This paper presents a new unit selection process for Very Low Bit Rate speech encoding around 500 bits/sec. The encoding is based on speech recognition and speech synthesis technol...
In this work we investigate how the compiler technique of message strip mining performs in practice on contemporary high performance networks. Message strip mining attempts to redu...
The ObjectRank system applies authority-based ranking to keyword search in databases modeled as labeled graphs. Conceptually, authority originates at the nodes (objects) containin...
Query containment is the most fundamental relationship between a pair of database queries: a query Q is said to be contained in a query Q if the answer for Q is always a subset of...
We consider the problem of data sharing between autonomous data sources in an environment where constraints cannot be placed on the shared contents of sources. Our solutions rely ...
