This paper presents a framework for building rule-based image retrieval (RBIR) systems. Soft computing based multimedia data mining techniques are employed to extract and optimize...
It has long been noted that many data mining algorithms can be built on top of join algorithms. This has lead to a wealth of recent work on efficiently supporting such joins with ...

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...
