An efficient approach for illustrating web data of user search resultNeha Singh
This document proposes an efficient approach for annotating and summarizing user search results from web data. It involves extracting data from search engine results, aligning similar blocks of content, identifying line separators, integrating extracted data using wrappers, and applying annotators to label units of data with semantic information. The goal is to generate a new annotated search results page that presents the essential extracted data in a concise structured format.
1) Linked lists are a data structure that store elements in individual nodes that are connected to each other using pointers. This allows for dynamic memory allocation as opposed to static allocation in arrays.
2) The basic operations on linked lists include creation, insertion, deletion, traversal, searching, concatenation, and displaying the list. Insertion and deletion can be done at the beginning, middle, or end of the list.
3) Linked lists are useful for applications that require dynamic memory allocation, like stacks, queues, and storing objects that may vary in number, such as images to burn to a CD.
This document provides an overview of linked lists as a data structure. It discusses the components of linked list nodes that contain data and a pointer to the next node. It also describes different types of linked lists like singly linked, doubly linked, and circular linked lists. Key operations like insertion, retrieval, and deletion of nodes are demonstrated with code examples. The advantages of linked lists like dynamic size and efficient insertions/deletions are contrasted with arrays.
The progress report summarizes Yen-Ling Lin's ongoing work on wrapper induction and verification. The report introduces the tasks of wrapper induction and maintenance, outlines Lin's current work on using pattern trees and XML validation to extract data and check for template changes, and lists future plans to write a paper on wrapper verification and continue developing related programs.

This document discusses the implementation of a single linked list data structure. It describes the nodes that make up a linked list, which have an info field to store data and a next field pointing to the next node. The document outlines different ways to represent linked lists, including static arrays and dynamic pointers. It also provides algorithms for common linked list operations like traversing, inserting, and deleting nodes from the beginning, end, or a specified position within the list.

This document describes CorpusStudio, a web application for corpus linguistics research that allows defining queries to analyze text corpora in various formats. The application allows users to create corpus research projects containing metadata, definitions, queries and result databases. It includes editors for defining queries and constructing output as well as viewers for results and corpora. The application execution is handled asynchronously with a queuing system. Future plans include expanding grouping and filtering of query results.
The document describes the automated construction of a large semantic network called SemNet. It analyzes a large text corpus to extract terms and relations using n-gram analysis, part-of-speech tagging, and pattern matching. SemNet contains over 2.7 million terms and 37.5 million relations. The document evaluates SemNet by comparing it to WordNet and ConceptNet, finding that it contains over 77% of WordNet synsets and over 82% of ConceptNet nouns.
The document discusses different data structures including stacks, queues, linked lists, and their implementations. It defines stacks as LIFO structures that allow push and pop operations. Queues are FIFO structures that allow enqueue and dequeue operations. Linked lists store data in nodes that link to the next node, allowing flexible sizes. Stacks and queues can be implemented using arrays or linked lists, with special handling needed at the ends. Priority queues allow deletion based on priority rather than order. Circular linked lists connect the last node to the first to allow continuous traversal.
The document introduces R programming and data analysis. It covers getting started with R, data types and structures, exploring and visualizing data, and programming structures and relationships. The aim is to describe in-depth analysis of big data using R and how to extract insights from datasets. It discusses importing and exporting data, data visualization, and programming concepts like functions and apply family functions.

Linked lists are linear data structures where each node points to the next. Each node contains a data field and a pointer to the next node. There are three types: singly, doubly, and circular linked lists. Linked lists allow for constant-time insertions and deletions and do not require fixed size allocation. Common operations on linked lists include insertion, deletion, searching, and traversal. Linked lists are useful for implementations like stacks, queues, and dynamic data structures.
This powerpoint presentation covers singly linked lists and doubly linked lists. It defines linked lists as linear data structures composed of nodes that contain data and a pointer to the next node. Singly linked lists allow traversing the list in one direction as each node only points to the next node, while doubly linked lists allow traversing in both directions as each node points to both the next and previous nodes. The presentation explains basic operations like insertion, deletion, and searching on both types of linked lists and compares their complexities. It provides examples of inserting and deleting nodes from a doubly linked list.

Effective and Efficient Entity Search in RDF dataRoi Blanco
Triple stores have long provided RDF storage as well as data access using expressive, formal query languages such as SPARQL. The new end users of the Semantic Web, however, are mostly unaware of SPARQL and overwhelmingly prefer imprecise, informal keyword queries for searching over data. At the same time, the amount of data on the Semantic Web is approaching the limits of the architectures that provide support for the full expressivity of SPARQL. These factors combined have led to an increased interest in semantic search, i.e. access to RDF data using Information Retrieval methods. In this work, we propose a method for effective and efficient entity search over RDF data. We describe an adaptation of the BM25F ranking function for RDF data, and demonstrate that it outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in ranking RDF resources. We also propose a set of new index structures for efficient retrieval and ranking of results. We implement these results using the open-source MG4J framework.
This document provides an introduction to using variables, vectors, matrices in R. It discusses that R is an object-oriented programming language with many libraries for statistical analysis. The document also reviews how to set the working directory, create scripts, define vectors and matrices, and access/transform their elements. It further introduces arrays as multi-dimensional structures that can be created using the array() function.

This document provides information on circular linked lists including:
- Circular linked lists have the last element point to the first element, allowing traversal of the list to repeat indefinitely.
- Both singly and doubly linked lists can be made circular. Circular lists are useful for applications that require repeated traversal.
- Types of circular lists include singly circular (one link between nodes) and doubly circular (two links between nodes).
- Operations like insertion, deletion, and display can be performed on circular lists similarly to linear lists with some adjustments for the circular nature.

It then discusses how ML workflows can be complex, involving multiple data sources, feature transformations, and models. Spark ML pipelines allow specifying the entire workflow as a single pipeline object. This simplifies debugging, re-running on new data, and parameter tuning. The document provides an example text classification pipeline and demonstrates how data is transformed through each step via DataFrames. It concludes by discussing upcoming improvements to Spark ML pipelines.
Building a Dataset Search Engine with Spark and Elasticsearch: Spark Summit E...Spark Summit
Elasticsearch provides native integration with Apache Spark through ES-Hadoop. However, especially during development, it is at best cumbersome to have Elasticsearch running in a separate machine/instance. Leveraging Spark Cluster with Elasticsearch Inside it is possible to run an embedded instance of Elasticsearch in the driver node of a Spark Cluster. This opens up new opportunities to develop cutting-edge applications. One such application is Dataset Search.
Oscar will give a demo of a Dataset Search Engine built on Spark Cluster with Elasticsearch Inside. Motivation is that once Elasticsearch is running on Spark it becomes possible and interesting to have the Elasticsearch in-memory instance join an (existing) Elasticsearch cluster. And this in turn enables indexing of Datasets that are processed as part of Data Pipelines running on Spark. Dataset Search and Data Management are R&D topics that should be of interest to Spark Summit East attendees who are looking for a way to organize their Data Lake and make it searchable.
The document describes a machine learning approach used by Polbase to classify scientific papers as either related or unrelated to DNA polymerases. It discusses three approaches to defining a classification rule, including using text searches, subject matter experts, or statistical modeling. The proposed system uses a machine learning classifier with components like an XML data feed from PubMed, data management in a PostgreSQL database, and a modeling stage to classify papers. The goal is to automatically discover new relevant papers to expand Polbase's reference repository.

The Pushdown of Everything by Stephan Kessler and Santiago MolaSpark Summit
Stephan Kessler and Santiago Mola presented SAP HANA Vora, which extends Spark SQL's data sources API to allow "pushing down" more of a SQL query's logical plan to the data source for execution. This "Pushdown of Everything" approach leverages data sources' capabilities to process less data and optimize query execution. They described how data sources can implement interfaces like TableScan, PrunedScan, and the new CatalystSource interface to support pushing down projections, filters, and more complex queries respectively. While this approach has advantages in performance, challenges include the complexity of implementing CatalystSource and ensuring compatibility across Spark versions. Future work aims to improve the API and provide utilities to simplify implementation.
Elasticsearch is an open source search engine based on Lucene. It allows for distributed, highly available, and real-time search and analytics of documents. Documents are indexed and stored across multiple nodes in a cluster, with the ability to scale horizontally by adding more nodes. Elasticsearch uses an inverted index to allow fast full-text searches of documents.

Why you should care about data layout in the file system with Cheng Lian and ...Databricks
Efficient data access is one of the key factors for having a high performance data processing pipeline. Determining the layout of data values in the filesystem often has fundamental impacts on the performance of data access. In this talk, we will show insights on how data layout affects the performance of data access. We will first explain how modern columnar file formats like Parquet and ORC work and explain how to use them efficiently to store data values. Then, we will present our best practice on how to store datasets, including guidelines on choosing partitioning columns and deciding how to bucket a table.
Designing Structured Streaming Pipelines—How to Architect Things RightDatabricks
"Structured Streaming has proven to be the best platform for building distributed stream processing applications. Its unified SQL/Dataset/DataFrame APIs and Spark's built-in functions make it easy for developers to express complex computations. However, expressing the business logic is only part of the larger problem of building end-to-end streaming pipelines that interact with a complex ecosystem of storage systems and workloads. It is important for the developer to truly understand the business problem needs to be solved.
What are you trying to consume? Single source? Joining multiple streaming sources? Joining streaming with static data?
What are you trying to produce? What is the final output that the business wants? What type of queries does the business want to run on the final output?
When do you want it? When does the business want to the data? What is the acceptable latency? Do you really want to millisecond-level latency?
How much are you willing to pay for it? This is the ultimate question and the answer significantly determines how feasible is it solve the above questions.
These are the questions that we ask every customer in order to help them design their pipeline. In this talk, I am going to go through the decision tree of designing the right architecture for solving your problem."
Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence is one of the hottest skills today, and is the cornerstone for reporting, data science, and analytics. This course teaches the fundamentals with examples plus a project to fully illustrate the concepts.
This document discusses various indexing techniques used to improve the performance of data retrieval from large databases. It begins by explaining the need for indexing to enable fast searching of large amounts of data. Then it describes several conventional indexing techniques including dense indexing, sparse indexing, and B-tree indexing. It also covers special indexing structures like inverted indexes, bitmap indexes, cluster indexes, and join indexes. The goal of indexing is to reduce the number of disk accesses needed to find relevant records by creating data structures that map attribute values to locations in storage.

The CSO Classifier: Ontology-Driven Detection of Research Topics in Scholarly...Angelo Salatino
Classifying research papers according to their research topics is an important task to improve their retrievability, assist the creation of smart analytics, and support a variety of approaches for analysing and making sense of the research environment. In this paper, we present the CSO Classifier, a new unsupervised approach for automatically classifying research papers according to the Computer Science Ontology (CSO), a comprehensive ontology of re-search areas in the field of Computer Science. The CSO Classifier takes as input the metadata associated with a research paper (title, abstract, keywords) and returns a selection of research concepts drawn from the ontology. The approach was evaluated on a gold standard of manually annotated articles yielding a significant improvement over alternative methods.

In this closing keynote session from the IRMS Conference 2025, Nikki Chapple and Ryan John Murphy deliver a compelling and practical guide to data protection, compliance, and information governance using Microsoft Purview. As organizations generate over 2 billion pieces of content daily in Microsoft 365, the need for robust data classification, sensitivity labeling, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has never been more urgent.
This session addresses the growing challenge of managing unstructured data, with 73% of sensitive content remaining undiscovered and unclassified. Using a mountaineering metaphor, the speakers introduce the “Secure by Default” blueprint—a four-phase maturity model designed to help organizations scale their data security journey with confidence, clarity, and control.
🔐 Key Topics and Microsoft 365 Security Features Covered:
Microsoft Purview Information Protection and DLP
Sensitivity labels, auto-labeling, and adaptive protection
Data discovery, classification, and content labeling
DLP for both labeled and unlabeled content
SharePoint Advanced Management for workspace governance
Microsoft 365 compliance center best practices
Real-world case study: reducing 42 sensitivity labels to 4 parent labels
Empowering users through training, change management, and adoption strategies
🧭 The Secure by Default Path – Microsoft Purview Maturity Model:
Foundational – Apply default sensitivity labels at content creation; train users to manage exceptions; implement DLP for labeled content.
Managed – Focus on crown jewel data; use client-side auto-labeling; apply DLP to unlabeled content; enable adaptive protection.
Optimized – Auto-label historical content; simulate and test policies; use advanced classifiers to identify sensitive data at scale.
Strategic – Conduct operational reviews; identify new labeling scenarios; implement workspace governance using SharePoint Advanced Management.
🎒 Top Takeaways for Information Management Professionals:
Start secure. Stay protected. Expand with purpose.
Simplify your sensitivity label taxonomy for better adoption.
Train your users—they are your first line of defense.
Don’t wait for perfection—start small and iterate fast.

Microsoft Build 2025 takeaways in one presentationDigitalmara
Microsoft Build 2025 introduced significant updates. Everything revolves around AI. DigitalMara analyzed these announcements:
• AI enhancements for Windows 11
By embedding AI capabilities directly into the OS, Microsoft is lowering the barrier for users to benefit from intelligent automation without requiring third-party tools. It's a practical step toward improving user experience, such as streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity. However, attention should be paid to data privacy, user control, and transparency of AI behavior. The implementation policy should be clear and ethical.
• GitHub Copilot coding agent
The introduction of coding agents is a meaningful step in everyday AI assistance. However, it still brings challenges. Some people compare agents with junior developers. They noted that while the agent can handle certain tasks, it often requires supervision and can introduce new issues. This innovation holds both potential and limitations. Balancing automation with human oversight is crucial to ensure quality and reliability.
• Introduction of Natural Language Web
NLWeb is a significant step toward a more natural and intuitive web experience. It can help users access content more easily and reduce reliance on traditional navigation. The open-source foundation provides developers with the flexibility to implement AI-driven interactions without rebuilding their existing platforms. NLWeb is a promising level of web interaction that complements, rather than replaces, well-designed UI.
• Introduction of Model Context Protocol
MCP provides a standardized method for connecting AI models with diverse tools and data sources. This approach simplifies the development of AI-driven applications, enhancing efficiency and scalability. Its open-source nature encourages broader adoption and collaboration within the developer community. Nevertheless, MCP can face challenges in compatibility across vendors and security in context sharing. Clear guidelines are crucial.
• Windows Subsystem for Linux is open-sourced
It's a positive step toward greater transparency and collaboration in the developer ecosystem. The community can now contribute to its evolution, helping identify issues and expand functionality faster. However, open-source software in a core system also introduces concerns around security, code quality management, and long-term maintenance. Microsoft’s continued involvement will be key to ensuring WSL remains stable and secure.
• Azure AI Foundry platform hosts Grok 3 AI models
Adding new models is a valuable expansion of AI development resources available at Azure. This provides developers with more flexibility in choosing language models that suit a range of application sizes and needs. Hosting on Azure makes access and integration easier when using Microsoft infrastructure.
Co-Constructing Explanations for AI Systems using ProvenancePaul Groth
Explanation is not a one off - it's a process where people and systems work together to gain understanding. This idea of co-constructing explanations or explanation by exploration is powerful way to frame the problem of explanation. In this talk, I discuss our first experiments with this approach for explaining complex AI systems by using provenance. Importantly, I discuss the difficulty of evaluation and discuss some of our first approaches to evaluating these systems at scale. Finally, I touch on the importance of explanation to the comprehensive evaluation of AI systems.

We’ll explore practical ways to contribute, from testing new features, and patches, to reporting bugs. By the end of this talk, the audience will have the tools and confidence to make a meaningful impact on WordPress—no matter the skill set.
New Ways to Reduce Database Costs with ScyllaDBScyllaDB
How ScyllaDB’s latest capabilities can reduce your infrastructure costs
ScyllaDB has been obsessed with price-performance from day 1. Our core database is architected with low-level engineering optimizations that squeeze every ounce of power from the underlying infrastructure. And we just completed a multi-year effort to introduce a set of new capabilities for additional savings.
Join this webinar to learn about these new capabilities: the underlying challenges we wanted to address, the workloads that will benefit most from each, and how to get started. We’ll cover ways to:
- Avoid overprovisioning with “just-in-time” scaling
- Safely operate at up to ~90% storage utilization
- Cut network costs with new compression strategies and file-based streaming
We’ll also highlight a “hidden gem” capability that lets you safely balance multiple workloads in a single cluster. To conclude, we will share the efficiency-focused capabilities on our short-term and long-term roadmaps.
