Learning graphical models with hidden variables can offer semantic insights to complex data and lead to salient structured predictors without relying on expensive, sometime unatta...
The join operation, which combines tuples from multiple relations, is the most fundamental and, typically, the most expensive operation in database queries. The standard approach t...

Selectivity estimation is an important step of query optimization in a database management system, and multidimensional histogram techniques have proved promising for selectivity ...
To retrieve similar database videos to a query clip, each video is typically represented by a sequence of highdimensional feature vectors. Given a query video containing m feature...
