In this paper, we describe the TIMBER XML database system implemented at University of Michigan. TIMBER was one of the first native XML database systems, designed from the ground ...
We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
Neighbor search is a fundamental task in machine learning, especially in classification and retrieval. Efficient nearest neighbor search methods have been widely studied, with the...
It is desirable to store data on data storage servers such as mail servers and file servers in encrypted form to reduce security and privacy risks. But this usually implies that ...
: Simplifying data programming is a core mission of data management research. The issue at stake is to help engineers build efficient and robust data-centric applications. The fron...
