We study the representation, derivation and utilization of a special kind of constraints in multidatabase systems. A major challenge is when component database schemas are schemat...
We propose PASTE, the first differentially private aggregation algorithms for distributed time-series data that offer good practical utility without any trusted server. PASTE add...
The query equivalence problem has been studied extensively for set-semantics and, more recently, for bag-set semantics. However, SQL queries often combine set and bag-set semantic...
In this paper, we present an approach for the retrieval of natural scenes based on a semantic modeling step. Semantic modeling stands for the classification of local image regions...
We present the new notion of enforced generative pattern, a structure that declares positive or negative conditions that must be satisfied by a model. Patterns are applied to tran...
