Abstract-- When dealing with massive quantities of data, topk queries are a powerful technique for returning only the k most relevant tuples for inspection, based on a scoring func...
Complex networks, such as biological, social, and communication networks, often entail uncertainty, and thus, can be modeled as probabilistic graphs. Similar to the problem of sim...

Large databases with uncertain information are becoming more common in many applications including data integration, location tracking, and Web search. In these applications, ranki...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between query scores and data uncertainty ma...

The detection of duplicate tuples, corresponding to the same real-world entity, is an important task in data integration and cleaning. While many techniques exist to identify such...
