摘要:
A method which identifies different types of substructures within a graph and encodes them using techniques suitable to the characteristics of each of them. The method is embodied by an efficient two-phase algorithm, where the first phase identifies and encodes strongly connected components as well as tree substructures, and the second phase encodes the remaining reachability relationships by compressing dense rectangular submatrices in the transitive closure matrix.

There is provided a method for determining reachability between any two nodes within a graph. The inventive method utilizes a dual-labeling scheme. Initially, a spanning tree is defined for a group of nodes within a graph. Each node in the spanning tree is assigned a unique interval-based label, that describes its dependency from an ancestor node. Non-tree labels are then assigned to each node in the spanning tree that is connected to another node in the spanning tree by a non-tree link. From these labels, reachability of any two nodes in the spanning tree is determined by using only the interval-based labels and the non-tree labels.

Arrangements and methods for providing for the efficient implementation of ranked keyword searches on graph-structured data. Since it is difficult to directly build indexes for general schemaless graphs, conventional techniques highly rely on graph traversal in running time. The previous lack of more knowledge about graphs also resulted in great difficulties in applying pruning techniques. To address these problems, there is introduced herein a new scoring function while the block is used as an intermediate access level; the result is an opportunity to create sophisticated indexes for keyword search. Also proposed herein is a cost-balanced expansion algorithm to conduct a backward search, which provides a good theoretical guarantee in terms of the search cost.

Methods and apparatus generate an index for use in a document retrieval system where the index is organized by type and keyword. Redundancy in the index is reduced by organizing type entries in a hierarchy of internal and leaf nodes. Determining whether to generate an inverted list for a type is based on the position of the type in the hierarchy; generally inverted lists are generated only for types corresponding to leaf nodes. Redundancy is further reduced by re-using inverted lists generated for keywords for types when there is an overlap between keywords and types. Search performance using the document retrieval index is improved by adding entries corresponding to combinations of keywords and types. The intersections of inverted lists associated with the keywords and types comprising the combinations are determined and added to the index for use in search operations. Determining whether to add an entry for a keyword-type combination is made on a cost-benefit analysis dependent, at least in part, on the proximity of the keyword to type in documents containing the combination.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for processing multi-way stream correlations. Stream data are received for correlation. A task is formed for continuously partitioning a multi-way stream correlation workload into smaller workload pieces. Each of the smaller workload pieces may be processed by a single host. The stream data are sent to different hosts for correlation processing.
摘要:
Most recent research of scalable inductive learning on very large streaming dataset focuses on eliminating memory constraints and reducing the number of sequential data scans. However, state-of-the-art algorithms still require multiple scans over the data set and use sophisticated control mechanisms and data structures. There is discussed herein a general inductive learning framework that scans the dataset exactly once. Then, there is proposed an extension based on Hoeffding's inequality that scans the dataset less than once. The proposed frameworks are applicable to a wide range of inductive learners.
摘要:
The present invention provides a ViST (or “virtual suffix tree”), which is a novel index structure for searching XML documents. By representing both XML documents and XML queries in structure-encoded sequences, it is shown that querying XML data is equivalent to finding (non-contiguous) subsequence matches. A variety of XML queries, including those with branches, or wild-cards (‘*’ and ‘//’), can be expressed by structure-encoded sequences. Unlike index methods that disassemble a query into multiple sub-queries, and then join the results of these sub-queries to provide the final answers, ViST uses tree structures as the basic unit of query to avoid expensive join operations. Furthermore, ViST provides a unified index on both content and structure of the XML documents, hence it has a performance advantage over methods indexing either just content or structure. ViST supports dynamic index update, and it relies solely on B+Trees without using any specialized data structures that are not well supported by common database management systems (hereinafter referred to as “DBMSs”).
摘要:
Sequence-based XML indexing aims at avoiding expensive join operations in query processing. It transforms structured XML data into sequences so that a structured query can be answered holistically through subsequence matching. Herein, there is addresed the problem of query equivalence with respect to this transformation, and thereis introduced a performance-oriented principle for sequencing tree structures. With query equivalence, XML queries can be performed through subsequence matching without join operations, post-processing, or other special handling for problems such as false alarms. There is identified a class of sequencing methods for this purpose, and there is presented a novel subsequence matching algorithm that observe query equivalence. Also introduced is a performance-oriented principle to guide the sequencing of tree structures. For any given XML dataset, the principle finds an optimal sequencing strategy according to its schema and its data distribution; there is thus presented herein a novel method that realizes this principle.
