Answering queries using materialized views has been well studied in the context of structured queries and has shown significant performance benefits. Despite the popularity of keyw...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of answering top-k queries via materialized views. We provide theoretical guarantees for the adequacy of a view to answer a top-k query, ...
We present an approach to query expansion in answer retrieval that uses Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) techniques to bridge the lexical gap between questions and answers. S...

The problems of query containment, equivalence, and minimization are recognized as very important in the context of query processing, specifically of query optimization. In their...
Current approaches for answering queries with imprecise constraints require users to provide distance metrics and importance measures for attributes of interest. In this paper we ...
