Abstract. Good estimates of join result sizes are critical for query optimization in relational database management systems. We address the problem of incrementally obtaining accur...
A description classifier organizes concepts and relations into a taxonomy based on the results of subsumption computations applied to pairs of relation definitions. Until now, des...
For z1, z2, z3 Zn, the tristance d3(z1, z2, z3) is a generalization of the L1-distance on Zn to a quantity that reflects the relative dispersion of three points rather than two. ...
We prove that one can express the vertex-minor relation on finite undirected graphs by formulas of monadic second-order logic (with no edge set quantification) extended with a p...
