In the rank join problem, we are given a set of relations and a scoring function, and the goal is to return the join results with the top K scores. It is often the case in practic...
Roughly speaking, adequatness is the property of a theorem proving method to solve simpler problems faster than more difficult ones. Automated inferencing methods are often not ad...
We propose efficient particle smoothing methods for generalized state-spaces models. Particle smoothing is an expensive O(N2 ) algorithm, where N is the number of particles. We ov...
