Structurally recursive XML queries are an important query class that follows the structure of XML data. At present, it is difficult for XQuery to type and optimize structurally re...
Emerging database application domains demand not only new functionality but also high performance. To satisfy these two requirements, the Volcano project provides efficient, exten...
An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
We propose a simple approach to combining first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models in a single representation. A Markov logic network (MLN) is a first-order knowledge b...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose that the select operator in relational databases be adopted for incorporating evidence in Bayesian networks. This approach does not involve the ...
