HASE: A Hybrid Approach to Selectivity Estimation for Conjunctive Predicates
Current methods for selectivity estimation fall into two broad categories, synopsis-based and sampling-based. Synopsis-based methods, such as histograms, incur minimal overhead at ...

Exact Decoding of Syntactic Translation Models through Lagrangian Relaxation
We describe an exact decoding algorithm for syntax-based statistical translation. The approach uses Lagrangian relaxation to decompose the decoding problem into tractable subprobl...
