Many software applications have a component based on database management systems in which information is generally handled through SQL queries embedded in the application code. Wh...
Currently, there are two main basic approaches to data integration: Global-as-View (GaV) and Local-as-View (LaV). However, both GaV and LaV have their limitations. In a GaV approa...
We review the notion of hypertree width, a measure of the degree of cyclicity of hypergraphs that is useful for identifying and solving efficiently easy instances of hard problems...
The 1-versus-2 queries problem, which has been extensively studied in computational complexity theory, asks in its generality whether every efficient algorithm that makes at most 2...
Our participation in TREC 2004 aims to extend and improve the use of the DFR (Divergence From Randomness) models with Query Expansion (QE) for the robust track. We experiment with...
