Abstract—Most objects and data in the real world are interconnected, forming complex, heterogeneous but often semistructured information networks. However, many database research...
Distance function computation is a key subtask in many data mining algorithms and applications. The most effective form of the distance function can only be expressed in the conte...
Skewed distributions appear very often in practice. Unfortunately, the traditional Zipf distribution often fails to model them well. In this paper, we propose a new probability di...
Query optimization in data integration requires source coverage and overlap statistics. Gathering and storing the required statistics presents many challenges, not the least of wh...
Software archives contain historical information about the development process of a software system. Using data mining techniques rules can be extracted from these archives. In th...
