An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
This paper is concerned with the performance evaluation of fingerprint verification systems. After an initial classification of biometric testing initiatives, we explore both the t...
Ratings (also known as recommendations) provide an efficient and effective way to build trust relationship in the human society, by making use of the information from others rathe...
Data summarization is very important for many data analysis tasks. In this paper we propose a simple but efficient data summarization algorithm, which outputs a histogram for mult...
We introduce a novel wire detection algorithm for use in low altitude urban aircraft reconnaissance. A line profile model is described and effectively used to discriminate wires f...
