Weakly learning DNF and characterizing statistical query learning using Fourier analysis
We present new results on the well-studied problem of learning DNF expressions. We prove that an algorithm due to Kushilevitz and Mansour [13] can be used to weakly learn DNF form...

Mining Approximate Functional Dependencies and Concept Similarities to Answer Imprecise Queries
Current approaches for answering queries with imprecise constraints require users to provide distance metrics and importance measures for attributes of interest. In this paper we ...

Query Answering and Containment for Regular Path Queries under Distortions
Abstract. We give a general framework for approximate query processing in semistructured databases. We focus on regular path queries, which are the integral part of most of the que...

Lower bounds for expected-case planar point location
Given a planar polygonal subdivision S, the point location problem is to preprocess S into a data structure so that the cell of the subdivision that contains a given query point c...

Two Upper Bounds for Conjunctive Query Answering in SHIQ
We have shown recently that, in extensions of ALC that involve inverse roles, conjunctive query answering is harder than satisfiability: it is 2-ExpTime-complete in general and NEx...
