In uncertain and probabilistic databases, confidence values (or probabilities) are associated with each data item. Confidence values are assigned to query results based on combinin...
In this paper, we consider a data model for uncertain trajectories of moving objects. In our model, the trajectory is a vector of uniform stochastic processes. We study “univers...
The leading web search engines have spent a decade building highly specialized ranking functions for English web pages. One of the reasons these ranking functions are effective is...
In this paper, we attempt to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of query-dependent link-based ranking algorithms such as HITS, MAX and SALSA. All these ranking algorith...
Detecting artists that can be considered as prototypes for particular genres or styles of music is an interesting task. In this paper, we present an approach that ranks artists ac...
