In this paper, we propose a new strategy for optimizing the placement of bin boundaries to minimize the cost of query evaluation using bitmap indices with binning. For attributes ...
Previous research into the efficiency of text retrieval systems has dealt primarily with methods that consider inverted lists in sequence; these methods are known as term-at-a-tim...
The problem of finding the binomial population with the highest success probability is considered when the number of binomial populations is large. A new rigorous indifference zo...
Time series data is common in many settings including scientific and financial applications. In these applications, the amount of data is often very large. We seek to support pred...
Query substitution is an important problem in information retrieval. Much work focuses on how to find substitutes for any given query. In this paper, we study how to efficiently ...
