Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
We obtain the following results related to dynamic versions of the shortest-paths problem: (i) Reductions that show that the incremental and decremental singlesource shortest-paths...
A new method for ensemble generation is presented. It is based on grouping the attributes in dierent subgroups, and to apply, for each group, an axis rotation, using Principal Com...
We prove strong noise-tolerance properties of a potential-based boosting algorithm, similar to MadaBoost (Domingo and Watanabe, 2000) and SmoothBoost (Servedio, 2003). Our analysi...
This paper considers approaches which rerank the output of an existing probabilistic parser. The base parser produces a set of candidate parses for each input sentence, with assoc...
