We present an effective optimization framework for general SQLlike map-reduce queries, which is based on a novel query algebra and uses a small number of higher-order physical ope...
The k-forest problem is a common generalization of both the k-MST and the dense-k-subgraph problems. Formally, given a metric space on n vertices V , with m demand pairs ⊆ V × ...
The Aurora system [1] is an experimental data stream management system with a fully functional prototype. It includes both a graphical development environment, and a runtime syste...
Visualizations and simulations in an urban environment need 3D digital maps rather than traditional 2D maps, and constructing 3D maps from multiple data sources has become a promi...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for learning generic visual vocabulary. We use diffusion maps to au-tomatically learn a semantic visual vocabulary from ab-undant quantiz...
