A purely relational account of the true XQuery semantics can turn any relational database system into an XQuery processor. Compiling nested expressions of the fully compositional X...
In this paper we consider the problem of learning hidden independent cascade social networks using exact value injection queries. These queries involve activating and suppressing a...
