— A paramount challenge in probabilistic databases is the scalable computation of confidences of tuples in query results. This paper introduces an efficient secondary-storage o...
Interest in XML databases has been growing over the last few years. In this paper, we study the problem of incorporating probabilistic information into XML databases. We propose th...
This paper addresses the problem of building large-scale maps of indoor environments with mobile robots. It proposes a statisticalapproach that phrases the map buildingproblem as ...
Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) are ubiquitous in Artificial Intelligence. The backtrack algorithms that maintain some local consistency during search have become the de ...
Diversity has been heavily motivated in the information retrieval literature as an objective criterion for result sets in search and recommender systems. Perhaps one of the most w...
