This paper addresses the problem of evaluating ranked top-? queries with expensive predicates. As major DBMSs now all support expensive user-defined predicates for Boolean queries...
This paper gives an efficient Bayesian method for inferring the parameters of a PlackettLuce ranking model. Such models are parameterised distributions over rankings of a finite s...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between query scores and data uncertainty ma...
