We study the problem of answering spatial queries in databases where objects exist with some uncertainty and they are associated with an existential probability. The goal of a thre...

In this paper we consider general rank minimization problems with rank appearing in either objective function or constraint. We first show that a class of matrix optimization prob...
Given a multidimensional point q, a reverse k nearest neighbor (RkNN) query retrieves all the data points that have q as one of their k nearest neighbors. Existing methods for proc...
We propose a selection scheme called Fitness-based Neighbor Selection (FNS) for multimodal optimization. The FNS is aimed for ill-scaled and locally multimodal domain, both found ...
