Summarizing topological relations is fundamental to many spatial applications including spatial query optimization. In this paper, we examine the selectivity estimation for range w...
A join of two relations in real databases is usually much smaller than their cartesian product. This means that most of the combinations of tuples in the crossproduct of the respe...
In this paper, we combine the use of Reduced Feature Vector Integration (RFI) and Distance Integration (DI) with Relevance Feedback (RF) on 3D model similarity retrieval. The RFI ...
Traditional DBMSs decouple statistics collection and query optimization both in space and time. Decoupling in time may lead to outdated statistics. Decoupling in space may cause s...

Personalized PageRank, related to random walks with restarts and conductance in resistive networks, is a frequent search paradigm for graph-structured databases. While efficient ba...
