We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
In science and engineering courses, students are often presented a situation for which they are asked to identify the relevant principles and to instantiate them as a set of equat...
The production of geospatial information from overhead imagery is generally a labor-intensive process. Analysts must accurately delineate and extract important features, such as b...
