We consider the issue of query performance, and we propose a novel method for automatically predicting the difficulty of a query. Unlike a number of existing techniques which are b...
A question that database administrators (DBAs) routinely need to answer is how long a batch query workload will take to complete. This question arises, for example, while planning...
Pseudo-relevance feedback has proven effective for improving the average retrieval performance. Unfortunately, many experiments have shown that although pseudo-relevance feedback...
Abstract. One of the critical stages in drug development is the identification of potential side effects for promising drug leads. Large scale clinical experiments aimed at discove...
Prediction is emerging as an essential ingredient for real-time monitoring, planning and decision support applications such as intrusion detection, e-commerce pricing and automate...
