Optimizing queries that involve operations on spatial data requires estimating the selectivity and cost of these operations. In this paper, we focus on estimating the cost of spat...

In this paper we present a novel approach for estimating the selectivity of XML twig queries. Such a technique is useful for approximate query answering as well as for determining...
We investigate the biologically inspired features (BIF) for human age estimation from faces. As in previous bioinspired models, a pyramid of Gabor filters are used at all positio...
