To summarize, triple graph grammars are a new formalism for the specification of complex interdependencies between separate and, in general, quite different graph-like data structures. Comparing them with previously suggested formalisms for the specification of data transformations they have the following advantages: • The underlying data model are graphs and not trees as e. • The same specific...

Given a collection of objects that carry both spatial and textual information, a spatio-textual similarity join retrieves the pairs of objects that are spatially close and textually similar. As an example, consider a social network with spatially and textually tagged persons (i.e., their locations and profiles). A useful task (for friendship recommendation) would be to find pairs of persons tha...

The REVERB challenge provides a common framework for the evaluation of feature extraction techniques in the presence of both reverberation and additive background noise. State-of-the-art speech recognition systems perform well in controlled environments, but their performance degrades in realistic acoustical conditions, especially in real as well as simulated reverberant environments. In this c...

A pair of RDF instances are said to corefer when they are intended to denote the same thing in the world, for example, when two nodes of type foaf:Person describe the same individual. This problem is central to integrating and inter-linking semi-structured datasets. We are developing an online, unsupervised coreference resolution framework for heterogeneous, semi-structured data. The online asp...

Emerging high-dimensional data mining applications needs to find interesting clusters embeded in arbitrarily aligned subspaces of lower dimensionality. It is difficult to cluster high-dimensional data objects, when they are sparse and skewed. Updations are quite common in dynamic databases and they are usually processed in batch mode. In very large dynamic databases, it is necessary to perform ...

Incremental data mining algorithms process frequent updates to dynamic datasets efficiently by avoiding redundant computation. Existing incremental extension to shared nearest neighbor density based clustering (SNND) algorithm cannot handle deletions to dataset and handles insertions only one point at a time. We present an incremental algorithm to overcome both these bottlenecks by efficiently ...

The need for secure data transactions has become a necessity of our time. Medical records, financial records, legal information and payment gateway are all in need of secure data transaction process. There have been several methods proposed to perform secure, fast and scalable data transactions in web services. As the web servers deals with the huge amount of query it becomes really difficult t...

Differential privacy is a promising privacy-preserving paradigm for statistical query processing over sensitive data. It works by injecting random noise into each query result, such that it is provably hard for the adversary to infer the presence or absence of any individual record from the published noisy results. The main objective in differentially private query processing is to maximize the...
