Text segmentation is important for text analysis, while text alignment is to determine shared sub-topics among similar documents. Multi-task text segmentation and alignment is the...
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is fast becoming a prevalent tool in tracking commodities in supply chain management applications. The movement of commodities thr...
Skyline queries compute the set of Pareto-optimal tuples in a relation, i.e., those tuples that are not dominated by any other tuple in the same relation. Although several algorit...
Relational databases are widely used today as a mechanism for providing access to structured data. They, however, are not suitable for typical information finding tasks of end use...
We consider the problem of finding highly correlated pairs in a large data set. That is, given a threshold not too small, we wish to report all the pairs of items (or binary attri...
We propose a method for discovering the dependency relationships between the topics of documents shared in social networks using the latent social interactions, attempting to answ...
A major challenge in developing models for hypertext retrieval is to effectively combine content information with the link structure available in hypertext collections. Although s...
We study the novel problem of efficiently computing the update distance for a pair of relational databases. In analogy to the edit distance of strings, we define the update distan...
