Database queries are often exploratory and users often find their queries return too many answers, many of them irrelevant. Existing work either categorizes or ranks the results t...
We consider a fundamental flow maximization problem that arises during the evaluation of multiple overlapping queries defined on a data stream, in a heterogenous parallel environm...
Learning semantics from annotated images to enhance content-based retrieval is an important research direction. In this paper, annotation data are assumed available for only a sub...
Subgroup discovery aims at finding subsets of a population whose class distribution is significantly different from the overall distribution. It has previously predominantly been...
We define a new interactive differentially private mechanism — the median mechanism — for answering arbitrary predicate queries that arrive online. Given fixed accuracy and...
