This technical report provides some lightweight introduction and some generic use case scenarios motivating the definition of a database supporting uncertainties in both queries and data. This technical report is only providing the logical…
Explicit information seeking is essential to human problem-solving in practical environments characterized by incomplete information and noisy dynamics. When the true environmental state is not directly observable, humans seek information…
In this paper we present a profile-based approach to information filtering by an analysis of the content of text documents. The Wikipedia index database is created and used to automatically generate the user profile from the user document…
LLM agents achieve strong performance on complex reasoning tasks but incur high latency and compute cost. In practice, many queries fall within the capability boundary of cutting-edge LLMs and do not require full agent execution, making…
The last decade has witnessed an ever-growing user demand for a better QoS (Quality Of Service) and the fast growth of connected devices still put high pressure on the legacy network infrastructures. To improve network performances, better…
MQTT, one of the most popular protocols for the IoT, works according to a publish/subscribe pattern in which multiple clients connect to a single broker, generally hosted in the cloud. However, such a centralised approach does not scale…
Tables are an extremely powerful visual and interactive tool for structuring and manipulating data, making spreadsheet programs one of the most popular computer applications. In this paper we introduce and address the task of recommending…
Web applications are on the rise and rapidly evolve into more and more mature replacements for their native counterparts. This disruptive trend is mainly driven by the attainment of platform-independence and instant deployability. On top of…
Large knowledge bases (KBs) are useful for many AI tasks, but are difficult to integrate into modern gradient-based learning systems. Here we describe a framework for accessing soft symbolic database using only differentiable operators. For…
SQL query performance is critical in database applications, and query rewriting is a technique that transforms an original query into an equivalent query with a better performance. In a wide range of database-supported systems, there is a…
The societal and economical consequences surrounding Big Data-driven platforms have increased the call for decentralized solutions. However, retrieving and querying data in more decentralized environments requires fundamentally different…
Information access needs to be uncomplicated, users rather use incorrect data which is easily received than correct information which is harder to obtain. Querying bibliographic metadata from digital libraries mainly supports simple textual…
Retrieval of legal knowledge by the general public is a challenging problem due to the technicality of the professional knowledge and the lack of fundamental understanding by laypersons on the subject. Traditional information retrieval…
Some Question Answering (QA) systems rely on knowledge bases (KBs) to provide accurate answers. Entity Linking (EL) plays a critical role in linking natural language mentions to KB entries. However, most existing EL methods are designed for…
Variety, size and complexity of data types, services and applications in Internet is continuously growing up. This increasing of complexity needs more powerful and sophisticated equipment's. One group of these devices that has essential…
We present a visualization tool to exhaustively search and browse through a set of large-scale machine learning datasets. Built on the top of the VizWiz dataset, our dataset browser tool has the potential to support and enable a variety of…
Social networks are the major routes for most individuals to exchange their opinions about new products, social trends and political issues via their interactions. It is often of significant importance to figure out who initially diffuses…
Twitter, like many social media and data brokering companies, makes their data available through a search API (application programming interface). In addition to filtering results by date and location, researchers can search for tweets with…
Internet links enable users to deepen their understanding of a topic by providing convenient access to related information. However, the majority of links are unanchored -- they link to a target webpage as a whole, and readers may expend…
Unlike the traditional model of information pull, matchmaking is base on a cooperative partnership between information providers and consumers, assisted by an intelligent facilitator (the matchmaker). Refer to some experiments, the…
