Knowledge graphs are considered an important representation that lies between free text on one hand and fully-structured relational data on the other. Knowledge graphs are a backbone of many applications on the Web. With the rise of many large-scale open-domain knowledge graphs like Freebase, DBpedia, and Yago, various applications including document retrieval, question answering, and data integration have been relying on them.

Abstract: The talk will present the ultra-scalable distributed algorithm to process transactional management and how it has been implemented as part of the LeanXcale database. The talk will go into the details on how ACID properties have been scaled out independently in a composable manner.

PhD Seminar • HoloDetect: Few-Shot Learning for Error Detection

Alireza Heidari, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

We introduce a few-shot learning framework for error detection. We show that data augmentation (a form of weak supervision) is key to training high-quality, ML-based error detection models that require minimal human involvement.

Thanks to the advance in mobile and touch screen devices, handwritten input has gained more popularity among users. When considering mathematical input, however, handwritten math interfaces have to deal with new problems and issues not found in natural language. A popular area of interest that deals with math formulae recognition is math information retrieval (MIR).
