In this paper we describe a new efficient (in fact optimal) data structure for the top-K color problem. Each element of an array A is assigned a color c with priority p(c). For a ...
Web search engines compete to offer the fastest responses with highest relevance. However, as Web collections grow, it becomes more difficult to achieve this purpose. As most user...
We propose a cooperative-coevolution – Parisian trend – algorithm, IMPEA (Independence Model based Parisian EA), to the problem of Bayesian networks structure estimation. It i...
We present an effective optimization framework for general SQLlike map-reduce queries, which is based on a novel query algebra and uses a small number of higher-order physical ope...
We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
