This paper describes a new benchmark for object-relational DBMSs, the Benchmark for Object-Relational Databases (BORD). BORD has been developed to evaluate system performance pecul...
This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
A content-based retrieval model for tackling the mismatch problems specific to music data is proposed and implemented. The system uses a pitch profile encoding for queries in any ...
We are concerned with the problem of sequential prediction using a givenhypothesis class of continuously-manyprediction strategies. An eectiveperformance measure is the minimax re...
