In the k-medoid problem, given a dataset P, we are asked to choose k points in P as the medoids. The optimal medoid set minimizes the average Euclidean distance between the points ...
Accurate cardinality estimation is critically important to high-quality query optimization. It is well known that conventional cardinality estimation based on histograms or simila...
In this paper we propose a novel document retrieval model in which text queries are augmented with multi-dimensional taxonomy restrictions. These restrictions may be relaxed at a ...

Remotely sensed data, in particular satellite imagery, play many important roles in environmental applications and models. In particular applications that study (rapid) changes in...
A method for compression of large binary images is proposed for applications where spatial access to the image is required. The proposed method is a two-stage combination of forwa...
