The table below lists the 30 term bursts of highest weight in paper titles from the database conferences SIGMOD and VLDB, 1975-2001. Bursts were computed using a 2-state model in which the high state had twice the rate of the low state.

See the paper

for further details on the model and analysis, or return to the top-level page for additional sample results from the algorithm.
