Locality preserving projections (LPP) is a typical graph-based dimensionality reduction (DR) method, and has been successfully applied in many practical problems such as face recog...
High quality meshes are crucial for the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) via the finite element method (or other PDE solvers). The accuracy of the PDE solution,...
Keyword search in relational databases has been extensively studied. Given a relational database, a keyword query finds a set of interconnected tuple structures connected by fore...
We introduce the proximity rank join problem, where we are given a set of relations whose tuples are equipped with a score and a real-valued feature vector. Given a target feature...
The emergence of multicore architectures and highly scalable platforms motivates the development of novel algorithms and techniques that emphasize concurrency and are tolerant of ...
