For some problems, human assistance is needed in addition to automated (algorithmic) computation. In sharp contrast to existing data management approaches, where human input is ei...
We investigate the problem of ranking answers to a database query when many tuples are returned. We adapt and apply principles of probabilistic models from Information Retrieval f...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a theoretical foundation for querying inductive databases, which can accommodate disparate mining tasks. We present a data mining algebra includ...
Abstract Method invocation mechanism is one of the essential features in objectoriented programming languages. This mechanism contributes to data encapsulation and code reuse, but ...
Query formulation is a key aspect of information retrieval, contributing to both the efficiency and usability of many semantic applications. A number of query languages, such as SP...
