While the persistent data of many advanced database applications, such as OLAP and scientific studies, are characterized by very high dimensionality, typical queries posed on thes...
Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
Most of current machine vision systems suffer from a lack of flexibility to account for the high variability of unstructured environments. Here, as the state of the world evolves ...
This work introduces two complementary techniques to improve the packet loss resilience of scalable video coding systems. First, a “switch per-pixel” error concealment (SPEC) ...
Usability comprises the aspects effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. The correlations between these aspects are not well understood for complex tasks. We present data from...
