With the advent of cloud computing, data owners are motivated to outsource their complex data management systems from local sites to the commercial public cloud for great flexibility and economic savings. But for protecting data privacy, sensitive data have to be encrypted before outsourcing, which obsoletes traditional data utilization based on plaintext keyword search. Thus, […]
Computing Semantic Similarity of Concepts in Knowledge Graphs
This paper presents a method for measuring the semantic similarity between concepts in Knowledge Graphs (KGs) such as WordNet and DBpedia. Previous work on semantic similarity methods have focused on either the structure of the semantic network between concepts (e.g., path length and depth), or only on the Information Content (IC) of concepts. We propose […]
User-Centric Similarity Search
User preferences play a significant role in market analysis. In the database literature, there has been extensive work on query primitives, such as the well known top-k query that can be used for the ranking of products based on the preferences customers have expressed. Still, the fundamental operation that evaluates the similarity between products is […]
Gray Scale and YCbCr Color Image Decompression and Denoising for JPEG 2017 ieee projects
Digital color images are compressed using common standards such as JPEG. The JPEG compression is a lossy process, which means that most of the compression is obtained by loss of data, and the original image cannot be restored completely from the compressed object. The compression technique is used in various applications such as imaging and […]
A Scalable Data Chunk Similarity Based Compression Approach for Efficient Big Sensing Data Processing on Cloud
Big sensing data is prevalent in both industry and scientific research applications where the data is generated with high volume and velocity. Cloud computing provides a promising platform for big sensing data processing and storage as it provides a flexible stack of massive computing, storage, and software services in a scalable manner. Current big sensing […]
Energy-Efficient Query Processing in Web Search Engines
Web search engines are composed by thousands of query processing nodes, i.e., servers dedicated to process user queries. Such many servers consume a significant amount of energy, mostly accountable to their CPUs, but they are necessary to ensure low latencies, since users expect sub-second response times (e.g., 500 ms). However, users can hardly notice response […]
Collaboratively Training Sentiment Classifiers for Multiple Domains
We propose a collaborative multi-domain sentiment classification approach to train sentiment classifiers for multiple domains simultaneously. In our approach, the sentiment information in different domains is shared to train more accurate and robust sentiment classifiers for each domain when labeled data is scarce. Specifically, we decompose the sentiment classifier of each domain into two components, […]
Query Expansion with Enriched User Profiles for Personalized Search Utilizing Folksonomy Data
Query expansion has been widely adopted in Web search as a way of tackling the ambiguity of queries. Personalized search utilizing folksonomy data has demonstrated an extreme vocabulary mismatch problem that requires even more effective query expansion methods. Co-occurrence statistics, tag-tag relationships, and semantic matching approaches are among those favored by previous research. However, user […]
Enabling Kernel-Based Attribute-Aware Matrix Factorization for Rating Prediction
In recommender systems, one key task is to predict the personalized rating of a user to a new item and then return the new items having the top predicted ratings to the user. Recommender systems usually apply collaborative filtering techniques (e.g., matrix factorization) over a sparse user-item rating matrix to make rating prediction. However, the […]
