Web search query logs contain traces of users’ search modifications. One strategy users employ is deleting terms, presumably to obtain greater coverage. It is useful to model a...

This paper deals with the problem of inference under uncertain information. This is a generalization of a paper of Cardona et al. (1991a) where rules were not allowed to contain n...
Most database systems (DBMSs) today are operating on servers equipped with magnetic disks. In our contribution, we want to motivate the use of two emerging and striking technologi...
We present a general machine learning framework for modelling the phenomenon of missing information in data. We propose a masking process model to capture the stochastic nature of...
