In this paper, we study a novel contact tracing query (CTQ) that finds users who have been in $direct$ $contact$ with the query user or $in$ $contact$ $with$ $the$ $already$ $contacted$ $users$ in subsequent timestamps from a large…
Maintaining spatial data (points in two or three dimensions) is crucial and has a wide range of applications, such as graphics, GIS, and robotics. To handle spatial data, many data structures, called spatial indexes, have been proposed,…
Spatial objects often come with textual information, such as Points of Interest (POIs) with their descriptions, which are referred to as geo-textual data. To retrieve such data, spatial keyword queries that take into account both spatial…
The cloud computing technique, which was initially used to mitigate the explosive growth of data, has been required to take both data privacy and users' query functionality into consideration. Symmetric searchable encryption (SSE) is a…
Keyword search is the most popular querying technique on semistructured data. Keyword queries are simple and con- venient. However, as a consequence of their imprecision, the quality of their answers is poor and the existing algorithms do…
Efficient index structures for fast approximate nearest neighbor queries are required in many applications such as recommendation systems. In high-dimensional spaces, many conventional methods suffer from excessive usage of memory and slow…
The k-means clustering algorithm is a popular algorithm that partitions data into k clusters. There are many improvements to accelerate the standard algorithm. Most current research employs upper and lower bounds on point-to-cluster…
We present a new multi-dimensional data structure, which we call the skip quadtree (for point data in R^2) or the skip octree (for point data in R^d, with constant d>2). Our data structure combines the best features of two well-known data…
We initiate a study of a query-driven approach to designing partition trees for range-searching problems. Our model assumes that a data structure is to be built for an unknown query distribution that we can access through a sampling oracle,…
The sheer increase in volume of RDF data demands efficient solutions for the triple indexing problem, that is devising a compressed data structure to compactly represent RDF triples by guaranteeing, at the same time, fast pattern matching…
Efficient Maximum Inner Product Search (MIPS) is an important task that has a wide applicability in recommendation systems and classification with a large number of classes. Solutions based on locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) as well as…
In this paper, we propose the mqr-tree, a two-dimensional spatial access method that organizes spatial objects in a two-dimensional node and based on their spatial relationships. Previously proposed spatial access methods that attempt to…
Graph structured data on the web is now massive as well as diverse, ranging from social networks, web graphs to knowledge-bases. Effectively querying this graph structured data is non-trivial and has led to research in a variety of…
Learned indices have been proposed to replace classic index structures like B-Tree with machine learning (ML) models. They require to replace both the indices and query processing algorithms currently deployed by the databases, and such a…
Many applications need to process massive streams of spatio-textual data in real-time against continuous spatio-textual queries. For example, in location-aware ad targeting publish/subscribe systems, it is required to disseminate millions…
Very large volumes of spatial data increasingly become available and demand effective management. While there has been decades of research on spatial data management, few works consider the current state of commodity hardware, having…
Random Indexing (RI) K-tree is the combination of two algorithms for clustering. Many large scale problems exist in document clustering. RI K-tree scales well with large inputs due to its low complexity. It also exhibits features that are…
The prosperity of location-based social networking services enables geo-social group queries for group-based activity planning and marketing. This paper proposes a new family of geo-social group queries with minimum acquaintance constraint…
Although SPARQL has been the predominant query language over RDF graphs, some query intentions cannot be well captured by only using SPARQL syntax. On the other hand, the keyword search enjoys widespread usage because of its intuitive way…
Search engines play a vital role in day to day life on internet. People use search engines to find content on internet. Cloud computing is the computing concept in which data is stored and accessed with the help of a third party server…
