We propose a novel probabilistic method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to learn the structure of a Latent Variable Model (LVM) for query language modeling. In the proposed...
: Over the last decade, due to the rapid developments in information technology (IT), a new breed of information systems has appeared such as geographic information systems that in...
Role-based access control is a standard mechanism in information systems. Based on the role a user has, certain information is kept from the user even if requested. For ontologies ...
Remotely sensed data, in particular satellite imagery, play many important roles in environmental applications and models. In particular applications that study (rapid) changes in...
In this paper we provide a fast, data-driven solution to the failing query problem: given a query that returns an empty answer, how can one relax the query's constraints so t...
