Top-k spatial preference queries return a ranked set of the k best data objects based on the scores of feature objects in their spatial neighborhood. Despite the wide range of loc...
The emergence of the Semantic Web has led to the creation of large semantic knowledge bases, often in the form of RDF databases. Improving the performance of RDF databases necessit...
Statistical and computational concerns have motivated parameter estimators based on various forms of likelihood, e.g., joint, conditional, and pseudolikelihood. In this paper, we ...
Existing algorithms for exact helical cone beam (HCB) tomographic reconstruction involve a 3-D backprojection step, which dominates the the computational cost of the algorithm. We...
In this paper we describe several novel sparsification techniques used in a Fast Stochastic Integral Equation Solver to compute the mean value and the variance of capacitance of ...
