We describe a slightly subexponential time algorithm for learning parity functions in the presence of random classification noise, a problem closely related to several cryptograph...
Multiple sequence alignment is a fundamental problem in computational biology. Because of its notorious difficulties, aligning sequences within a constant band (c-diagonal) is a ...
Similarity search and similarity join on strings are important for applications such as duplicate detection, error detection, data cleansing, or comparison of biological sequences....
We consider two-dimensional spatial databases defined in terms of polynomial inequalities and focus on the potential of programming languages for such databases to express queries...
Multidimensional Analysis in On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), and Scientific and statistical databases (SSDB) use operations requiring summary information on multi-dimensiona...
