We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
People are seldom aware that their search queries frequently mismatch a majority of the relevant documents. This may not be a big problem for topics with a large and diverse set o...
While providing a uniform syntax and a semistructured data model, XML does not express semantics but only structure such as nesting information. In this paper, we consider the prob...
Materialized views offer opportunities for significant performance gain in query evaluation by providing fast access to pre-computed data. The question of when and how to use a ma...
We have been developing new relevance feedback algorithms for Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) that allow the user to achieve more flexible query. In conjunction with the new...
