Query by Committee

by H. S. Seung, M. Opper, H. Sompolinsky , 1992
"... We propose an algorithm called query by committee, in which a committee of students is trained on the same data set. The next query is chosen according to the principle of maximal disagreement. The algorithm is studied for two toy models: the high-low game and perceptron learning of another perceptr ..."

gain approaches zero and the generalization error decreases with a relatively slow inverse power law. We suggest that asymptotically finite information gain may be an important characteristic of good query algorithms.

Nearest neighbor queries.

by Nick Roussopoulos , Stephen Kelley , Fr Ed , Eric Vincent - ACM SIGMOD Record, , 1995
"... Abstract A frequently encountered type of query in Geographic Information Systems is to nd the k nearest neighbor objects to a given point in space. Processing such queries requires substantially di erent search algorithms than those for location or range queries. In this paper we present a n e cie ..."

Greed is Good: Algorithmic Results for Sparse Approximation

by Joel A. Tropp , 2004
"... This article presents new results on using a greedy algorithm, orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP), to solve the sparse approximation problem over redundant dictionaries. It provides a sufficient condition under which both OMP and Donoho’s basis pursuit (BP) paradigm can recover the optimal representa ..."

Query evaluation techniques for large databases

by Goetz Graefe - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1993
"... Database management systems will continue to manage large data volumes. Thus, efficient algorithms for accessing and manipulating large sets and sequences will be required to provide acceptable performance. The advent of object-oriented and extensible database systems will not solve this problem. On ..."

. On the contrary, modern data models exacerbate it: In order to manipulate large sets of complex objects as efficiently as today’s database systems manipulate simple records, query processing algorithms and software will become more complex, and a solid understanding of algorithm and architectural issues

Good features to track

by Jianbo Shi, Carlo Tomasi , 1994
"... No feature-based vision system can work unless good features can be identified and tracked from frame to frame. Although tracking itself is by and large a solved problem, selecting features that can be tracked well and correspond to physical points in the world is still hard. We propose a feature se ..."

Answering Queries Using Views: A Survey

by Alon Y. Halevy , 2000
"... The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously defined materialized views over the database, rather than accessing the database relations. The problem has recently received significant attention because of its relevance to a w ..."
Abstract - Cited by 562 (32 self) - Add to MetaCart
surveys the state of the art on the problem of answering queries using views, and synthesizes the disparate works into a coherent framework. We describe the different applications of the problem, the algorithms proposed to solve it and the relevant theoretical results.

DataGuides: Enabling Query Formulation and Optimization in Semistructured Databases

by Roy Goldman, Jennifer Widom , 1997
"... In semistructured databases there is no schema fixed in advance. To provide the benefits of a schema in such environments, we introduce DataGuides: concise and accurate structural summaries of semistructured databases. DataGuides serve as dynamic schemas, generated from the database; they are ..."
Abstract - Cited by 572 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
; they are useful for browsing database structure, formulating queries, storing information such as statistics and sample values, and enabling query optimization. This paper presents the theoretical foundations of DataGuides along with an algorithm for their creation and an overview of incremental maintenance

On Spectral Clustering: Analysis and an algorithm

by Andrew Y. Ng, Michael I. Jordan, Yair Weiss - ADVANCES IN NEURAL INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS , 2001
"... Despite many empirical successes of spectral clustering methods -- algorithms that cluster points using eigenvectors of matrices derived from the distances between the points -- there are several unresolved issues. First, there is a wide variety of algorithms that use the eigenvectors in slightly ..."

Efficient Variants of the ICP Algorithm

by Szymon Rusinkiewicz, Marc Levoy - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON 3-D DIGITAL IMAGING AND MODELING , 2001
"... The ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm is widely used for geometric alignment of three-dimensional models when an initial estimate of the relative pose is known. Many variants of ICP have been proposed, affecting all phases of the algorithm from the selection and matching of points to the minim ..."

An Efficient Boosting Algorithm for Combining Preferences

by Raj Dharmarajan Iyer , Jr. , 1999
"... The problem of combining preferences arises in several applications, such as combining the results of different search engines. This work describes an efficient algorithm for combining multiple preferences. We first give a formal framework for the problem. We then describe and analyze a new boosting ..."
