Abstract. We present in this paper a new model for representing probabilistic information in a semi-structured (XML) database, based on the use of probabilistic event variables. Th...
Data integration has been an important area of research for several years. However, such systems suffer from one of the main drawbacks of database systems: the need to invest signi...
This paper summarizes a probabilistic approach for localizing people through the signal strengths of a wireless IEEE 802.11b network. Our approach uses data labeled by ground trut...

We introduce an information theoretic method for nonparametric, nonlinear dimensionality reduction, based on the infinite cluster limit of rate distortion theory. By constraining...
In many systems, sensors are used to acquire information from external environments such as temperature, pressure and locations. Due to continuous changes in these values, and lim...
