The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
We consider the problem of efficiently learning optimal control policies and value functions over large state spaces in an online setting in which estimates must be available afte...
For complex data mining queries, query optimization issues arise, similar to those for the traditional database queries. However, few works have applied the cost-based query optim...
Planning can often be simplified by decomposing the task into smaller tasks arranged hierarchically. Charlin et al. [4] recently showed that the hierarchy discovery problem can be...
There has been a great deal of work in recent years on processing and optimizing queries against XML data. Typically in these previous works, schema information is not considered,...
