We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. We define the Gaussian fracti...
In the emerging area of sensor-based systems, a significant challenge is to develop scalable, fault-tolerant methods to extract useful information from the data the sensors collec...

Several XML query languages have been proposed that use XPath expressions to locate data. But XPath expressions might miss some data because of irregularities in the data and sche...
Fast retrieval of time series in terms of their contents is important in many application domains. This paper studies database techniques supporting fast searches for time series ...
We study the problem of estimating selectivity of approximate substring queries. Its importance in databases is ever increasing as more and more data are input by users and are in...
