The goal of this paper is to study how a-prior knowledge of the image database could be exploited for better watermarking performance. Unlike most formulations, where the encoder ...
Modern CPUs have instructions that allow basic operations to be performed on several data elements in parallel. These instructions are called SIMD instructions, since they apply a...
Estimation via sampling out of highly selective join queries is well known to be problematic, most notably in online aggregation. Without goal-directed sampling strategies, samples...
Integrity constraints are valuable tools for enforcing consistency of data in a database. Global integrity constraints ensure integrity and consistency of data spanning multiple d...
The classic Generalized Sequential Patterns (GSP) algorithm returns all frequent sequences present in a database. However, usually a few ones are interesting from a user's po...
