The multi-criteria decision making, which is possible with the advent of skyline queries, has been applied in many areas. Though most of the existing research is concerned with only a single relation, several real world applications require…
We investigate determining the exact bounds of the frequencies of conjunctions based on frequent sets. Our scenario is an important special case of some general probabilistic logic problems that are known to be intractable. We show that…
Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is an effective method to index a set of points such that we can efficiently find the nearest neighbors of a query point. We extend this method to our novel Set-query LSH (SLSH), such that it can find the…
In recent years, local differential privacy (LDP) has emerged as a technique of choice for privacy-preserving data collection in several scenarios when the aggregator is not trustworthy. LDP provides client-side privacy by adding noise at…
Traditional database queries follow a simple model: they define constraints that each tuple in the result must satisfy. This model is computationally efficient, as the database system can evaluate the query conditions on each tuple…
Characterizing graph properties is fundamental to the analysis and to our understanding of real-world networked systems. The local clustering coefficient, and the more recently introduced, local closure coefficient, capture powerful…
We present an index structure to boost the evaluation of free-connex acyclic conjunctive queries (fc-ACQs) over relational databases. The main ingredient of the index associated with a given database $D$ is an auxiliary database $D_{col}$.…
Recent years have seen rapid progress in identifying predefined relationship between entity pairs using neural networks NNs. However, such models often make predictions for each entity pair individually, thus often fail to solve the…
Concern about how to aggregate sensitive user data without compromising individual privacy is a major barrier to greater availability of data. The model of differential privacy has emerged as an accepted model to release sensitive…
We study the query complexity of Bayesian Private Learning: a learner wishes to locate a random target within an interval by submitting queries, in the presence of an adversary who observes all of her queries but not the responses. How many…
Existence of incomplete and imprecise data has moved the database paradigm from deterministic to proba- babilistic information. Probabilistic databases contain tuples that may or may not exist with some probability. As a result, the number…
Retrieving the most similar objects in a large-scale database for a given query is a fundamental building block in many application domains, ranging from web searches, visual, cross media, and document retrievals. State-of-the-art…
Probabilistic inference over large data sets is a challenging data management problem since exact inference is generally #P-hard and is most often solved approximately with sampling-based methods today. This paper proposes an alternative…
Entity resolution is the problem of reconciling database references corresponding to the same real-world entities. Given the abundance of publicly available databases that have unresolved entities, we motivate the problem of query-time…
Statistical query (SQ) algorithms are algorithms that have access to an {\em SQ oracle} for the input distribution $D$ instead of i.i.d.~ samples from $D$. Given a query function $\phi:X \rightarrow [-1,1]$, the oracle returns an estimate…
We show that the `optimal' use of the parallel composition theorem corresponds to finding the size of the largest subset of queries that `overlap' on the data domain, a quantity we call the \emph{maximum overlap} of the queries. It has…
Arising user-centric graph applications such as route planning and personalized social network analysis have initiated a shift of paradigms in modern graph processing systems towards multi-query analysis, i.e., processing multiple graph…
In this tutorial, we will survey known results on the complexity of conjunctive query evaluation in different settings, ranging from Boolean queries over counting to more complex models like enumeration and direct access. A particular focus…
Anonymization technique has been extensively studied and widely applied for privacy-preserving data publishing. In most previous approaches, a microdata table consists of three categories of attribute: explicit-identifier, quasi-identifier…
We consider the differentially private estimation of multiple quantiles (MQ) of a distribution from a dataset, a key building block in modern data analysis. We apply the recent non-smoothed Inverse Sensitivity (IS) mechanism to this…
