Most operations of the relational algebra or SQL require a sorted stream of tuples for efficient processing. Therefore, processing complex relational queries relies on efficient a...
Despite popular belief, boosting algorithms and related coordinate descent methods are prone to overfitting. We derive modifications to AdaBoost and related gradient-based coordin...
Given that most elementary problems in database design are NP-hard, the currently used database design algorithms produce suboptimal results. For example, the current 3NF decompos...
