Reachability and Connectivity Queries in Constraint Databases
"... It is known that standard query languages for constraint databases lack the power to express connectivity properties. Such properties are important in the context of geographical databases, where one naturally wishes to ask queries about connectivity (what are the connected components of a given set ..."

Property Testing and its connection to Learning and Approximation
"... We study the question of determining whether an unknown function has a particular property or is ffl-far from any function with that property. A property testing algorithm is given a sample of the value of the function on instances drawn according to some distribution, and possibly may query the fun ..."

Optimizing Search Engines using Clickthrough Data
, 2002
"... This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system should present relevant documents high in the ranking, with less relevant documents following below. While previous approaches ..."

approaches to learning retrieval functions from examples exist, they typically require training data generated from relevance judgments by experts. This makes them difficult and expensive to apply. The goal of this paper is to develop a method that utilizes clickthrough data for training, namely the query
Probabilistic Roadmaps for Path Planning in High-Dimensional Configuration Spaces
- IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION
, 1996
"... A new motion planning method for robots in static workspaces is presented. This method proceeds in two phases: a learning phase and a query phase. In the learning phase, a probabilistic roadmap is constructed and stored as a graph whose nodes correspond to collision-free configurations and whose edg ..."

edges correspond to feasible paths between these configurations. These paths are computed using a simple and fast local planner. In the query phase, any given start and goal configurations of the robot are connected to two nodes of the roadmap; the roadmap is then searched for a path joining these two
Improved algorithms for topic distillation in a hyperlinked environment
- In SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval
, 1998
"... Abstract This paper addresses the problem of topic distillation on the World Wide Web, namely, given a typical user query to find quality documents related to the query topic. Connectivity analysis has been shown to be useful in identifying high quality pages within a topic specific graph of hyperli ..."

EsdRank: Connecting Query and Documents through External Semi-Structured Data
"... ABSTRACT This paper presents EsdRank, a new technique for improving ranking using external semi-structured data such as controlled vocabularies and knowledge bases. EsdRank treats vocabularies, terms and entities from external data, as objects connecting query and documents. Evidence used to link q ..."

Efficient Processing of Group-Oriented Connection Queries in a Large Graph
"... We study query processing in large graphs that are fundamental data model underpinning various social networks and Web structures. Given a set of query nodes, we aim to find the groups which the query nodes belong to, as well as the best connection among the groups. Such a query is useful to many ap ..."

Complexity of finding embeddings in a k-tree
- SIAM JOURNAL OF DISCRETE MATHEMATICS
, 1987
"... A k-tree is a graph that can be reduced to the k-complete graph by a sequence of removals of a degree k vertex with completely connected neighbors. We address the problem of determining whether a graph is a partial graph of a k-tree. This problem is motivated by the existence of polynomial time al ..."
