In the rank join problem, we are given a set of relations and a scoring function, and the goal is to return the join results with the top K scores. It is often the case in practic...
In recent years, there has been significant interest in development of ranking functions and efficient top-k retrieval algorithms to help users in ad-hoc search and retrieval in da...

In this paper, we present an efficient and robust algorithm for shape matching, registration, and detection. The task is to geometrically transform a source shape to fit a target ...
We propose efficient particle smoothing methods for generalized state-spaces models. Particle smoothing is an expensive O(N2 ) algorithm, where N is the number of particles. We ov...
