Automated extraction of structured data from Web sources often leads to large heterogeneous knowledge bases (KB), with data and schema items numbering in the hundreds of thousands...
Large databases with uncertain information are becoming more common in many applications including data integration, location tracking, and Web search. In these applications, ranki...
