In previous papers we have proposed a graphical query language for expressing traversal recursions in labelled, directed graphs. A fundamental feature of the language is the use o...
In this paper, we present a novel semidefinite programming approach for multiple-instance learning. We first formulate the multipleinstance learning as a combinatorial maximum marg...
A popular approach in combinatorial optimization is to model problems as integer linear programs. Ideally, the relaxed linear program would have only integer solutions, which happ...
Multistage stochastic programs have applications in many areas and support policy makers in finding rational decisions that hedge against unforeseen negative events. In order to en...
The importance of temporal representation and reasoning is well known to the database community. Examples of such significance are the languages TSQL2 and its follow up, SQL/Tempo...
