— One of the central problems for data quality is inconsistency detection. Given a database D and a set Σ of dependencies as data quality rules, we want to identify tuples in D ...
Ranking for multilingual information retrieval (MLIR) is a task to rank documents of different languages solely based on their relevancy to the query regardless of query’s langu...
Behavior synthesis and optimization beyond the register transfer level require an efficient utilization of the underlying platform features. This paper presents a platform-based ...
