Ranking queries produce results that are ordered on some computed score. Typically, these queries involve joins, where users are usually interested only in the top-k join results....
This paper introduces a gradient-based reward prediction update mechanism to the XCS classifier system as applied in neuralnetwork type learning and function approximation mechani...

In the present paper we propose a consistent way to integrate syntactical least general generalizations (lgg's) with semantic evaluation of the hypotheses. For this purpose we...
We present two approaches to extend Robust Soft Learning Vector Quantization (RSLVQ). This algorithm for nearest prototype classification is derived from an explicit cost functio...
We consider the problem of improving the efficiency of query processing on an XML interface of a relational database, for predefined query workloads. The main contribution of this ...
