Continuous probabilistic nearest-neighbor queries for uncertain trajectories
This work addresses the problem of processing continuous nearest neighbor (NN ) queries for moving objects trajectories when the exact position of a given object at a particular t...

Probabilistic question answering on the web
Web-based search engines such as Google and NorthernLight return documents that are relevant to a user query, not answers to user questions. We have developed an architecture that...

Matching Twigs in Probabilistic XML
Evaluation of twig queries over probabilistic XML is investigated. Projection is allowed and, in particular, a query may be Boolean. It is shown that for a well-known model of pro...

Probabilistic Ranking of Database Query Results
We investigate the problem of ranking answers to a database query when many tuples are returned. We adapt and apply principles of probabilistic models from Information Retrieval f...

Evaluating Probabilistic Queries over Imprecise Data
Many applications employ sensors for monitoring entities such as temperature and wind speed. A centralized database tracks these entities to enable query processing. Due to contin...
