Data stream applications have made use of statistical summaries to reason about the data using nonparametric tools such as histograms, heavy hitters, and join sizes. However, rela...
We revisit the classical chase procedure, studying its properties as well as its applicability to standard database problems. We settle (in the negative) the open problem of decid...
In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
Data classification is usually based on measurements recorded at the same time. This paper considers temporal data classification where the input is a temporal database that descri...
The variation of illumination conditions of an object can produce large changes in the image plane, significantly impairing the performance of face verification algorithms. We pre...
