The construction and maintenance of data warehouses (views) in large-scale environments composed of numerous distributed and evolving information sources (ISs) such as the WWW has ...
To simplify the task of constructing wrapper/monitor for the information sources in data warehouse systems, we provide a modularized design method to re-use the code. By substitut...
This paper presents a system for autonomous information gathering in an information rich domain under time and monetary resource restrictions. The system gathers information using ...
Title generation is a complex task involving both natural language understanding and natural language synthesis. In this paper, we propose a new probabilistic model for title gene...
Fusionplex is a system for integrating multiple heterogeneous and autonomous information sources that uses data fusion to resolve factual inconsistencies among the individual sour...
This paper describes an attempt to model the method of generating a fact from the opinions of other persons or of institutions as a process which is based on knowledge about these...
With more and more electronic information sources becoming widely available, the issue of the quality of these, often-competing, sources has become germane. We propose a standard ...
- We investigate the simplest Slepian-Wolf source network, consisting of an information source correlated with a second source used as a side-information for the decoder but not th...
This paper investigates the problem ofautomatically learning declarative models of information sources available on the Internet. We report on ILA, a domain-independent program th...
Accessing information sources to retrieve data requested by a user can be expensive, especially when dealing with distributed information sources. One way to reduce this cost is t...
