We show how structured data stored in files can benefit from standard database technology and in particular be queried and updated using database languages. We introduce the notio...
The main task in decision tree construction algorithms is to find the "best partition" of the set of objects. In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal binary ...
The design of external index structures for one- and multidimensional extended objects is a long and well studied subject in basic database research. Today, more and more commercia...
Preference queries are relational algebra or SQL queries that contain occurrences of the winnow operator (find the most preferred tuples in a given relation). We present here a nu...
In this paper we present a system for automatically integrating unstructured text into a multi-relational database using state-of-the-art statistical models for structure extracti...
