Existing techniques for unionable table search define unionability using metadata (tables must have the same or similar schemas) column-based metrics (for example, values in a should be drawn from domain). In this work, we introduce use of semantic relationships between pairs columns to improve accuracy union search. Consequently, new notion that considers columns, together with semantics principled way. To do so, present two methods discover columns. The first uses an existing knowledge...

We have made tremendous strides in providing tools for data scientists to discover new tables useful their analyses. But despite these advances, the proper integration of discovered has been under-explored. An interesting semantics integration, called Full Disjunction, was proposed 1980's, but there little progress using it science integrate culled from lakes. provide ALITE, first proposal scalable that may join, union or related table search. empirically show ALITE can outperform previous...

We address the web table retrieval task, aiming to retrieve and rank tables as whole answers a given information need. To this end, we formally define multimodal objects. then suggest neural ranking model, termed MTR, which makes novel use of Gated Multimodal Units (GMUs) learn joint-representation query different modalities. further enhance model with co-learning approach utilizes automatically learned query-independent query-dependent "helper'' labels. evaluate proposed solution using both...

Data integration is an important step in any data science pipeline where the objective to unify information available different datasets for comprehensive analysis. Full Disjunction, which associative extension of outer join operator, has been shown be effective operator integrating datasets. It fully preserves and combines information. Existing Disjunction algorithms only consider equi-join scenario tuples having same value on joining columns are integrated. This, however, does not...

Ordinal regression classifies an object to a class out of given set possible classes, where labels possess natural order. It is relevant wide array domains including risk assessment, sentiment analysis, image ranking, and recommender systems. Like common classification, the primary goal ordinal accuracy. Yet, in this context, severity prediction errors varies, e.g., Critical Risk more urgent than High significantly No risk. This leads modified objective ensuring that model's output as close...

Schema matching is a process that serves in integrating structured and semi-structured data. Being handy tool multiple contemporary business commerce applications, it has been investigated the fields of databases, AI, Semantic Web, data mining for many years. The core challenge still remains ability to create quality algorithmic matchers, automatic tools identifying correspondences among concepts ( e.g. , database attributes). In this work, we offer novel post processing step schema improves...

Given a keyword query, the ad hoc table retrieval task aims at retrieving ranked list of top-k most relevant tables in given corpus. Previous works have primarily focused on designing table-centric lexical and semantic features, which could be utilized for learning-to-rank (LTR) tables. In this work, we make novel use intrinsic (passage-based) extrinsic (manifold-based) similarities enhanced retrieval. Using WikiTables benchmark, study merits utilizing such task. To end, combine both...

In multi-user environments in which data science and analysis is collaborative, multiple versions of the same datasets are generated. While managing storing has received some attention research literature, semantic nature such changes remained under-explored. this work, we introduce Explain-Da-V, a framework aiming to explain between two given dataset versions. Explain-Da-V generates explanations that use transformations changes. We further set measures evaluate validity, generalizability,...

Entity resolution, a longstanding problem of data cleaning and integration, aims at identifying records that represent the same real-world entity. Existing approaches treat entity resolution as universal task, assuming existence single interpretation focusing only on finding matched records, separating corresponding from non-corresponding ones, with respect to this interpretation. However, in scenarios, where is part more general project, downstream applications may have varying...

In this work we explore relationships between human and algorithmic schema matchers. We provide a novel approach to similar matchers termed coordinated use it predict future matching choices. show throughout comprehensive analysis that are usually with intuitive algorithms, e.g., based on attribute name similarity, frequently do not assign lower confidence levels, which indicates over in their Finally, choices can be reasonably predicted using collaborative opinions coordination.

Structured product data in the form of attribute/value pairs is foundation many e-commerce applications such as faceted search, comparison, and recommendation. Product offers often only contain textual descriptions attributes titles or free text. Hence, extracting from an essential enabler for applications. In order to excel, state-of-the-art information extraction methods require large quantities task-specific training data. The also struggle with generalizing out-of-distribution attribute...

Measuring key performance indicators, such as queue lengths and waiting times, using event logs serve for improvement of resource-driven business processes. However, existing techniques assume the availability complete life cycle information, including time a case was scheduled execution (aka arrival times). Yet, in practice, information may be missing large portion recorded cases. In this paper, we propose methodology to address life-cycle data by incorporating predicted processes analysis....

Matching is a task at the heart of any data integration process, aimed identifying correspondences among elements. problems were traditionally solved in semi-automatic manner, with being generated by matching algorithms and outcomes subsequently validated human experts. Human-in-the-loop has been recently challenged introduction big recent studies have analyzed obstacles to effective validation. In this work we characterize experts, those humans whose proposed can mostly be trusted valid. We...

Virtual Knowledge Graphs (VKGs) constitute one of the most promising paradigms for integrating and accessing legacy data sources. A critical bottleneck in integration process involves definition, validation, maintenance mapping assertions that link sources to a domain ontology. To support management mappings throughout their entire lifecycle, we identify comprehensive catalog sophisticated patterns emerge when linking databases ontologies. do so, build on well-established methodologies...

Entity matching, a core data integration problem, is the task of deciding whether two tuples refer to same real-world entity. Recent advances in deep learning methods, using pre-trained language models, were proposed for resolving entity matching. Although demonstrating unprecedented results, these solutions suffer from major drawback as they require large amounts labeled training, and, such, are inadequate be applied low resource matching problems. To overcome challenge obtaining sufficient...

Discovery plays a key role in data-driven analysis of business processes. The vast majority contemporary discovery algorithms aims at the identification control-flow constructs. increase data richness, however, enables that incorporates context process execution beyond perspective. A "control-flow first" approach, where serves for refinement and annotation, is limited fails to detect fundamental changes depend on data. In this work, we thus propose novel approach combining perspectives under...
