This paper proposes a lightweight fusion method for general recursive function definitions. Compared with existing proposals, our method has several significant practical features...
Virtually every commercial query optimizer chooses the best plan for a query using a cost model that relies heavily on accurate cardinality estimation. Cardinality estimation erro...

We introduce a new theoretical derivation, evaluation methods, and extensive empirical analysis for an automatic query expansion framework in which model estimation is cast as a r...
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
The analysis of gene expression time series obtained from microarray experiments can be effectively exploited to understand a wide range of biological phenomena from the homeostat...
