We study the problem of generating e cient, equivalent rewritings using views to compute the answer to a query. We take the closed-world assumption, in which views are materialize...
er presents an approach to deriving an abstract geometric model of a table from a physical representation. The technique developed uses a graph of constraints between cells which ...
Refinement operators for theories avoid the problems related to the myopia of many relational learning algorithms based on the operators that refine single clauses. However, the n...
