In this paper, we introduce an XML-based Hierarchical QoS Markup Language, called HQML, to enhance distributed multimedia applications on the World Wide Web (WWW) with Quality of ...
We develop new algorithms for learning monadic node selection queries in unranked trees from annotated examples, and apply them to visually interactive Web information extraction. ...
Bayesian networks, equivalently graphical Markov models determined by acyclic digraphs or ADGs (also called directed acyclic graphs or dags), have proved to be both effective and ...
This paper addresses the problem of evaluating ranked top-? queries with expensive predicates. As major DBMSs now all support expensive user-defined predicates for Boolean queries...
Over the last decade, a number of methods for geometric matching based on a branch-and-bound approach have been proposed. Such algorithms work by recursively subdividing transforma...
