Linear model trees are regression trees that incorporate linear models in the leaf nodes. This preserves the intuitive interpretation of decision trees and at the same time enables them to better capture linear relationships, which is hard…
Dependency trees help relation extraction models capture long-range relations between words. However, existing dependency-based models either neglect crucial information (e.g., negation) by pruning the dependency trees too aggressively, or…
Computing bounded depth decompositions is a bottleneck in many applications of the treedepth parameter. The fastest known algorithm, which is due to Reidl, Rossmanith, S\'{a}nchez Villaamil, and Sikdar [ICALP 2014], runs in…
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…
We propose a new optimization-based approach for feature selection in tree ensembles, an important problem in statistics and machine learning. Popular tree ensemble toolkits e.g., Gradient Boosted Trees and Random Forests support feature…
The working-set bound [Sleator and Tarjan, J. ACM, 1985] roughly states that searching for an element is fast if the element was accessed recently. Binary search trees, such as splay trees, can achieve this property in the amortized sense,…
Generating fluent natural language responses from structured semantic representations is a critical step in task-oriented conversational systems. Avenues like the E2E NLG Challenge have encouraged the development of neural approaches,…
Daily internet communication relies heavily on tree-structured graphs, embodied by popular data formats such as XML and JSON. However, many recent generative (probabilistic) models utilize neural networks to learn a probability distribution…
Supervised hashing aims to map the original features to compact binary codes that are able to preserve label based similarity in the Hamming space. Non-linear hash functions have demonstrated the advantage over linear ones due to their…
For a graph $G$, let $\Pi(G)$ denote the set of all potential maximal cliques of $G$. For each subset $\Pi$ of $\Pi(G)$, let $\tw(G, \Pi)$ denote the smallest $k$ such that there is a tree-decomposition of $G$ of width $k$ whose bags all…
New applications of data mining, such as in biology, bioinformatics, or sociology, are faced with large datasetsstructured as graphs. We introduce a novel class of tree-shapedpatterns called tree queries, and present algorithms for…
Processing graphs with temporal information (the temporal graphs) has become increasingly important in the real world. In this paper, we study efficient solutions to temporal graph applications using new algorithms for Incremental Minimum…
Extracting relational triples (subject, predicate, object) from text enables the transformation of unstructured text data into structured knowledge. The named entity recognition (NER) and the relation extraction (RE) are two foundational…
We introduce the lazy search tree data structure. The lazy search tree is a comparison-based data structure on the pointer machine that supports order-based operations such as rank, select, membership, predecessor, successor, minimum, and…
Phylogenetic (evolutionary) trees and networks are leaf-labeled graphs that are widely used to represent the evolutionary relationships between entities such as species, languages, cancer cells, and viruses. To reconstruct and analyze…
This paper investigates the execution of tree-shaped task graphs using multiple processors. Each edge of such a tree represents a large IO file. A task can only be executed if all input and output files fit into memory, and a file can only…
Spanning trees are an important primitive in many data analysis tasks, when a data set needs to be summarized in terms of its "skeleton", or when a tree-shaped graph over all observations is required for downstream processing. Popular…
The Euclidean Steiner tree problem asks to find a min-cost metric graph that connects a given set of \emph{terminal} points $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, possibly using points not in $X$ which are called Steiner points. Even though near-linear…
We describe a framework for maintaining forest algebra representations that are of logarithmic height for unranked trees. Such representations can be computed in O(n) time and updated in O(log(n)) time. The framework is of potential…
A data structure is presented for the Mergeable Dictionary abstract data type, which supports the following operations on a collection of disjoint sets of totally ordered data: Predecessor-Search, Split and Merge. While Predecessor-Search…
