The fused Lasso penalty enforces sparsity in both the coefficients and their successive differences, which is desirable for applications with features ordered in some meaningful w...
Recently several database-based applications have emerged that are remote from data sources and need accurate histograms for query cardinality estimation. Traditional approaches fo...
This paper introduces a novel method for obtaining increased predictive performance from transparent models in situations where production input vectors are available when building...
Answering aggregate queries like sum, count, min, max over regions containing moving objects is often needed for virtual world applications, real-time monitoring systems, etc. Sin...
The effect of frost on the successful growth and quality of crops is well understood by growers as leading potentially to total harvest failure. Studying the frost phenomenon, espe...
