With the popularity of mobile devices and the development of geo-positioning technology, location-based services (LBS) attract much attention and top-k spatial keyword queries become increasingly complex. It is common to see that clients…
Massive amount of data that are geo-tagged and associated with text information are being generated at an unprecedented scale in many emerging applications such as location based services and social networks. Due to their importance, a…
With the proliferation of spatio-textual data, Top-k KNN spatial keyword queries (TkQs), which return a list of objects based on a ranking function that considers both spatial and textual relevance, have found many real-life applications.…
An increasing amount of trajectory data is being annotated with text descriptions to better capture the semantics associated with locations. The fusion of spatial locations and text descriptions in trajectories engenders a new type of…
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…
An SPQR-tree is a data structure that efficiently represents all planar embeddings of a biconnected planar graph. It is a key tool in a number of constrained planarity testing algorithms, which seek a planar embedding of a graph subject to…
Knowledge graphs (KGs) have been increasingly employed for link prediction and recommendation using real-world datasets. However, the majority of current methods rely on static data, neglecting the dynamic nature and the hidden…
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…
Geolocated time series, i.e., time series associated with certain locations, abound in many modern applications. In this paper, we consider hybrid queries for retrieving geolocated time series based on filters that combine spatial distance…
Traffic forecasting represents a crucial problem within intelligent transportation systems. In recent research, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a promising method, but their intrinsic design, tailored primarily for sequential…
Recently, the community search problem has attracted significant attention, due to its wide spectrum of real-world applications such as event organization, friend recommendation, advertisement in e-commence, and so on. Given a query vertex,…
Trajectory-based spatiotemporal entity linking is to match the same moving object in different datasets based on their movement traces. It is a fundamental step to support spatiotemporal data integration and analysis. In this paper, we…
With the advent of location-based social networks, users can tag their daily activities in different locations through check-ins. These check-in locations signify user preferences for various socio-spatial activities and can be used to…
Traffic flow forecasting is a crucial task in urban computing. The challenge arises as traffic flows often exhibit intrinsic and latent spatio-temporal correlations that cannot be identified by extracting the spatial and temporal patterns…
Keyword-based web queries with local intent retrieve web content that is relevant to supplied keywords and that represent points of interest that are near the query location. Two broad categories of such queries exist. The first encompasses…
Recently, graph query is widely adopted for querying knowledge graphs. Given a query graph $G_Q$, the graph query finds subgraphs in a knowledge graph $G$ that exactly or approximately match $G_Q$. We face two challenges on graph query: (1)…
Relational Keyword Search (R-KwS) systems enable naive/informal users to explore and retrieve information from relational databases without requiring schema knowledge or query-language proficiency. Although numerous R-KwS methods have been…
Spatial data is ubiquitous. Massive amounts of data are generated every day from billions of GPS-enabled devices such as cell phones, cars, sensors, and various consumer-based applications such as Uber, Tinder, location-tagged posts in…
With advances in geo-positioning technologies and geo-location services, there are a rapidly growing massive amount of spatio-temporal data collected in many applications such as location-aware devices and wireless communication, in which…
Sentence embedding is an effective feature representation for most deep learning-based NLP tasks. One prevailing line of methods is using recursive latent tree-structured networks to embed sentences with task-specific structures. However,…
