— An approximate string query is to find from a collection of strings those that are similar to a given query string. Answering such queries is important in many applications su...
Reflective Relational Machines were introduced by S. Abiteboul, C. Papadimitriou and V. Vianu in 1994, as variations of Turing machines which are suitable for the computation of ...

Inspired by Feige (36th STOC, 2004), we initiate a study of sublinear randomized algorithms for approximating average parameters of a graph. Specifically, we consider the average ...
Most research in algorithms for geometric query problems has focused on their worstcase performance. However, when information on the query distribution is available, the alternat...
Abstract-- Answering approximate queries on string collections is important in applications such as data cleaning, query relaxation, and spell checking, where inconsistencies and e...
