Selecting promising queries is the key to effective active learning. In this paper, we investigate selection techniques for the task of learning an equivalence relation where the ...
We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
In distributed constraint optimization problems, dynamic programming methods have been recently proposed (e.g. DPOP). In dynamic programming many valuations are grouped together i...
In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custom...
We propose to incorporate a priori geometric constraints in a 3?D stereo reconstruction scheme to cope with the many cases where image information alone is not sufficient to accur...
