Query optimization is a computationally intensive process, especially for complex queries. We present here a tool, called PLASTIC, that can be used by query optimizers to amortize...

Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) are a widely-used approach for supervised sequence labelling, notably due to their ability to handle large description spaces and to integrate str...
Over the last decade, a number of methods for geometric matching based on a branch-and-bound approach have been proposed. Such algorithms work by recursively subdividing transforma...
We present a new approach for simplifying polygonal objects. Our method is general in that it works on models that contain both non-manifold geometry and surface attributes. It is...
