Ranking queries produce results that are ordered on some computed score. Typically, these queries involve joins, where users are usually interested only in the top-k join results....
It has been well recognized that data mining is an interactive and iterative process. In order to support this process, one of the long-term goals of data mining research has been...
Decision-support applications generate queries with complex predicates. We show how the factorization of complex query expressions exposes significant opportunities for exploiting...
