Datalog Programs over Infinite Databases, Revisited
Traditionally, infinite databases were studied as a data model for queries that may contain function symbols (since functions may be expressed as infinite relations). Recently, th...

A contrario matching of SIFT-like descriptors
In this paper, the matching of SIFT-like features [5] between images is studied. The goal is to decide which matches between descriptors of two datasets should be selected. This m...

Shooting Stars in the Sky: An Online Algorithm for Skyline Queries
Skyline queries ask for a set of interesting points from a potentially large set of data points. If we are traveling, for instance, a restaurant might be interesting if there is n...

Local Graph Partitions for Approximation and Testing
—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...

Statistical analysis of sketch estimators
Sketching techniques can provide approximate answers to aggregate queries either for data-streaming or distributed computation. Small space summaries that have linearity propertie...
