Regular path queries are the basic navigational component of virtually all the mechanisms for querying semistructured data commonly found in information integration applications, W...
We present a theoretical analysis of supervised ranking, providing necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic consistency of algorithms based on minimizing a surrogate...
Graph cuts have proven useful for image segmentation and for volumetric reconstruction in multiple view stereo. However, solutions are biased: the cost function tends to favour ei...
Most modern RDBMS depend on the query processing optimizer’s cost model to choose the best execution plan for a given query. Since the physical IO (PIO) is a costly operation to...
Several variations of nearest neighbor (NN) query have been investigated by the database community. However, realworld applications often result in the formulation of new variatio...
