A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
Fuzzy set theory represents a uniform framework for extending the relational database model to han-, dle imprecision of information found in the real world. None of the existing p...
When the available information is imperfect, it is often desirable to represent it in the database, so that it can be used to answer queries of interest as much as possible. The da...
Abstract. The study of databases began with the design of efficient storage and data sharing techniques for large amount of data. This paper concerns the processing of imprecision ...
In contrast to classical databases and IR systems, real-world information systems have to deal increasingly with very vague and diverse structures for information management and s...
