The document describes different methods for collapsed stochastic variational inference for topic models:
1) Classic collapsed LDA inference iterates between updating word topic assignments and topic distributions for each document.
2) Stochastic practical collapsed variational inference for HDP extends this by adding stochastic updates to the hyperparameters.
3) Stochastic variational inference for LDA further extends this with stochastic updates to the word-topic counts for each document.
4) An evaluation compares the predictive performance of these methods by measuring perplexity on held-out data from the Associated Press corpus.

This document describes Jean-Paul Calbimonte's doctoral research on enabling semantic integration of streaming data sources. The research aims to provide semantic query interfaces for streaming data, expose streaming data for the semantic web, and integrate streaming sources through ontology mappings. The approach involves ontology-based data access to streams, a semantic streaming query language, and semantic integration of distributed streams. Work done so far includes defining a language (SPARQLSTR) for querying RDF streams and enabling an engine to support streaming data sources through ontology mappings. Future work involves query optimization and quantitative evaluation.

Querying your database in natural language by Daniel Moisset PyData SV 2014PyData
Most end users can't write a database query, and yet, they often have the need to access information that keyword-based searches can't retrieve precisely. Lately, there's been an explosion of proprietary Natural Language Interfaces to knowledge databases, like Siri, Google Now and Wolfram Alpha. On the open side, huge knowledge bases like DBpedia and Freebase exists, but access to them is typically limited to using formal database query languages. We implemented Quepy as an approach to provide a solution for this problem. Quepy is an open source framework to transform Natural Language questions into semantic database queries that can be used with popular knowledge databases like, for example, DBPedia and Freebase. So instead of requiring end users to learn to write some query language, a Quepy Application can fills the gap, allowing end users to make their queries in "plain English". In this talk we would discuss the techniques used in Quepy, what additional work can be done, and its limitations.
How to easily find the optimal solution without exhaustive search using Genet...Viach Kakovskyi

Dagstuhl seminar talk on querying big graphsArijit Khan
The document describes techniques for querying large graph datasets. It discusses how graphs arise in many domains like social networks, biological networks, and knowledge graphs. It outlines some challenges in querying big graphs like heterogeneity, uncertainty, and massive scale. It then presents the author's work on approximate subgraph matching to enable flexible querying of heterogeneous graphs. The key ideas are converting graph structures to vectors to compute similarity, defining a cost function for subgraph matching, and using loopy belief propagation for inference. Experimental results on real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.
This document discusses knowledge discovery and machine learning on graph data. It makes three main observations:
1) Graphs are typically constructed from input data rather than given directly, as relationships must be inferred.
2) Graph data management is challenging due to issues like large size, dynamic nature, heterogeneity and attribution.
3) Useful insights and accurate modeling depend on the representation of the data as a graph, such as through decomposition, feature learning or other techniques.

This document summarizes a student's master's thesis project on inferring user interests from microblog data through opinion mining. The project developed a framework that uses contextual and emotion analysis of Twitter data to identify users' interests. It extracts interest candidates using POS tagging, keyword extraction, and rule-based concept extraction. It then classifies emotions and filters interests based on positive emotions. The identified interests are ranked and categorized to infer users' top interests. Experiments showed the approach achieved over 80% precision on average at identifying top interests. Future work could analyze emotion patterns over time and consider negative emotions.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
