Many state-of-the-art selectivity estimation methods use query feedback to maintain histogram buckets, thereby using the limited memory efficiently. However, they are "reacti...
The work described here initially formed part of a triangulation exercise to establish the effectiveness of the Query Term Order algorithm. The methodology produced subsequently p...
The issue of ®nding similar 3-D surface segments arises in many recent applications of spatial database systems, such as molecular biology, medical imaging, CAD, and geographic i...
In this paper, we exploit a novel ranking mechanism that processes query samples with noisy labels, motivated by the practical application of web image search re-ranking where the...
We study the problem of context-sensitive ranking for document retrieval, where a context is defined as a sub-collection of documents, and is specified by queries provided by do...
