—Existing methods for spatial joins require pre-existing spatial indices or other precomputation, but such approaches are inefficient and limited in generality. Operand data sets...
This paper has no novel learning or statistics: it is concerned with making a wide class of preexisting statistics and learning algorithms computationally tractable when faced wit...
We show that a popular variant of the well known k-d tree data structure satisfies an important packing lemma. This variant is a binary spatial partitioning tree T defined on a set...

Recent advances in GPU programmability and architecture have allowed for the generation of ray casted or ray traced images at interactive rates. How quickly these images can be ge...
: Traditional spatial indexes like R-tree usually assume the database is not updated frequently. In applications like location-based services and sensor networks, this assumption i...
