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)…
Given a vector dataset $\mathcal{X}$, a query vector $\vec{x}_q$, graph-based Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (ANNS) aims to build a proximity graph (PG) as an index of $\mathcal{X}$ and approximately return vectors with minimum…
We study the data complexity of consistent query answering (CQA) on databases that may violate the primary key constraints. A repair is a maximal consistent subset of the database. For a Boolean query $q$, the problem…
Graph database query languages feature expressive, yet computationally expensive pattern matching capabilities. Answering optional query clauses in SPARQL for instance renders the query evaluation problem immediately Pspace-complete.…
In this paper we present a novel non-parametric method of simplifying piecewise linear curves and we apply this method as a statistical approximation of structure within sequential data in the plane. We consider the problem of minimizing…
Many real-world problems can be reduced to combinatorial optimization on a graph, where the subset or ordering of vertices that maximize some objective function must be found. With such tasks often NP-hard and analytically intractable,…
Link prediction in graphs is an important task in the fields of network science and machine learning. We investigate a flexible means of regularization for link prediction based on an approximation of the Kolmogorov complexity of graphs…
Natural question generation (QG) aims to generate questions from a passage and an answer. Previous works on QG either (i) ignore the rich structure information hidden in text, (ii) solely rely on cross-entropy loss that leads to issues like…
Join ordering is the NP-hard problem of selecting the most efficient order in which to evaluate joins (conjunctive, binary operators) in a database query. Because query execution performance critically depends on this choice, join ordering…
Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has proven effective in integrating external knowledge into large language models (LLMs), improving their factual accuracy, adaptability, interpretability, and trustworthiness. A number of…
Network modeling is a fundamental tool in network research, design, and operation. Arguably the most popular method for modeling is Queuing Theory (QT). Its main limitation is that it imposes strong assumptions on the packet arrival…
We introduce injective semantics for Conjunctive Regular Path Queries (CRPQs), and study their fundamental properties. We identify two such semantics: atom-injective and query-injective semantics, both defined in terms of injective…
Graphs have been commonly used to model many applications. A natural problem which abstracts applications such as itinerary planning, playlist recommendation, and flow analysis in information networks is that of finding the heaviest path(s)…
We propose an efficient and scalable architecture for processing generalized graph-pattern queries as they are specified by the current W3C recommendation of the SPARQL 1.1 "Query Language" component. Specifically, the class of queries we…
RDF query optimization is a challenging problem. Although considerable factors and their impacts on query efficiency have been investigated, this problem still needs further investigation. We identify that decomposing query into a series of…
In this paper, we propose a paradigm for processing in parallel graph joins in road networks. The methodology we present can be used for distance join processing among the elements of two disjoint sets R,S of nodes from the road network,…
Range Minimum Query (RMQ) is an important building brick of many compressed data structures and string matching algorithms. Although this problem is essentially solved in theory, with sophisticated data structures allowing for constant time…
In this paper, we provide a novel enumeration algorithm for the set of all walks of a given length within a directed graph. Our algorithm has worst-case constant delay between outputting succinct representations of such walks, after a…
Answering first-order logic (FOL) queries over incomplete knowledge graphs (KGs) is difficult, especially for complex query structures that compose projection, intersection, union, and negation. We propose ROG, a retrieval-augmented…
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…
