Context-Free Path Querying with Structural Representation of Result

Graph data model and graph databases are very popular in various areas such as bioinformatics, semantic web, and social networks. One specific problem in the area is a path querying with constraints formulated in terms of formal grammars. The query in this approach is written as grammar, and paths querying is graph parsing with respect to given grammar. There are several solutions to it, but how to provide structural representation of query result which is practical for answer processing and debugging is still an open problem. In this paper we propose a graph parsing technique which allows one to build such representation with respect to given grammar in polynomial time and space for arbitrary context-free grammar and graph. Proposed algorithm is based on generalized LL parsing algorithm, while previous solutions are based mostly on CYK or Earley algorithms, which reduces time complexity in some cases.Comment: Evaluation extende

Probabilistic Constraint Logic Programming

This paper addresses two central problems for probabilistic processing models: parameter estimation from incomplete data and efficient retrieval of most probable analyses. These questions have been answered satisfactorily only for probabilistic regular and context-free models. We address these problems for a more expressive probabilistic constraint logic programming model. We present a log-linear probability model for probabilistic constraint logic programming. On top of this model we define an algorithm to estimate the parameters and to select the properties of log-linear models from incomplete data. This algorithm is an extension of the improved iterative scaling algorithm of Della-Pietra, Della-Pietra, and Lafferty (1995). Our algorithm applies to log-linear models in general and is accompanied with suitable approximation methods when applied to large data spaces. Furthermore, we present an approach for searching for most probable analyses of the probabilistic constraint logic programming model. This method can be applied to the ambiguity resolution problem in natural language processing applications.Comment: 35 pages, uses sfbart.cl

Context-Free Path Queries on RDF Graphs

Navigational graph queries are an important class of queries that canextract implicit binary relations over the nodes of input graphs. Most of the navigational query languages used in the RDF community, e.g. property paths in W3C SPARQL 1.1 and nested regular expressions in nSPARQL, are based on the regular expressions. It is known that regular expressions have limited expressivity; for instance, some natural queries, like same generation-queries, are not expressible with regular expressions. To overcome this limitation, in this paper, we present cfSPARQL, an extension of SPARQL query language equipped with context-free grammars. The cfSPARQL language is strictly more expressive than property paths and nested expressions. The additional expressivity can be used for modelling graph similarities, graph summarization and ontology alignment. Despite the increasing expressivity, we show that cfSPARQL still enjoys a low computational complexity and can be evaluated efficiently.Comment: 25 page

Context-Free Path Querying by Matrix Multiplication

Graph data models are widely used in many areas, for example, bioinformatics, graph databases. In these areas, it is often required to process queries for large graphs. Some of the most common graph queries are navigational queries. The result of query evaluation is a set of implicit relations between nodes of the graph, i.e. paths in the graph. A natural way to specify these relations is by specifying paths using formal grammars over the alphabet of edge labels. An answer to a context-free path query in this approach is usually a set of triples (A, m, n) such that there is a path from the node m to the node n, whose labeling is derived from a non-terminal A of the given context-free grammar. This type of queries is evaluated using the relational query semantics. Another example of path query semantics is the single-path query semantics which requires presenting a single path from the node m to the node n, whose labeling is derived from a non-terminal A for all triples (A, m, n) evaluated using the relational query semantics. There is a number of algorithms for query evaluation which use these semantics but all of them perform poorly on large graphs. One of the most common technique for efficient big data processing is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform computations, but these algorithms do not allow to use this technique efficiently. In this paper, we show how the context-free path query evaluation using these query semantics can be reduced to the calculation of the matrix transitive closure. Also, we propose an algorithm for context-free path query evaluation which uses relational query semantics and is based on matrix operations that make it possible to speed up computations by using a GPU.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, 2 table

Acquiring Word-Meaning Mappings for Natural Language Interfaces

This paper focuses on a system, WOLFIE (WOrd Learning From Interpreted Examples), that acquires a semantic lexicon from a corpus of sentences paired with semantic representations. The lexicon learned consists of phrases paired with meaning representations. WOLFIE is part of an integrated system that learns to transform sentences into representations such as logical database queries. Experimental results are presented demonstrating WOLFIE's ability to learn useful lexicons for a database interface in four different natural languages. The usefulness of the lexicons learned by WOLFIE are compared to those acquired by a similar system, with results favorable to WOLFIE. A second set of experiments demonstrates WOLFIE's ability to scale to larger and more difficult, albeit artificially generated, corpora. In natural language acquisition, it is difficult to gather the annotated data needed for supervised learning; however, unannotated data is fairly plentiful. Active learning methods attempt to select for annotation and training only the most informative examples, and therefore are potentially very useful in natural language applications. However, most results to date for active learning have only considered standard classification tasks. To reduce annotation effort while maintaining accuracy, we apply active learning to semantic lexicons. We show that active learning can significantly reduce the number of annotated examples required to achieve a given level of performance

Enumerating Maximal Bicliques from a Large Graph using MapReduce

We consider the enumeration of maximal bipartite cliques (bicliques) from a large graph, a task central to many practical data mining problems in social network analysis and bioinformatics. We present novel parallel algorithms for the MapReduce platform, and an experimental evaluation using Hadoop MapReduce. Our algorithm is based on clustering the input graph into smaller sized subgraphs, followed by processing different subgraphs in parallel. Our algorithm uses two ideas that enable it to scale to large graphs: (1) the redundancy in work between different subgraph explorations is minimized through a careful pruning of the search space, and (2) the load on different reducers is balanced through the use of an appropriate total order among the vertices. Our evaluation shows that the algorithm scales to large graphs with millions of edges and tens of mil- lions of maximal bicliques. To our knowledge, this is the first work on maximal biclique enumeration for graphs of this scale.Comment: A preliminary version of the paper was accepted at the Proceedings of the 3rd IEEE International Congress on Big Data 201

Implementation of Paper Genealogy in Subgraph Mining

Information networks contains many data base in the different search of area , Whenever a new researcher goes to search a topic , there are lots of papers , In those papers some are relevant to user define topic and some are unfamiliar to that topic.For making literature survey researcher needs to collect all information regarding domain which are relevant to that particular topic but there are many citations are available which contains huge amount of data where number of papersis presented by authors.It is very difficult to study all published papers, after analysing this problem an idea is created to solve the problem of search of all research papers with their citation. This paper is design to solve these entire problems, how to find out relative papers with respected query. This paper will be centred on creation of genealogy of all those published papers which will find out the all relevant papers according to user entered keyword it is startingworking of process, after that extraction part will be come in which discrimination of survey paper and implementation of paper will be extracting according to seminal papers it will create genealogy of those paper, by association and interlinking among all matching documents on the basis of references of each paper. The created Genealogy willhelpful for user to get a quick look of their searched topic at which papers are relevant to given query of research, So that all the seminal papers will be shown to user and usercan focus on only those documents . By this proposed work user neither looks on unwanted documents nor expend the time for searching the particular topic, which may increases scalability and efficiency of searching keywords
