The data cube operator exemplifies two of the most important aspects of OLAP queries: aggregation and dimension hierarchies. In earlier work we presented Dwarf, a highly compress...
This can be a costly operation. When the data is arranged according to its three-dimensional coordinates, calculating the contour surfaces requires examining each data cell. Avoidi...
Given a set D = {d1, d2, ..., dD} of D strings of total length n, our task is to report the "most relevant" strings for a given query pattern P. This involves somewhat mo...
Predictive state representations (PSRs) use predictions of a set of tests to represent the state of controlled dynamical systems. One reason why this representation is exciting as...
—A new class of distances appropriate for measuring similarity relations between sequences, say one type of similarity per distance, is studied. We propose a new “normalized in...
