In this paper, we study probabilistic modeling of heterogeneously attributed multi-dimensional arrays. The model can manage the heterogeneity by employing an individual exponential...
We consider the problem of estimating CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for processing range and k-nearest neighbors queries over metric spaces. Unlike the specific case ...
Often, high dimensional data lie close to a low-dimensional submanifold and it is of interest to understand the geometry of these submanifolds. The homology groups of a manifold a...

—As databases increasingly integrate different types of information such as multimedia, spatial, time-series, and scientific data, it becomes necessary to support efficient retri...
In this paper, we describe the TIMBER XML database system implemented at University of Michigan. TIMBER was one of the first native XML database systems, designed from the ground ...
