Advanced database systems face a great challenge raised by the emergence of massive, complex structural data in bioinformatics, chem-informatics, and many other applications. The ...
This paper addresses the problem of evaluating ranked top-? queries with expensive predicates. As major DBMSs now all support expensive user-defined predicates for Boolean queries...
Structured P2P systems have been developed for constructing applications at internet scale in cooperative environments and exhibit a number of desirable features such as scalabili...
Different formal learning models address different aspects of learning. Below we compare learning via queries—interpreting learning as a one-shot process in which the learner i...
When selecting alternatives from large amounts of data, trade-offs play a vital role in everyday decision making. In databases this is primarily reflected by the top-k retrieval p...
