The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
Abstract. A new technique for combinational logic optimization is described. The technique is a two-step process. In the first step, the nonlinearity of a circuit – as measured ...
This paper proposes a method to accelerate character recognition of a large character set by employing pivots into the search space. We divide the feature space of character categ...
Background: One important application of microarray experiments is to identify differentially expressed genes. Often, small and negative expression levels were clipped-off to be e...
Given an object q, modeled by a multidimensional point, a reverse nearest neighbors (RNN) query returns the set of objects in the database that have q as their nearest neighbor. I...
