On probabilistic fixpoint and Markov chain query languages
We study highly expressive query languages such as datalog, fixpoint, and while-languages on probabilistic databases. We generalize these languages such that computation steps (e....

Probabilistic XML via Markov Chains
We show how Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs) and their restrictions can define probabilistic distributions over XML documents, and study tractability of querying over such models. ...

Extending query translation to cross-language query expansion with markov chain models
Dictionary-based approaches to query translation have been widely used in Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) experiments. Using these approaches, translation has been not...

Adaptive MCMC with Bayesian Optimization
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...

Hybrid in-database inference for declarative information extraction
In the database community, work on information extraction (IE) has centered on two themes: how to effectively manage IE tasks, and how to manage the uncertainties that arise in th...
