Inf-datalog, Modal Logic and Complexities

Eugénie Foustoucos, Irène Guessarian (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Inf-Datalog extends the usual least fixpoint semantics of Datalog with greatest fixpoint semantics: we defined inf-Datalog and characterized the expressive power of various fragments of inf-Datalog in [CITE]. In the present paper, we study the complexity of query evaluation on finite models for (various fragments of) inf-Datalog. We deduce a unified and elementary proof that global model-checking (i.e. computing all nodes satisfying a formula in a given structure) has 1. quadratic data complexity...

Knowledge bases and automorphic equivalence of multi-models versus linear spaces and graphs

Marina Knyazhansky, Tatjana Plotkin (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

The paper considers an algebraic notion of automorphic equivalence of models and of multi-models. It is applied to the solution of the problem of informational equivalence of knowledge bases. We show that in the case of linear subjects of knowledge the problem can be reduced to the well-known in computational group theory problems about isomorphism and conjugacy of subgroups of a general linear group.

Learning imprecise semantic concepts from image databases.

Daniel Sánchez, Jesús Chamorro-Martínez (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

In this paper we introduce a model to represent high-level semantic concepts that can be perceived in images. The concepts are learned and represented by means of a set of association rules that relate the presence of perceptual features to the fulfillment of a concept for a set of images. Since both the set of images where a perceptual feature appears and the set of images fulfilling a given concept are fuzzy, we use in fact fuzzy association rules for the learning model. The concepts so acquired...

Methods for Investigation of Dependencies between Attributes in Databases

Georgieva, Tsvetanka (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

This paper surveys research in the field of data mining, which is related to discovering the dependencies between attributes in databases. We consider a number of approaches to finding the distribution intervals of association rules, to discovering branching dependencies between a given set of attributes and a given attribute in a database relation, to finding fractional dependencies between a given set of attributes and a given attribute in a database relation, and to collaborative filtering.

Nested Sibling Tree Automata

Françoise Gire, Jean-Marc Talbot (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

In the XML standard, data are represented as unranked labeled ordered trees. Regular unranked tree automata provide a useful formalism for the validation of schemas enforcing regular structural constraints on XML documents. However some concrete application contexts need the expression of more general constraints than the regular ones. In this paper we propose a new framework in which context-free style structural constraints can be expressed and validated. This framework is characterized by: (i)...

On Core XPath with Inflationary Fixed Points

Loredana Afanasiev, Balder Ten Cate (2013)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We prove the undecidability of Core XPath 1.0 (CXP) [G. Gottlob and C. Koch, in Proc. of 17th Ann. IEEE Symp. on Logic in Computer Science, LICS ’02 (Copenhagen, July 2002). IEEE CS Press (2002) 189–202.] extended with an Inflationary Fixed Point (IFP) operator. More specifically, we prove that the satisfiability problem of this language is undecidable. In fact, the fragment of CXP+IFP containing only the self and descendant axes is already undecidable.

On problems of databases over a fixed infinite universe

Oleg Belegradek, Alexei Stolboushkin, Michael Taitslin (1999)

Banach Center Publications

In the relational model of databases a database state is thought of as a finite collection of relations between elements. For many applications it is convenient to pre-fix an infinite domain where the finite relations are going to be defined. Often, we also fix a set of domain functions and/or relations. These functions/relations are infinite by their nature. Some special problems arise if we use such an approach. In the paper we discuss some of the problems. We show that there exists a recursive...
