Modeling objects by probability density functions (pdf) is a new powerful method to represent complex objects in databases. By representing an object as a pdf, e.g. a Gaussian, it...
In this paper, we introduce the concept of a QA-Pagelet to refer to the content region in a dynamic page that contains query matches. We present THOR, a scalable and efficient min...
Column-oriented database system architectures invite a reevaluation of how and when data in databases is compressed. Storing data in a column-oriented fashion greatly increases th...
In this paper, we propose a novel method for fast nearest neighbors retrieval in non-Euclidean and non-metric spaces. We organize the data into a hierarchical fashion that preserv...
