Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
Given the ranked lists of documents returned by multiple search engines in response to a given query, the problem of metasearch is to combine these lists in a way which optimizes ...
This paper addresses the problem of automatic detection of salient video segments for real-world applications such as corporate training based on associated speech transcriptions....
Using materialized view to accelerate OLAP queries is one of the most common methods used in ROLAP systems. However, high storage and computation cost make this method very diffic...
The application of document clustering to information retrieval has been motivated by the potential effectiveness gains postulated by the Cluster Hypothesis. The hypothesis states ...
