We develop query relaxation techniques for regular path queries and combine them with query approximation in order to support flexible querying of RDF data when the user lacks know...
—Authority flow and proximity search have been used extensively in measuring the association between entities in data graphs, ranging from the Web to relational and XML database...
In this paper, we address the matrix completion problem and propose a novel algorithm based on a smoothed rank function (SRF) approximation. Among available algorithms like FPCA a...
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
Inference of topological and geometric attributes of a hidden manifold from its point data is a fundamental problem arising in many scientific studies and engineering application...
