Mining Concept In Big Data, Jingjing Yang

Master's Projects

To fruitful using big data, data mining is necessary. There are two well-known methods, one is based on apriori principle, and the other one is based on FP-tree. In this project we explore a new approach that is based on simplicial complex, which is a combinatorial form of polyhedron used in algebraic topology. Our approach, similar to FP-tree, is top down, at the same time, it is based on apriori principle in geometric form, called closed condition in simplicial complex. Our method is almost 300 times faster than FP-growth on a real world database using a SJSU laptop. The database …

An Open Source Advertisement Server, Pushkar Umaranikar

Master's Projects

This report describes a new online advertisement system and its implementation for the Yioop open source search engine. This system was implemented for my CS298 project. It supports both selling advertisements and displaying them within search results. The selling of advertisement is done using a novel auction system, which we describe in this paper. With this auction system, it is possible to create an advertisement, attach keywords to it, and add it to the advertisement inventory. An advertisement is displayed on a search results page if the search keyword matches the keywords attached to the advertisement. Display of advertisements is …

A Scalable Search Engine Aggregator, Pooja Mishra

Master's Projects

The ability to display different media sources in an appropriate way is an integral part of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, as well as social networking sites like Facebook, etc. This project explores and implements various media-updating features of the open source search engine Yioop [1]. These include news aggregation, video conversion and email distribution. An older, preexisting news update feature of Yioop was modified and scaled so that it can work on many machines. We redesigned and modified the user interface associated with a distributed news updater feature in Yioop. This project also introduced a video …

Context-Based Autosuggest On Graph Data, Hai Nguyen

Master's Projects

Autosuggest is an important feature in any search applications. Currently, most applications only suggest a single term based on how frequent that term appears in the indexed documents or how often it is searched upon. These approaches might not provide the most relevant suggestions because users often enter a series of related query terms to answer a question they have in mind. In this project, we implemented the Smart Solr Suggester plugin using a context-based approach that takes into account the relationships among search keywords. In particular, we used the keywords that the user has chosen so far in the …

Index Strategies For Efficient And Effective Entity Search, Huy T. Vu

Master's Projects

The volume of structured data has rapidly grown in recent years, when data-entity emerged as an abstraction that captures almost every data pieces. As a result, searching for a desired piece of information on the web could be a challenge in term of time and relevancy because the number of matching entities could be very large for a given query. This project concerns with the efficiency and effectiveness of such entity queries. The work contains two major parts: implement inverted indexing strategies so that queries can be searched in minimal time, and rank results based on features that are independent …
