In this paper we present a proposal for the implementation and evaluation of a novel method for automatically using data-rich text for filling form-based input interfaces. Our solution takes a text as input, extracts implicit data values from it and ...

Output URL bidding is a new bidding mechanism for sponsored search, where advertisers bid on search result URLs, as opposed to keywords in the input query. For example, an advertiser may want his ad to appear whenever the search result includes the sites ...

In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of Monte Carlo methods for incremental computation of PageRank, personalized PageRank, and similar random walk based methods (with focus on SALSA), on large-scale dynamically evolving social networks. We assume ...

Skyline queries have gained considerable attention for multi-criteria analysis of large-scale datasets. However, the skyline queries are known to return too many results for high-dimensional data. To address this problem, a skycube is introduced to ...

We present a new indexing method named ZINC (for Z-order Indexing with Nested Code) that supports efficient skyline computation for data with both totally and partially ordered attribute domains. The key innovation in ZINC is based on combining the ...
