Skyline queries have been widely used as a practical tool for multi-criteria decision analysis and for applications involving preference queries. For example, in a typical online retail application, skyline queries can help customers select…
Restricted skyline (rskyline) query is widely used in multi-criteria decision making. It generalizes the skyline query by additionally considering a set of personalized scoring functions F. Since uncertainty is inherent in datasets for…
Ranking (or top-k) and skyline queries are the most popular approaches used to extract interesting data from large datasets. The first one is based on a scoring function to evaluate and rank tuples. Its computation is fast, but it is…
Given a graph, and a set of query vertices (subset of the vertices), the dynamic skyline query problem returns a subset of data vertices (other than query vertices) which are not dominated by other data vertices based on certain distance…
Skyline is widely used in reality to solve multi-criteria problems, such as environmental monitoring and business decision-making. When a data is not worse than another data on all criteria and is better than another data at least one…
Skyline and ranking queries are two of the most used tools to manage large data sets. The former is based on non-dominance, while the latter on a scoring function. Despite their effectiveness, they have some drawbacks like the result size…
The astounding success of these methods has made it imperative to obtain more explainable and trustworthy estimates from these models. In hydrology, basin characteristics can be noisy or missing, impacting streamflow prediction. For solving…
Skyline and Ranking queries have gained great popularity in the recent years. These two techniques are crucial for multi-criteria decision support applications, which are now more popular than ever before. Skyline and Ranking queries are,…
Tree-based ensemble methods, as Random Forests and Gradient Boosted Trees, have been successfully used for regression in many applications and research studies. Furthermore, these methods have been extended in order to deal with uncertainty…
Nowadays, as the quantity of data to process began to rise, so did the need for a method to discern what pieces of information could be useful for the user; in response, researchers focused their efforts on improving the already existing…
Skyline queries are popular and effective tools in multi-criteria decision support as they extract interesting (pareto-optimal) points that help summarize the available data with respect to a given set of preference attributes.…
The techniques most extensively used to retrieve interesting data from data-sets are the Skyline and the Top-k queries. Sadly, they are not enough for facing modern problems, so the needing of something more usable and reliable has come. In…
Sales pipeline analysis is fundamental to proactive management of an enterprize's sales pipeline and critical for business success. In particular, win propensity prediction, which involves quantitatively estimating the likelihood that…
Recent studies pointed out some limitations about classic top-k queries and skyline queries. Ranking queries impose the user to provide a specific scoring function, which can lead to the exclusion of interesting results because of the…
Living in the Information Age allows almost everyone have access to a large amount of information and options to choose from in order to fulfill their needs. In many cases, the amount of information available and the rate of change may hide…
We deliver a call to arms for probabilistic numerical methods: algorithms for numerical tasks, including linear algebra, integration, optimization and solving differential equations, that return uncertainties in their calculations. Such…
Quantifying uncertainty is important for actionable predictions in real-world applications. A crucial part of predictive uncertainty quantification is the estimation of epistemic uncertainty, which is defined as an integral of the product…
The task of similarity search in multimedia databases is usually accomplished by range or k nearest neighbor queries. However, the expressing power of these "single-example" queries fails when the user's delicate query intent is not…
In hydrology, modeling streamflow remains a challenging task due to the limited availability of basin characteristics information such as soil geology and geomorphology. These characteristics may be noisy due to measurement errors or may be…
