Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly tasked with complex real-world analysis (e.g., in financial forecasting, scientific discovery), yet their reasoning suffers from stochastic instability and lacks a verifiable, compositional…
One of the purposes of Big Data systems is to support analysis of data gathered from heterogeneous data sources. Since data warehouses have been used for several decades to achieve the same goal, they could be leveraged also to provide…
Data scientists today search large data lakes to discover and integrate datasets. In order to bring together disparate data sources, dataset discovery methods rely on some form of schema matching: the process of establishing correspondences…
In the article, an experiment is aimed at clarifying the transfer efficiency of the database in the cloud infrastructure. The system was added to the control unit, which has guided the database search in the local part or in the cloud. It…
This paper describes ongoing work on developing a formal specification of a database backend. We present the formalisation of the expected behaviour of a basic transactional system that calls into a simple store API, and instantiate in two…
With the increasing popularity of recommendation systems (RecSys), the demand for compute resources in datacenters has surged. However, the model-wise resource allocation employed in current RecSys model serving architectures falls short in…
Over the past 10 years, many recommendation techniques have been based on embedding users and items in latent vector spaces, where the inner product of a (user,item) pair of vectors represents the predicted affinity of the user to the item.…
This keynote paper: (1) presents the 21st century vision of computing and identifies various IT paradigms promising to deliver computing as a utility; (2) defines the architecture for creating market-oriented Clouds and computing atmosphere…
Cloud-based visualization services have made visual analytics accessible to a much wider audience than ever before. Systems such as Tableau have started to amass increasingly large repositories of analytical knowledge in the form of…
The evaluation of synthetic data generation is crucial, especially in the retail sector where data accuracy is paramount. This paper introduces a comprehensive framework for assessing synthetic retail data, focusing on fidelity, utility,…
Tables form a central component in both exploratory data analysis and formal reporting procedures across many industries. These tables are often complex in their conceptual structure and in the computations that generate their individual…
The evolution of agentic systems represents a significant milestone in artificial intelligence and modern software systems, driven by the demand for vertical intelligence tailored to diverse industries. These systems enhance business…
The rise of the programmable web offers new opportunities for the empirically driven social sciences. The access, compilation and preparation of data from the programmable web for statistical analysis can, however, involve substantial…
Extracting valuable insights from vast amounts of information is a critical process that involves acquiring, storing, managing, analyzing, and visualizing data. Providing an abstract overview of data analytics applications is crucial to…
Today, container-based virtualization is very popular due to the lightweight nature of containers and the ability to use them flexibly in various heterogeneously composed systems. This makes it possible to collaboratively develop services…
Applying security as a lifecycle practice is becoming increasingly important to combat targeted attacks in safety-critical systems. Among others there are two significant challenges in this area: (1) the need for models that can…
Data integration is a long-standing interest of the data management community and has many disparate applications, including business, science and government. We have recently witnessed impressive results in specific data integration tasks,…
It is well-known that cloud application performance critically depends on the network. Accordingly, new abstractions for cloud applications are proposed which extend the performance isolation guarantees to the network. The most common…
We present Ver, a data discovery system that identifies project-join views over large repositories of tables that do not contain join path information, and even when input queries are inaccurate. Ver implements a reference architecture to…
The areas of machine learning and knowledge discovery in databases have considerably matured in recent years. In this article, we briefly review recent developments as well as classical algorithms that stood the test of time. Our goal is to…
