Even though an effective cost-based query optimizer is of utmost importance for the efficient evaluation of XQuery expressions in native XML database systems, such a component is...
With more and more large networks becoming available, mining and querying such networks are increasingly important tasks which are not being supported by database models and query...
In this paper we are mainly concerned with discussion of a formal model, based on the basic concept of divergence from information theory, for automatic query expansion. The basic...
We study highly expressive query languages such as datalog, fixpoint, and while-languages on probabilistic databases. We generalize these languages such that computation steps (e....
We explore a general Bayesian active learning setting, in which the learner can ask arbitrary yes/no questions. We derive upper and lower bounds on the expected number of queries r...
