We develop a pseudo-metric analogue of bisimulation for generalized semi-Markov processes. The kernel of this pseudo-metric corresponds to bisimulation; thus we have extended bisi...
Learning a good ranking function plays a key role for many applications including the task of (multimedia) information retrieval. While there are a few rank learning methods availa...
The skyline operator was first proposed in 2001 for retrieving interesting tuples from a dataset. Since then, 100+ skyline-related papers have been published; however, we discove...
One of the most important types of query processing in spatial databases and geographic information systems is the spatial join, an operation that selects, from two relations, all...
Dynamic Bayesian networks are structured representations of stochastic processes. Despite their structure, exact inference in DBNs is generally intractable. One approach to approx...
