Repairing a database means making the database consistent by applying changes that are as small as possible. Nearly all approaches to repairing have assumed deletions and insertion...
We consider the problem of answering datalog queries using materialized views. The ability to answer queries using views is crucial in the context of information integration. Prev...
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...
The accurate formulation of boolean expressions is a notorious problem in programming languages and database query tools. This paper studies the ways that untrained users naturall...
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...
