With the growing number and increasing availability of shared-use instruments and observatories, observational data is becoming an essential part of application workflows and contributor to scientific discoveries in a range of disciplines.…
Recent advances have enabled the extraction of vectorized features from digital historical maps. To fully leverage this information, however, the extracted features must be organized in a structured and meaningful way that supports…
With the advent of internet services, data started growing faster than it can be processed. To personalize user experience, this enormous data has to be processed in real time, in interactive fashion. In order to achieve faster data…
Social media and online review platforms have become valuable sources for studying how people express opinions, report experiences, and respond to events across space. This work presents a practical guide to using user-generated social data…
Communicating complex system designs or scientific processes through text alone is inefficient and prone to ambiguity. A system that automatically generates scientific architecture diagrams from text with high semantic fidelity can be…
We consider the problem of distilling efficient network topologies for collective communications. We provide an algorithmic framework for constructing direct-connect topologies optimized for the latency vs. bandwidth trade-off associated…
This paper presents a family of algorithms for fast subset filtering within ordered sets of integers representing composite keys. Applications include significant acceleration of (ad-hoc) analytic queries against a data warehouse without…
Cultural heritage documentation induces the use of computerized techniques to manage and preserve the information produced. Geographical information systems have proved their potentialities in this scope, but they are not always adapted for…
Future terabit networks are committed to dramatically improving big data motion between geographically dispersed HPC data centers.The scientific community takes advantage of the terabit networks such as DOE's ESnet and accelerates the trend…
Motivation: Storage of genomic data is a major cost for the Life Sciences, effectively addressed mostly via specialized data compression methods. For the same reasons of abundance in data production, the use of Big Data technologies is seen…
High-definition (HD) maps are essential for autonomous driving systems. Traditionally, an expensive and labor-intensive pipeline is implemented to construct HD maps, which is limited in scalability. In recent years, crowdsourcing and online…
A vast amount of geographic information exists in natural language texts, such as tweets and news. Extracting geographic information from texts is called Geoparsing, which includes two subtasks: toponym recognition and toponym…
In era of ever-expanding data and knowledge, we lack a centralized system that maps all the faculties to their research works. This problem has not been addressed in the past and it becomes challenging for students to connect with the right…
Recently we create so much data (2.5 quintillion bytes every day) that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone [1]. This data comes from sensors used to gather traffic or climate information, posts to…
A pressing challenge in current dialogue systems is to successfully converse with users on topics with information distributed across different modalities. Previous work in multiturn dialogue systems has primarily focused on either text or…
MapReduce (MR) is the most popular solution to build applications for large-scale data processing. These applications are often deployed on large clusters of commodity machines, where failures happen constantly due to bugs, hardware…
Applications such as web search and social networking have been moving from centralized to decentralized cloud architectures to improve their scalability. MapReduce, a programming framework for processing large amounts of data using…
Mobile crowdsourcing has become easier thanks to the widespread of smartphones capable of seamlessly collecting and pushing the desired data to cloud services. However, the success of mobile crowdsourcing relies on balancing the supply and…
A public dataset, with a variety of properties suitable for sentiment analysis [1], event prediction, trend detection and other text mining applications, is needed in order to be able to successfully perform analysis studies. The vast…
Accurate modeling and explaining geospatial tabular data (GTD) are critical for understanding geospatial phenomena and their underlying processes. Recent work has proposed a novel transformer-based deep learning model named GeoAggregator…
