As the content on the Internet continues to grow, many new dynamically changing and heterogeneous sources of data constantly emerge. A conventional search engine cannot crawl and index at the same pace as the expansion of the Internet.…
Much of the world's most valued data is stored in relational databases and data warehouses, where the data is organized into many tables connected by primary-foreign key relations. However, building machine learning models using this data…
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical semantic overlay network for searching heterogeneous data over wide-area networks. In this system, data are represented as RDF triples based on ontologies. Peers that have the same semantics are…
Visual design is critical to product success, and the subject of intensive marketing research effort. Yet visual elements, due to their holistic and interactive nature, do not lend themselves well to optimization using extant…
Deep neural networks (DNNs), while increasingly deployed in many applications, struggle with robustness against anomalous and out-of-distribution (OOD) data. Current OOD benchmarks often oversimplify, focusing on single-object tasks and not…
A common phenomena in modern recommendation systems is the use of feedback from one user to infer the `value' of an item to other users. This results in an exploration vs. exploitation trade-off, in which items of possibly low value have to…
The subgraph isomorphism finding problem is a well-studied problem in the field of computer science and graph theory, and it aims to enumerate all instances of a query graph in the respective data graph. In this paper, we propose an…
Recommender system exists everywhere in the business world. From Goodreads to TikTok, customers of internet products become more addicted to the products thanks to the technology. Industrial practitioners focus on increasing the technical…
In the Upper Degree-Constrained Partial Orientation problem we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, together with two degree constraint functions $d^-,d^+ : V \to \mathbb{N}$. The goal is to orient as many edges as possible, in such a…
We present ONION, a multi-layered framework for participatory Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling that integrates insights from design justice, participatory AI, and conceptual modeling. ONION introduces a five-stage methodology: Observe,…
Given a large social or computer network, how can we visualize it, find patterns, outliers, communities? Although several graph visualization tools exist, they cannot handle large graphs with hundred thousand nodes and possibly million…
The widespread use of charts and infographics as a means of data visualization in various domains has inspired recent research in automated chart understanding. However, information extraction from chart images is a complex multitasked…
Dynamic graphs with ordered sequences of events between nodes are prevalent in real-world industrial applications such as e-commerce and social platforms. However, representation learning for dynamic graphs has posed great computational…
Graph partition is a key component to achieve workload balance and reduce job completion time in parallel graph processing systems. Among the various partition strategies, edge partition has demonstrated more promising performance in…
The importance of a node in a directed graph can be measured by its PageRank. The PageRank of a node is used in a number of application contexts - including ranking websites - and can be interpreted as the average portion of time spent at…
Graph analytics attract much attention from both research and industry communities. Due to the linear time complexity, the $k$-core decomposition is widely used in many real-world applications such as biology, social networks, community…
We present AutoOptimization, a novel multi-objective optimization framework for adapting user interfaces. From a user's verbal preferences for changing a UI, our framework guides a prioritization-based Pareto frontier search over candidate…
In this work, we propose Oph-Guid-RAG, a multimodal visual RAG system for ophthalmology clinical question answering and decision support. We treat each guideline page as an independent evidence unit and directly retrieve page images,…
The graph database (GDB) is an increasingly common storage model for data involving relationships between entries. Beyond its widespread usage in database industries, the advantages of GDBs indicate a strong potential in constructing…
Visual design tasks often involve tuning many design parameters. For example, color grading of a photograph involves many parameters, some of which non-expert users might be unfamiliar with. We propose a novel user-in-the-loop optimization…
