Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

— One of the central problems for data quality is inconsistency detection. Given a database D and a set Σ of dependencies as data quality rules, we want to identify tuples in D ...
The blogosphere has unique structural and temporal properties since blogs are typically used as communication media among human individuals. In this paper, we propose a novel tech...
Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has become one of the most active research areas in computer science. Relevance feedback is often used in CBIR systems to bridge the semantic ...
