Using SQL has not been considered an efficient and feasible way to implement data mining algorithms. Although this is true for many data mining, machine learning and statistical a...
String data is ubiquitous, and its management has taken on particular importance in the past few years. Approximate queries are very important on string data especially for more c...
We propose a subspace learning algorithm for face recognition by directly optimizing recognition performance scores. Our approach is motivated by the following observations: 1) Di...
XML structural joins, which evaluate the containment (ancestor-descendant) relationships between XML elements, are important operations of XML query processing. Estimating structu...
Wireless sensor networks offer the potential to span and monitor large geographical areas inexpensively. Sensors, however, have significant power constraint (battery life), makin...
