Efficiently retrieving relevant data from massive Internet of Things (IoT) networks is essential for downstream tasks such as machine learning. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a novel data sourcing protocol that combines…
In recent years, studying and predicting alternative mobility (e.g., sharing services) patterns in urban environments has become increasingly important as accurate and timely information on current and future vehicle flows can successfully…
Big data trend has enforced the data-centric systems to have continuous fast data streams. In recent years, real-time analytics on stream data has formed into a new research field, which aims to answer queries about what-is-happening-now…
Spatial data is ubiquitous. Massive amounts of data are generated every day from a plethora of sources such as billions of GPS-enabled devices (e.g., cell phones, cars, and sensors), consumer-based applications (e.g., Uber and Strava), and…
The time at which a message is communicated is a vital piece of metadata in many real-world natural language processing tasks such as Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT). TDT systems aim to cluster a corpus of news articles by event, and in…
Federated learning has emerged as a new paradigm of collaborative machine learning; however, many prior studies have used global aggregation along a star topology without much consideration of the communication scalability or the diurnal…
Due to the ubiquity of spatial data applications and the large amounts of spatial data that these applications generate and process, there is a pressing need for scalable spatial query processing. In this paper, we present new techniques…
A widely used approach to clustering a single data stream is the two-phased approach in which the online phase creates and maintains micro-clusters while the off-line phase generates the macro-clustering from the micro-clusters. We use this…
While transformers have pioneered attention-driven architectures as a cornerstone of language modeling, their dependence on explicitly contextual information underscores limitations in their abilities to tacitly learn overarching textual…
A key challenge in mining social media data streams is to identify events which are actively discussed by a group of people in a specific local or global area. Such events are useful for early warning for accident, protest, election or…
The unprecedented use of social media through smartphones and other web-enabled mobile devices has enabled the rapid adoption of platforms like Twitter. Event detection has found many applications on the web, including breaking news…
The importance of geo-spatial data in critical applications such as emergency response, transportation, agriculture etc., has prompted the adoption of recent GeoSPARQL standard in many RDF processing engines. In addition to large…
Many social media researchers and data scientists collected geo-tagged tweets to conduct spatial analysis or identify spatiotemporal patterns of filtered messages for specific topics or events. This paper provides a systematic view to…
The ability to track large-scale events as they happen is essential for understanding them and coordinating reactions in an appropriate and timely manner. This is true, for example, in emergency management and decision-making support, where…
Real-time urban climate monitoring provides useful information that can be utilized to help monitor and adapt to extreme events, including urban heatwaves. Typical approaches to the monitoring of climate data include weather station…
The digital town hall of Twitter becomes a preferred medium of communication for individuals and organizations across the globe. Some of them reach audiences of millions, while others struggle to get noticed. Given the impact of social…
The importance of real-time notification has been growing for social services and Intelligent Transporting System (ITS). As an advanced version of Pub/Sub systems, publish-process-subscribe systems, where published messages are spooled and…
We propose a label propagation approach to geolocation prediction based on Modified Adsorption, with two enhancements:(1) the removal of "celebrity" nodes to increase location homophily and boost tractability, and (2) he incorporation of…
Hadoop and Spark are widely used distributed processing frameworks for large-scale data processing in an efficient and fault-tolerant manner on private or public clouds. These big-data processing systems are extensively used by many…
Location-based social network data offers the promise of collecting the data from a large base of users over a longer span of time at negligible cost. While several studies have applied social network data to activity and mobility analysis,…
