We introduce a framework for reordering join pipelines at runtime in a database system. This framework incorporates novel techniques for simulating the execution of a join pipeline...
Many bioinformatics problems can implicitly depend on estimating large-scale covariance matrix. The traditional approaches tend to give rise to high variance and low accuracy esti...
Query optimization is an integral part of relational database management systems. One important task in query optimization is selectivity estimation, that is, given a query P, we ...
Recent advances in hardware technology have resulted in the ability to collect and process large amounts of data. In many cases, the collection of the data is a continuous process ...
This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context. The radiance estimates computed dur...
