Similarity join, which can find similar objects (e.g., products, names, addresses) across different sources, is powerful in dealing with variety in big data, especially web data. Threshold-driven similarity join, which has been extensively studied in the past, assumes that a user is able to specify a similarity threshold, and then focuses on how to efficiently return the object pairs whose similarities pass the threshold. We argue that the assumption about a well set similarity threshold may not be valid for two reasons. The optimal thresholds for different similarity join tasks may vary a lot. Moreover, the end-to-end time spent on similarity join is likely to be dominated by a back-and-forth threshold-tuning process. In response, we propose preference-driven similarity join. The key idea is to provide several result-set preferences, rather than a range of thresholds, for a user to choose from. Intuitively, a result-set preference can be considered as an objective function to capture a users preference on a similarity join result. Once a preference is chosen, we automatically compute the similarity join result optimizing the preference objective. As the proof of concept, we devise two useful preferences and propose a novel preference-driven similarity join framework coupled with effective optimization techniques. Our approaches are evaluated on four real-world web datasets from a diverse range of application scenarios. The experiments show that preference-driven similarity join can achieve high-quality results without a tedious threshold-tuning process.

We introduce and study the problem of computing the similarity self-join in a streaming context (SSSJ), where the input is an unbounded stream of items arriving continuously. The goal is to find all pairs of items in the stream whose similarity is gr eater than a given threshold. The simplest formulation of the problem requires unbounded memory, and thus, it is intractable. To make the problem feasible, we introduce the notion of time-dependent similarity: the similarity of two items decreases with the difference in their arrival time. By leveraging the properties of this time-dependent similarity function, we design two algorithmic frameworks to solve the sssj problem. The first one, MiniBatch (MB), uses existing index-based filtering techniques for the static version of the problem, and combines them in a pipeline. The second framework, Streaming (STR), adds time filtering to the existing indexes, and integrates new time-based bounds deeply in the working of the algorithms. We also introduce a new indexing technique (L2), which is based on an existing state-of-the-art indexing technique (L2AP), but is optimized for the streaming case. Extensive experiments show that the STR algorithm, when instantiated with the L2 index, is the most scalable option across a wide array of datasets and parameters.
Given two collections of set objects $R$ and $S$, the $R bowtie_{subseteq} S$ set containment join returns all object pairs $(r, s) in R times S$ such that $r subseteq s$. Besides being a basic operator in all modern data management systems with a wi de range of applications, the join can be used to evaluate complex SQL queries based on relational division and as a module of data mining algorithms. The state-of-the-art algorithm for set containment joins (PRETTI) builds an inverted index on the right-hand collection $S$ and a prefix tree on the left-hand collection $R$ that groups set objects with common prefixes and thus, avoids redundant processing. In this paper, we present a framework which improves PRETTI in two directions. First, we limit the prefix tree construction by proposing an adaptive methodology based on a cost model; this way, we can greatly reduce the space and time cost of the join. Second, we partition the objects of each collection based on their first contained item, assuming that the set objects are internally sorted. We show that we can process the partitions and evaluate the join while building the prefix tree and the inverted index progressively. This allows us to significantly reduce not only the join cost, but also the maximum memory requirements during the join. An experimental evaluation using both real and synthetic datasets shows that our framework outperforms PRETTI by a wide margin.
In the big data era, massive amount of multimedia data with geo-tags has been generated and collected by mobile smart devices equipped with mobile communications module and position sensor module. This trend has put forward higher request on large-sc ale of geo-multimedia data retrieval. Spatial similarity join is one of the important problem in the area of spatial database. Previous works focused on textual document with geo-tags, rather than geo-multimedia data such as geo-images. In this paper, we study a novel search problem named spatial visual similarity join (SVS-JOIN for short), which aims to find similar geo-image pairs in both the aspects of geo-location and visual content. We propose the definition of SVS-JOIN at the first time and present how to measure geographical similarity and visual similarity. Then we introduce a baseline inspired by the method for textual similarity join and a extension named SVS-JOIN$_G$ which applies spatial grid strategy to improve the efficiency. To further improve the performance of search, we develop a novel approach called SVS-JOIN$_Q$ which utilizes a quadtree and a global inverted index. Experimental evaluations on real geo-image datasets demonstrate that our solution has a really high performance.
Traditional relational data interfaces require precise structured queries over potentially complex schemas. These rigid data retrieval mechanisms pose hurdles for non-expert users, who typically lack language expertise and are unfamiliar with the det ails of the schema. Query by Example (QBE) methods offer an alternative mechanism: users provide examples of their intended query output and the QBE system needs to infer the intended query. However, these approaches focus on the structural similarity of the examples and ignore the richer context present in the data. As a result, they typically produce queries that are too general, and fail to capture the users intent effectively. In this paper, we present SQuID, a system that performs semantic similarity-aware query intent discovery. Our work makes the following contributions: (1) We design an end-to-end system that automatically formulates select-project-join queries in an open-world setting, with optional group-by aggregation and intersection operators; a much larger class than prior QBE techniques. (2) We express the problem of query intent discovery using a probabilistic abduction model, that infers a query as the most likely explanation of the provided examples. (3) We introduce the notion of an abduction-ready database, which precomputes semantic properties and related statistics, allowing SQuID to achieve real-time performance. (4) We present an extensive empirical evaluation on three real-world datasets, including user-intent case studies, demonstrating that SQuID is efficient and effective, and outperforms machine learning methods, as well as the state-of-the-art in the related query reverse engineering problem.

XML data warehouses form an interesting basis for decision-support applications that exploit complex data. However, native-XML database management systems (DBMSs) currently bear limited performances and it is necessary to research for ways to optimiz e them. In this paper, we propose a new join index that is specifically adapted to the multidimensional architecture of XML warehouses. It eliminates join operations while preserving the information contained in the original warehouse. A theoretical study and experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of our join index. They also show that native XML DBMSs can compete with XML-compatible, relational DBMSs when warehousing and analyzing XML data.
