The requirements of real-world data mining problems vary extensively. It is plausible to assume that some of these requirements can be expressed as application-specific performan...
We present a generalization of the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), where a multilayer generative network with nonnegative weights is used to approximate the observed nonne...
Although the presence of a schema enables many optimizations for operations on XML documents, recent studies have shown that many XML documents in practice either do not refer to ...
This paper discusses the linearly weighted combination of estimators in which the weighting functions are dependent on the input. We show that the weighting functions can be deriv...
XML suffers from the major limitation of high redundancy. Even if compression can be beneficial for XML data, however, once compressed, the data can be seldom browsed and queried i...
