When applying blind relevance feedback for ad hoc document retrieval, is it possible to identify, a priori, the set of query terms that will most improve retrieval performance? Ca...
A challenging question is how XML can be used to support distributed databases. This leads to the problem of how to obtain a suitable, cost-efficient distribution design for XML do...
Existing work for query processing over graph data models often relies on pre-computing the transitive closure or path indexes. In this paper, we propose a family of stack-based a...
We investigate the typechecking problem for XML queries: statically verifying that every answer to a query conforms to a given output schema, for inputs satisfying a given input sc...
We consider the problem of testing functions for the property of being a k-junta (i.e., of depending on at most k variables). Fischer, Kindler, Ron, Safra, and Samorodnitsky (J. Co...
