Performance optimization for querying social network data

Holzschuher, F.; Peinl, René (2014)

Joint EDBT/ICDT 2014 Workshop GraphQ, Athens, Greece; 03/2014.


 

In this paper, we report about benchmark experiments and results from optimizing database connectivity for querying social networking data from Apache Shindig in a Neo4j database. We built on our experiments from [1] and tried to improve performance of the current RESTful http connection in comparison to JDBC in order to fully utilize performance benefits of the graph database compared to relational database management systems. We implemented a database driver based on WebSockets. We found that BSON is a better data transfer format than JSON and compression increases performance in some settings while decreasing it in others. Multiple WebSocket connections are needed to scale to a high number of client requests and fully utilize database performance. Multi-threading is another key factor for scalability. Implementing a kind of stored procedure, we were able to further increase throughput and decrease response times.

Efficiency of Hybrid Index Structures - Theoretical Analysis and a Practical Application

Göbel, Richard; Kropf, Carsten; Müller, Sven (2014)

Journal of Visual Languages & Computing 25 (6), S. 182-188.

Hybrid index structures support access to heterogeneous data types in multiple columns. Several experiments confirm the improved efficiency of these hybrid access structures. Yet, very little is known about the worst case time and space complexity of them. This paper aims to close this gap by introducing a theoretical framework supporting the analysis of hybrid index structures. This framework then is used to derive the constraints for an access structure which is both time and space efficient. An access structure based on a B+-Tree augmented with bit lists representing sets of terms from texts is the outcome of the analysis which is then validated experimentally together with a hybrid R-Tree variant to show a logarithmic search time complexity.

Social Knowledge Environments, Business Information Systems

Knowledge management represents a key issue for both information systems’ academics and practitioners, including those who have become disillusioned by actual results that fail to deliver on exaggerated promises and idealistic visions. Social software, a tremendous global success story, has prompted similarly high expectations regarding the ways in which organizations can improve their knowledge handling. But can these expectations be met, whether in academic research or the real world? This article seeks to identify current research trends and gaps, with a focus on social knowledge environments. The proposed research agenda features four focal challenges: semi-permeable organizations, social software in professional work settings, crowd knowledge, and cross-border knowledge management. Three solutions emerge as likely methods to address these challenges: design-oriented solutions, analytical solutions, and interdisciplinary dialogue.

PoliTwi: Early Detection of Emerging Political Topics on Twitter and the Impact on Concept-Level Sentiment Analysis

Rill, Sven; Reinel, Dirk; Scheidt, Jörg; Zicari, Roberto V. (2014)

Knowledge-Based Systems 2014.
DOI: 10.1016/j.knosys.2014.05.008


Open Access
 

In this work, we present a system called PoliTwi, which was designed to detect emerging political topics (Top Topics) in Twitter sooner than other standard information channels. The recognized Top Topics are shared via different channels with the wider public. For the analysis, we have collected about 4,000,000 tweets before and during the parliamentary election 2013 in Germany, from April until September 2013. It is shown, that new topics appearing in Twitter can be detected right after their occurrence. Moreover, we have compared our results to Google Trends. We observed that the topics emerged earlier in Twitter than in Google Trends.

Finally, we show how these topics can be used to extend existing knowledge bases (web ontologies or semantic networks) which are required for concept-level sentiment analysis. For this, we utilized special Twitter hashtags, called sentiment hashtags, used by the German community during the parliamentary election.

Evaluation of an Algorithm for Aspect-Based Opinion Mining Using a Lexicon-Based Approach

Wogenstein, Florian; Drescher, Johannes; Reinel, Dirk; Rill, Sven (2013)

Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Issues of Sentiment Discovery and Opinion Mining (WISDOM). ACM 2013, 5, S. 1-8.
DOI: DOI: 10.1145/2502069.2502074


Open Access
 

In this paper, we present a study of aspect-based opinion mining using a lexicon-based approach. We use a phrase-based opinion lexicon for the German language to investigate, how good strong positive and strong negative expressions of opinions, concerning products and services in the insurance domain, can be detected. We perform experiments on hand-tagged statements expressing opinions retrieved from the Ciao platform. The initial corpus contained about 14,000 sentences from 1,600 reviews. For both, positive and negative statements, more than 100 sentences were tagged. We show, that the algorithm can reach an accuracy of 62.2% for positive, but only 14.8% for negative utterances of opinions. We examine the cases, in which the opinion could not correctly be detected or in which the linking between the opinion statement and the aspect fails. Especially, the large gap in accuracy between positive and negative utterances is analysed.
