Generating insightful and actionable information from databases is critical in data analysis. This paper introduces a novel approach using Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically generate textual insights. Given a multi-table database…
The first-order logical environment FOLE [5] provides a rigorous and principled approach to distributed interoperable first-order information systems. FOLE has been developed in two forms: a classification form and an interpretation form.…
In an age of increasingly large data sets, investigators in many different disciplines have turned to clustering as a tool for data analysis and exploration. Existing clustering methods, however, typically depend on several nontrivial…
An ontology makes a special vocabulary which describes the domain of interest and the meaning of the term on that vocabulary. Based on the precision of the specification, the concept of the ontology contains several data and conceptual…
Growing privacy regulations and internal governance mandates are driving demand for fine-grained, context-sensitive access control in data management systems. Among competing approaches, content-based access control -- where access…
The Nested Relational Calculus (NRC) has been an influential high-level query language, providing power and flexibility while still allowing translation to standard SQL queries. It has also been used as a basis for language-integrated query…
Whereas the availability of data has seen a manyfold increase in past years, its value can be only shown if the data variety is effectively tackled ---one of the prominent Big Data challenges. The lack of data interoperability limits the…
Information fusion deals with the integration and merging of data and information from multiple (heterogeneous) sources. In many cases, the information that needs to be fused has security classification. The result of the fusion process is…
We initiate an investigation how the fundamental concept of independence can be represented effectively in the presence of incomplete information in relational databases. The concepts of possible and certain independence are proposed, and…
Many applications rely on Web data and extraction systems to accomplish knowledge-driven tasks. Web information is not curated, so many sources provide inaccurate, or conflicting information. Moreover, extraction systems introduce…
In database systems, a query plan is a series of concrete internal steps to execute a query. Multiple testing approaches utilize query plans for finding bugs. However, query plans are represented in a database-specific manner, so…
We propose a novel database model whose basic structure is a labeled, directed, acyclic graph with a single root, in which the nodes represent the data sets of an application and the edges represent functional relationships among the data…
We consider machine learning models, learned from data, to be an important, intensional, kind of data in themselves. As such, various analysis tasks on models can be thought of as queries over this intensional data, often combined with…
This paper discusses a method for implementing a probabilistic inference system based on an extended relational data model. This model provides a unified approach for a variety of applications such as dynamic programming, solving sparse…
In systems modelling, a 'system' typically comprises located resources relative to which processes execute. One important use of logic in informatics is in modelling such systems for the purpose of reasoning (perhaps automated) about their…
We describe a new logical data model, called the concept-oriented model (COM). It uses mathematical functions as first-class constructs for data representation and data processing as opposed to using exclusively sets in conventional…
Ontology-mediated query answering (OMQA) is a promising approach to data access and integration that has been actively studied in the knowledge representation and database communities for more than a decade. The vast majority of work on…
In this report, we unify two quite distinct approaches to information retrieval: region models and language models. Region models were developed for structured document retrieval. They provide a well-defined behaviour as well as a simple…
Large language models (LLMs) have become essential for applications such as text summarization, sentiment analysis, and automated question-answering. Recently, LLMs have also been integrated into relational database management systems to…
Automatic text categorization is a complex and useful task for many natural language processing applications. Recent approaches to text categorization focus more on algorithms than on resources involved in this operation. In contrast to…
