In XML search systems twig queries specify predicates on node values and on the structural relationships between nodes, and a key operation is to join individual query node matche...
In this paper we describe a new efficient (in fact optimal) data structure for the top-K color problem. Each element of an array A is assigned a color c with priority p(c). For a ...
We motivate and analyse a new Tree Search algorithm, based on recent advances in the use of Gaussian Processes for bandit problems. We assume that the function to maximise on the ...
Two notions of optimality have been explored in previous work on hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL): hierarchical optimality, or the optimal policy in the space defined by ...
Market analysis is a representative data analysis process with many applications. In such an analysis, critical numerical measures, such as profit and sales, fluctuate over time a...
