摘要:
The first fast solution to the problem of tracking wavelet representations of one-dimensional and multi-dimensional data streams based on a stream synopsis, the Group-Count Sketch (GCS) is provided. By imposing a hierarchical structure of groups over the data and applying the GCS, our algorithms can quickly recover the most important wavelet coefficients with guaranteed accuracy. A tradeoff between query time and update time is established, by varying the hierarchical structure of groups, allowing the right balance to be found for specific data streams. Experimental analysis confirmed this tradeoff, and showed that all the methods significantly outperformed previously known methods in terms of both update time and query time, while maintaining a high level of accuracy.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for determining a rank of a query value. Specifically, the method comprises receiving a rank query request, determining, for each of the at least one remote monitor, a predicted lower-bound rank value and upper-bound rank value, wherein the predicted lower-bound rank value and upper-bound rank value are determined according to at least one respective prediction model used by each of the at least one remote monitor to compute the at least one local quantile summary, computing a predicted average rank value for each of the at least one remote monitor using the at least one predicted lower-bound rank value and the at least one predicted upper-bound rank value associated with the respective at least one remote monitor, and computing the rank of the query value using the at least one predicted average rank value associated with the respective at least one remote monitor.
摘要:
A method of distributed approximate query tracking relies on tracking general-purpose randomized sketch summaries of local streams at remote sites along with concise prediction models of local site behavior in order to produce highly communication-efficient and space/time-efficient solutions. A powerful approximate query tracking framework readily incorporates several complex analysis queries, including distributed join and multi-join aggregates and approximate wavelet representations, thus giving the first known low-overhead tracking solution for such queries in the distributed-streams model.

A method and system for answering set-expression cardinality queries while lowering data communication costs by utilizing a coordinator site to provide global knowledge of the distribution of certain frequently occurring stream elements to significantly reduce the transmission of element state information to the central site and, optionally, capturing the semantics of the input set expression in a Boolean logic formula and using models of the formula to determine whether an element state change at a remote site can affect the set expression result.

The present invention provides a method and system for sequential pattern mining with a given constraint. A Regular Expression (RE) is used for identifying the family of interesting frequent patterns. A family of methods that enforce the RE constraint to different degrees within the generating and pruning of candidate patterns during the mining process is utilized. This is accomplished by employing different relaxations of the RE constraint in the mining loop. Those sequences which satisfy the given constraint are thus identified most expeditiously.

Novel, computationally efficient schemes for deterministic wavelet thresholding with the objective of optimizing maximum-error metrics are provided. An optimal low polynomial-time algorithm for one-dimensional wavelet thresholding based on a new dynamic-programming (DP) formulation is provided that can be employed to minimize the maximum relative or absolute error in the data reconstruction. Directly extending a one-dimensional DP algorithm to multi-dimensional wavelets results in a super-exponential increase in time complexity with the data dimensionality. Thus, novel, polynomial-time approximation schemes (with tunable approximation guarantees for the target maximum-error metric) for deterministic wavelet thresholding in multiple dimensions are also provided.

The present invention discloses a document descriptor extraction method and system. The document descriptor extraction method and system creates a document descriptor by generalizing input sequences within a document; factoring the input sequences and generalized input sequences; and selecting a document descriptor from the input sequences, generalized sequences, and factored sequences, preferably using minimum descriptor length (MDL) principles. Novel algorithms are employed to perform the generalizing, factoring, and selecting.

摘要:
Physical connectivity is determined between elements such as switches and routers in a multiple subnet communication network. Each element has one or more interfaces each of which is physically linked with an interface of another network element. Address sets are generated for each interface of the network elements, wherein members of a given address set correspond to network elements that can be reached from the corresponding interface for which the given address set was generated. The members of first address sets generated for corresponding interfaces of a given network element, are compared with the members of second address sets generated for corresponding interfaces of network elements other than the given element. A set of candidate connections between an interface of the given network element and one or more interfaces of other network elements, are determined. If more than one candidate connection is determined, connections with network elements that are in the same subnet as the given network element are eliminated from the set.
