Many applications in information retrieval, natural language processing, data mining, and related fields require a ranking of instances with respect to a specified criteria as op...
Abstract. The development of scalable parallel database systems requires the design of efficient algorithms for the join operation which is the most frequent and expensive operatio...
The informative vector machine (IVM) is a practical method for Gaussian process regression and classification. The IVM produces a sparse approximation to a Gaussian process by com...

It is often useful to get high-level views of datasets in order to identify areas of interest worthy of further exploration. In relational databases, the high-level view can be de...
In this paper, we present an algorithm to propagate an n-ary constraint (with n greater than 2) specifying the relative positions of points in a three-dimensional rigid group. The ...
