Abstract

With the need for flexible and on-demand decision support, Dynamic Data Warehouses (DDW) provide benefits over traditional data warehouses due to their dynamic characteristics in structuring and access mechanism. A DDW is a data framework that accommodates data source changes easily to allow seamless querying to users. Materialized Views (MV) are proven to be an effective methodology to enhance the process of retrieving data from a DDW as results are pre-computed and stored in it. However, due to the static nature of materialized views, the level of dynamicity that can be provided at the MV access layer is restricted. As a result, the collection of materialized views is not compatible with ever-changing reporting requirements. It is important that the MV collection is consistent with current and upcoming queries. The solution to the above problem must consider the following aspects: (a) MV must be matched against an OLAP query in order to recognize whether the MV can answer the query, (b) enable scalability in the MV collection, an intuitive mechanism to prune it and retrieve closely matching MVs must be incorporated, (c) MV collection must be able to evolve in correspondence to the regularly changing user query patterns. Therefore, the primary objective of this paper is to explore these aspects and provide a well-rounded solution for the MV access layer to remove the mismatch between the MV collection and reporting requirements. Our contribution to solve the problem includes a Query Matching Technique, a Domain Matching Technique and Maintenance of the MV collection. We developed an experimental platform using real data-sets to evaluate the effectiveness in terms of performance and precision of the proposed techniques.

Compass: General Filtered Search across Vector and Structured Data

The increasing prevalence of hybrid vector and relational data necessitates efficient, general support for queries that combine high-dimensional vector search with complex relational filtering. However, existing filtered search solutions are fundamentally limited by specialized indices, which restrict arbitrary filtering and hinder integration with general-purpose DBMSs. This work introduces \textsc{Compass}, a unified framework that enables general filtered search across vector and structured data without relying on new index designs. Compass leverages established index structures -- such as HNSW and IVF for vector attributes, and B+-trees for relational attributes -- implementing a principled cooperative query execution strategy that coordinates candidate generation and predicate evaluation across modalities. Uniquely, Compass maintains generality by allowing arbitrary conjunctions, disjunctions, and range predicates, while ensuring robustness even with highly-selective or multi-attribute filters. Comprehensive empirical evaluations demonstrate that Compass consistently outperforms NaviX, the only existing performant general framework, across diverse hybrid query workloads. It also matches the query throughput of specialized single-attribute indices in their favorite settings with only a single attribute involved, all while maintaining full generality and DBMS compatibility. Overall, Compass offers a practical and robust solution for achieving truly general filtered search in vector database systems.

NeurIDA: Dynamic Modeling for Effective In-Database Analytics

Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) manage complex, interrelated data and support a broad spectrum of analytical tasks. With the growing demand for predictive analytics, the deep integration of machine learning (ML) into RDBMS has become critical. However, a fundamental challenge hinders this evolution: conventional ML models are static and task-specific, whereas RDBMS environments are dynamic and must support diverse analytical queries. Each analytical task entails constructing a bespoke pipeline from scratch, which incurs significant development overhead and hence limits wide adoption of ML in analytics. We present NeurIDA, an autonomous end-to-end system for in-database analytics that dynamically "tweaks" the best available base model to better serve a given analytical task. In particular, we propose a novel paradigm of dynamic in-database modeling to pre-train a composable base model architecture over the relational data. Upon receiving a task, NeurIDA formulates the task and data profile to dynamically select and configure relevant components from the pool of base models and shared model components for prediction. For friendly user experience, NeurIDA supports natural language queries; it interprets user intent to construct structured task profiles, and generates analytical reports with dedicated LLM agents. By design, NeurIDA enables ease-of-use and yet effective and efficient in-database AI analytics. Extensive experiment study shows that NeurIDA consistently delivers up to 12% improvement in AUC-ROC and 25% relative reduction in MAE across ten tasks on five real-world datasets.

kgsteward: a tool for building, reproducing and maintaining distributed knowledge graphs

Collaborative research projects in life sciences increasingly need to integrate private, embargoed consortium data with public reference databases in order to reach statistically meaningful interpretations. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is well suited to this task: it facilitates the integration of heterogeneous data sources, and allows researchers to keep data and their documentation as metadata in the same place, provided the knowledge graph itself remains private during the time course of the project. Nevertheless, the development and long-term maintenance of a scientific knowledge graph remains a challenging, labour-intensive endeavour owing to the state of constant flux of most public resources. To tackle this challenge, we present kgsteward, a Python command-line tool that builds and maintains knowledge graphs inside RDF stores from a single, version-controlled configuration file. kgsteward supports multiple triplestores, keeps the local graph up-to-date with its external sources possibly already in RDF, or transformed into it on the fly, and uses SPARQL 1.1 UPDATE commands to amend further imported RDF on the fly. It can also validate the resulting graph with SPARQL queries that double as usage examples for both human users and AI agents. kgsteward has already been used in several collaborative projects at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, and we demonstrate its applicability in two real-world international research projects: one that builds a library of plant extracts with chemical analyses and associated bio-activities, and a second that reconciles public reference resources for human metabolic-network reconstruction.
