Abstract. Good estimates of join result sizes are critical for query optimization in relational database management systems. We address the problem of incrementally obtaining accur...
This paper addresses the problem of de ning views that span several objectbases. Views are expressed in terms of an object algebra. We are interested in the degrees of coupling an...
A refutation mechanism is introduced into logic programming, dual to the usual proof mechanism; then negation is treated via refutation. A four-valued logic is appropriate for the...
We present a "parts and structure" model for object category recognition that can be learnt efficiently and in a weakly-supervised manner: the model is learnt from examp...
This paper investigates the problem ofautomatically learning declarative models of information sources available on the Internet. We report on ILA, a domain-independent program th...
