Data Integration with Uncertainty
This paper reports our first set of results on managing uncertainty in data integration. We posit that data-integration systems need to handle uncertainty at three levels, and do...

Probabilistic question answering on the web
Web-based search engines such as Google and NorthernLight return documents that are relevant to a user query, not answers to user questions. We have developed an architecture that...

Testing juntas nearly optimally
A function on n variables is called a k-junta if it depends on at most k of its variables. In this article, we show that it is possible to test whether a function is a k-junta or ...

Parsimonious translation models for information retrieval
In the KL divergence framework, the extended language modeling approach has a critical problem estimating a query model, which is the probabilistic model that encodes user’s inf...
