The ability to flexibly compose confidence computation with the operations of relational algebra is an important feature of probabilistic database query languages. Computing confi...
This paper focuses on question selection methods for conversational recommender systems. We consider a scenario, where given an initial user query, the recommender system may ask ...
materialized view selection is a non-trivial task. Hence, its complexity must be reduced. A judicious choice of views must be costdriven and influenced by the workload experienced...
We study the problem of context-sensitive ranking for document retrieval, where a context is defined as a sub-collection of documents, and is specified by queries provided by do...
The queries defined on data warehouses are complex and use several join operations that induce an expensive computational cost. This cost becomes even more prohibitive when querie...
