We study the problem of computing query results with confidence values in ULDBs: relational databases with uncertainty and lineage. ULDBs, which subsume probabilistic databases, o...
Text search engines return a set of k documents ranked by similarity to a query. Typically, documents and queries are drawn from natural language text, which can readily be partiti...

Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between query scores and data uncertainty ma...

XML databases often contain documents comprising structured text. Therefore, it is important to integrate "information retrieval style" query evaluation, which is well-s...
We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
