We present WSQ/DSQ (pronounced “wisk-disk”), a new approach for combining the query facilities of traditional databases with existing search engines on the Web. WSQ, for Web-S...
It has been well recognized that data mining is an interactive and iterative process. In order to support this process, one of the long-term goals of data mining research has been...
Compression in column-oriented databases has been proven to offer both performance enhancements and reductions in storage consumption. This is especially true for read access as c...
Decision-support applications generate queries with complex predicates. We show how the factorization of complex query expressions exposes significant opportunities for exploiting...
— 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...
