Revolutionize Wikipedia Search Wikipedia currently only supports keyword-based search and does not allow more expressive queries like “Give me all cities in New Jersey with more than 10,000 inhabitants” or “Give me all Italian musicians from the 18th century.” This lowers the overall utility of Wikipedia. One major application domain for the DBpedia data set is to enable sophisticated queries against Wikipedia, which could revolutionize the access to this valuable knowledge source. Here are three prototypical search interfaces using different approaches to improve Wikipedia search: DBpedia Faceted Search – allows you to explore Wikipedia via a faceted browsing interface.

Examples of different queries that can be asked against DBpedia are found on the OnlineAccess and Datasets pages. 2. The Driving Force Behind Big Data: Data Connectivity. In most organizations, stakeholders maintain the perspective that Big Data offers tremendous benefits to the enterprise, especially when it comes to more agile business intelligence and analytics.

The Driving Force Behind Big Data: Data Connectivity

Unfortunately, the days of complete visibility into Big Data are numbered – there is simply too much of it. While we may see companies promoting fancy strategies for managing ‘fire hose data’, only the ones focused on analytics will get close to creating meaning from the massive deluge. As a result, companies are looking to plug into new advancements in relational and non-relational programming frameworks that support the processing of large data sets. Data connectivity components, such as drivers, help enterprise organizations effectively satisfy the bulk data access requirements for a broad array of use cases.

AdaBoost. While every learning algorithm will tend to suit some problem types better than others, and will typically have many different parameters and configurations to be adjusted before achieving optimal performance on a dataset, AdaBoost (with decision trees as the weak learners) is often referred to as the best out-of-the-box classifier.

AdaBoost

When used with decision tree learning, information gathered at each stage of the AdaBoost algorithm about the relative 'hardness' of each training sample is fed into the tree growing algorithm such that later trees tend to focus on harder to classify examples. Overview[edit] Training[edit] AdaBoost refers to a particular method of training a boosted classifier. Quiver (mathematics) A quiver Γ consists of:

Aurelius. Windy City DB - Recommendation Engine with Neo4j. How to beat the CAP theorem. The CAP theorem states a database cannot guarantee consistency, availability, and partition-tolerance at the same time.

How to beat the CAP theorem

But you can't sacrifice partition-tolerance (see here and here), so you must make a tradeoff between availability and consistency. Managing this tradeoff is a central focus of the NoSQL movement. Consistency means that after you do a successful write, future reads will always take that write into account. TinkerPop. Marko A. Rodriguez. EC2 Instance Types. Use Cases Small and mid-size databases, data processing tasks that require additional memory, caching fleets, and for running backend servers for SAP, Microsoft SharePoint, cluster computing, and other enterprise applications.

Graph database. Graph databases are part of the NoSQL databases created to address the limitations of the existing relational databases.

Graph database

While the graph model explicitly lays out the dependencies between nodes of data, the relational model and other NoSQL database models link the data by implicit connections. Graph databases, by design, allow simple and fast retrieval[citation needed] of complex hierarchical structures that are difficult to model[according to whom?] In relational systems. Graph databases are similar to 1970s network model databases in that both represent general graphs, but network-model databases operate at a lower level of abstraction[3] and lack easy traversal over a chain of edges.[4] Graph databases differ from graph compute engines.
