  • Principles of Variational Databases

    Creator:
    Ataei, Parisa S.
    Abstract:
    Data variations are prevalent in real-world applications. For example, software vendors have to handle numerous variations in the business requirements, conventions, and environmental settings of a software product. In database-backed software, the database of each version may have a different schema and content. As another example, data scientists often need...

  • Relational Learning over Dirty Data Using Data Constraints

    Creator:
    Lee, Ga Young
    Abstract:
    Real-world datasets are dirty and contain many errors. Examples of these issues are violations of integrity constraints, duplicates, and inconsistencies in representing data values and entities. Applying machine learning on dirty databases may lead to inaccurate results. Users have to spend a lot of time and effort repairing data errors...

  • Representationally Robust and Scalable Learning over Relational Databases

    Creator:
    Picado Leiva, Jose Manuel
    Abstract:
    Learning novel concepts from relational databases is an important problem with applications in several disciplines, such as data management, natural language processing, and bioinformatics. For a learning algorithm to be effective, the input data should be clean and in some desired representation. However, real-world data is usually heterogeneous – the...

  • Redesigning the Structure and Access Paths of Databases for Effective and Efficient Query Processing

    Creator:
    Ghadakchi, Vahid
    Abstract:
    Many database users are not familiar with formal query languages, the concept of schema, or the exact content of their database. Thus, it is challenging for these users to formulate their information needs over semi-structured and structured databases. To address this problem, researchers have proposed usable query interfaces over which...
