Existing structural clustering methods rely heavily on the computation of pairwise reliable structural similarity between vertices, which has proven to be extremely costly, especially in large uncertain graphs. In this paper, we develop a new, decomposition-based method, ProbSCAN, for efficient reliable structural similarity computation with theoretically improved complexity. We further design a cost-effective index structure UCNO-Index, and a series of powerful pruning strategies to expedite reliable structural similarity computation in uncertain graphs. Experimental studies on eight real-world uncertain graphs demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed solutions, which achieves orders of magnitude improvement of clustering efficiency, compared with the state-of-the-art structural clustering methods in large uncertain graphs.","PeriodicalId":6709,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 36th International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE)","volume":"32 1","pages":"1966-1969"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79769453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not surprisingly, there exist outdated facts in most KBs due to the rapid change of information. Naturally, it is important to keep KBs up-to-date. Traditional wisdom has investigated the problem of using reference data (such as new facts extracted from the news) to detect outdated facts in KBs. However, existing approaches can only cover a small percentage of facts in KBs. In this paper, we propose a novel human-in-the-loop approach for outdated fact detection in KBs. It trains a binary classifier using features such as historical update frequency and existence time of a fact to compute the likelihood of a fact in a KB to be outdated. Then, it interacts with humans to verify whether a fact with high likelihood is indeed outdated. In addition, it also uses logical rules to detect more outdated facts based on human feedback. The outdated facts detected by the logical rules will also be fed back to train the ML model further for data augmentation. Extensive experiments on real-world KBs, such as Yago and DBpedia, show the effectiveness of our solution.","PeriodicalId":6709,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 36th International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE)","volume":"76 1","pages":"1890-1893"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84934452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, many smart city applications have emerged, relying on efficient image search. Such searches include spatial-visual queries in which spatial and visual properties are used in tandem to retrieve similar images to a given query image within a given geographical region. Towards this end, new index structures that organize images based on both spatial and visual properties are needed to efficiently execute such queries. Based on our observation that street images are typically similar in the same spatial locality, index structures for spatial-visual queries can be effectively built on a spatial index (i.e., R*-tree). Therefore, we propose a class of R*-tree indexes, particularly, by associating each node with two separate minimum bounding rectangles (MBR), one for spatial and the other for (dimension-reduced) visual properties of their contained images, and adapting the R*-tree optimization criteria to both property types.","PeriodicalId":6709,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 36th International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE)","volume":"49 1","pages":"1990-1993"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85035560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional IR systems are limited to homogeneous queries that define the information to retrieve by a single modality. Support for heterogeneous queries that combine different modalities has been proposed recently. Yet, existing approaches for heterogeneous querying are computationally expensive, as they require several passes over the data to construct a query answer.In this paper, we propose an IR system that overcomes the computational challenges imposed by heterogeneous queries by adopting graph embeddings. Specifically, we propose graph-based models in which both, data and queries, incorporate information of different modalities. Then, we show how either representation is transformed into a graph embedding in the same space, capturing relations between information of different modalities. By grounding query processing in graph embeddings, we enable processing of heterogeneous queries with a single pass over the data representation. Our experiments on several real-world and synthetic datasets illustrate that our technique is able to return twice the amount of relevant information in comparison with several baselines, while being scalable to large-scale data.","PeriodicalId":6709,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 36th International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"1994-1997"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87283235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a novel query framework, termed as BayesCrowd, on top of Bayesian network and the typical c-table model on incomplete data. Considering budget and latency constraints, we present a suite of effective task selection strategies. In particular, since the probability computation of each object being an answer object is at least as hard as #SAT problem, we propose an adaptive DPLL (i.e., Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland) algorithm to speed up the computation. Extensive experiments using both real and synthetic data sets confirm the superiority of BayesCrowd to the state-of-the-art method.","PeriodicalId":6709,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 36th International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE)","volume":"41 1","pages":"2032-2033"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86335997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a fully unsupervised network alignment framework based on a multi-order embedding model. The model learns the embeddings of each node using a graph convolutional neural representation, which we prove to satisfy consistency constraints. We further design a data augmentation method and a refinement mechanism to make the model adaptive to consistency violations and noise.
