In response to the widespread use of the XML format for document representation and message exchange, major database vendors support XML in terms of persistence, querying and inde...
Haskell’s type system with multi-parameter constructor classes and functional dependencies allows static (compile-time) computations to be expressed by logic programming on the ...
Abstract-- This paper presents a method that uses gene ontologies, together with the paradigm of relational subgroup discovery, to find compactly described groups of genes differen...
We introduce a new normal form, called essential tuple normal form (ETNF), for relations in a relational database where the constraints are given by functional dependencies and jo...
Relational instance-based learning (RIBL) algorithms offer high prediction capabilities. However, they do not scale up well, specially in domains where there is a time bound for c...
