The Data Aggregation Problem occurs when a large collection of data takes on a higher security level than any of its individual component records. Traditional approaches of breaking up the data and restricting access on a "need to know"…
We study the problem of data integration from sources that contain probabilistic uncertain information. Data is modeled by possible-worlds with probability distribution, compactly represented in the probabilistic relation model. Integration…
Open Government Data (OGD) plays a pivotal role in fostering data-driven innovation and sustainability across various sectors. Despite its potential, many public organizations are reluctant to share their data openly. While existing…
Nowadays open data is entering the mainstream - it is free available for every stakeholder and is often used in business decision-making. It is important to be sure data is trustable and error-free as its quality problems can lead to huge…
In recent years, crowdsourcing, aka human aided computation has emerged as an effective platform for solving problems that are considered complex for machines alone. Using human is time-consuming and costly due to monetary compensations.…
WOD-2012 aims at facilitating new trends and ideas from a broad range of topics concerned within the widely-spread Open Data movement, from the viewpoint of computer science research. While being most commonly known from the recent Linked…
Data harvesting and profiling have become a de facto business model for many businesses in the digital economy. The surveillance of individual persons through their use of private sector platforms has a well-understood effect on personal…
Data commons collate data with cloud computing infrastructure and commonly used software services, tools and applications to create biomedical resources for the large-scale management, analysis, harmonization, and sharing of biomedical…
Large public knowledge graphs, like Wikidata, contain billions of statements about tens of millions of entities, thus inspiring various use cases to exploit such knowledge graphs. However, practice shows that much of the relevant…
With the increased interest in machine learning and big data problems, the need for large amounts of labelled data has also grown. However, it is often infeasible to get experts to label all of this data, which leads many practitioners to…
"Data" is becoming an indispensable production factor, just like land, infrastructure, labor or capital. As part of this, a myriad of applications in different sectors require huge amounts of information to feed models and algorithms…
With the ever-increasing range of applications of Internet in Things (IoT) and sensor networks, challenges are emerging in various categories of classification tasks. Applications such as vehicular networking, UAV swarm coordination and…
The unprecedented demand for large amount of data has catalyzed the trend of combining human insights with machine learning techniques, which facilitate the use of crowdsourcing to enlist label information both effectively and efficiently.…
Studies show that neural networks, not unlike traditional programs, are subject to bugs, e.g., adversarial samples that cause classification errors and discriminatory instances that demonstrate the lack of fairness. Given that neural…
The advent of the digital age has led to a rise in different types of data with every passing day. In fact, it is expected that half of the total data will be on the cloud by 2016. This data is complex and needs to be stored, processed and…
Generating value from data requires the ability to find, access and make sense of datasets. There are many efforts underway to encourage data sharing and reuse, from scientific publishers asking authors to submit data alongside manuscripts…
In many machine learning for healthcare tasks, standard datasets are constructed by amassing data across many, often fundamentally dissimilar, sources. But when does adding more data help, and when does it hinder progress on desired model…
This paper reviews recent advances in big data optimization, providing the state-of-art of this emerging field. The main focus in this review are optimization techniques being applied in big data analysis environments. Integer linear…
Publicly available data from open sources (e.g., United States Census Bureau (Census), World Health Organization (WHO), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)) are vital resources for policy makers, students and researchers across…
The advent of the big data paradigm has transformed how industries manage and analyze information, ushering in an era of unprecedented data volume, velocity, and variety. Within this landscape, mixed-data clustering has become a critical…
