We study the novel problem of efficiently computing the update distance for a pair of relational databases. In analogy to the edit distance of strings, we define the update distan...
Optimising the parameters of ranking functions with respect to standard IR rank-dependent cost functions has eluded satisfactory analytical treatment. We build on recent advances ...

This paper describes in detail the combination of NLP methods applied to the treatment of logic forms in the topic processing and statistical methods applied to the search engine ...
We propose a closed form solution for segmenting mixtures of 2-D translational and 2-D affine motion models directly from the image intensities. Our approach exploits the fact that...
Abstract. Designs of micro electro-mechanical devices need to be robust against fluctuations in mass production. Computer experiments with tens of parameters are used to explore th...
