Citations are the cornerstone of knowledge propagation and the primary means of assessing the quality of research, as well as directing investments in science. Science is increasingly becoming "data-intensive", where large volumes of data…
Traditional fact checking by expert journalists cannot keep up with the enormous volume of information that is now generated online. Computational fact checking may significantly enhance our ability to evaluate the veracity of dubious…
Recently, link prediction algorithms based on neural embeddings have gained tremendous popularity in the Semantic Web community, and are extensively used for knowledge graph completion. While algorithmic advances have strongly focused on…
Efficient extraction of useful knowledge from these data is still a challenge, mainly when the data is distributed, heterogeneous and of different quality depending on its corresponding local infrastructure. To reduce the overhead cost,…
Quantifying the similarity between two mathematical structures or datasets constitutes a particularly interesting and useful operation in several theoretical and applied problems. Aimed at this specific objective, the Jaccard index has been…
Seamless redundancy can be profitably exploited to improve predictability of wireless networks in general and, in particular, IEEE 802.11. According to this approach, packets are transmitted by senders on two (or more) channels at the same…
Recently, numerous promising results have shown that updatable learned indexes can perform better than traditional indexes with much lower memory space consumption. But it is unknown how these learned indexes compare against each other and…
Centrality is an important notion in network analysis and is used to measure the degree to which network structure contributes to the importance of a node in a network. While many different centrality measures exist, most of them apply to…
Organisations often struggle to identify the causes of change in metrics such as product quality and delivery duration. This task becomes increasingly challenging when the cause lies outside of company borders in multi-echelon supply chains…
In disseminating scientific and statistical data, on-line databases have almost completely replaced traditional paper-based media such as journals and reference works. Given this, can we measure the impact of a database in the same way that…
In this paper, we explore how modifying data to preserve privacy affects the quality of the patterns discoverable in the data. For any analysis of modified data to be worth doing, the data must be as close to the original as possible.…
Almost all real-world networks are subject to constant evolution, and plenty of evolving networks have been investigated to uncover the underlying mechanisms for a deeper understanding of the organization and development of them. Compared…
Pairwise comparisons are a well-known method for the representation of the subjective preferences of a decision maker. Evaluating their inconsistency has been a widely studied and discussed topic and several indices have been proposed in…
The problem of node-similarity in networks has motivated a plethora of such measures between node-pairs, which make use of the underlying graph structure. However, higher-order relations cannot be losslessly captured by mere graphs and…
Distance queries are a basic tool in data analysis. They are used for detection and localization of change for the purpose of anomaly detection, monitoring, or planning. Distance queries are particularly useful when data sets such as…
Joint caching and recommendation has been recently proposed as a new paradigm for increasing the efficiency of mobile edge caching. Early findings demonstrate significant gains for the network performance. However, previous works evaluated…
While detailed resource usage monitoring is possible on the low-level using proper tools, associating such usage with higher-level abstractions in the application layer that actually cause the resource usage in the first place presents a…
In many real-world database systems, a large fraction of the data is represented by strings: sequences of letters over some alphabet. This is because strings can easily encode data arising from different sources. It is often crucial to…
The increased prevalence of observational data and the need to integrate information from multiple sources are critical challenges in contemporary data analysis. Record linkage is a widely used tool for combining datasets in the absence of…
Indexes are models: a B-Tree-Index can be seen as a model to map a key to the position of a record within a sorted array, a Hash-Index as a model to map a key to a position of a record within an unsorted array, and a BitMap-Index as a model…
