Many modern database applications require content-based similarity search capability in numeric attribute space. Further, users' notion of similarity varies between search se...
—Medial representations of shapes are useful due to their use of an object-centered coordinate system that directly captures intuitive notions of shape such as thickness, bending...
Motivated by improvements in constraint-solving technology and by the increase of routinely available computational power, partial-program synthesis is emerging as an effective a...
We prove lower bounds on the redundancy necessary to represent a set S of objects using a number of bits close to the information-theoretic minimum log2 |S|, while answering vario...
Incompleteness due to missing attribute values (aka "null values") is very common in autonomous web databases, on which user accesses are usually supported through media...
