Twig queries have been extensively studied as a major fragment of XPATH queries to query XML data. In this paper, we study PXMLRANK query, (Q, k), which is to rank top-k probabili...
Combining the output from multiple retrieval sources over the same document collection is of great importance to a number of retrieval tasks such as multimedia retrieval, web retr...
We present a novel approach to parse web search queries for the purpose of automatic tagging of the queries. We will define a set of probabilistic context-free rules, which genera...
— A paramount challenge in probabilistic databases is the scalable computation of confidences of tuples in query results. This paper introduces an efficient secondary-storage o...
Abstract. We study here fundamental issues involved in top-k query evaluation in probabilistic databases. We consider simple probabilistic databases in which probabilities are asso...
