Recently the academic communities have paid more attention to the queries and mining on uncertain data. In the tasks such as clustering or nearest-neighbor queries, expected distan...
Partial information in databases can arise when information from several databases is combined. Even if each database is complete for some \world", the combined databases wil...
A model capturing the data manipulation capabilities of a large class of methods in ohjectoriented databases is proposed and investsigated. The model uses a deterministic, paralle...
We investigate the topical structure of the set of documents used to expand a query in pseudorelevance feedback (PRF). We propose a coherence score to measure the relative topical...
