Text is a pervasive information type, and many applications require querying over text sources in addition to structured data. This paper studies the problem of query processing i...
Motivatedby the analysis of known parallel techniques for the solution of linear tridiagonal system, we introduce generalized scans, a class of recursively de ned lengthpreserving...

Many real-world data mining tasks require the achievement of two distinct goals when applied to unseen data: first, to induce an accurate preference ranking, and second to give g...
Often one has a preference order among the different systems that satisfy a given specification. Under a probabilistic assumption about the possible inputs, such a preference order...
