Traditional algorithms for multiway join computation are based on rewriting the order of joins and combining results of intermediate subqueries. Recently, several approaches have been proposed for algorithms that are "worst-case optimal" wherein all relations are scanned simultaneously. An example is Veldhuizen's Leapfrog Trie Join (LFTJ). An important advantage of LFTJ is its small memory footprint, due to the fact that intermediate results are full tuples that can be dumped immediately. However, since the algorithm does not store intermediate results, recurring joins must be reconstructed from the source relations, resulting in excessive memory traffic. In this paper, we address this problem by incorporating caches into LFTJ. We do so by adopting recent developments on join optimization, tying variable ordering to tree decomposition. While the traditional usage of tree decomposition computes the result for each bag in advance, our proposed approach incorporates caching directly into LFTJ and can dynamically adjust the size of the cache. Consequently, our solution balances memory usage and repeated computation, as confirmed by our experiments over SNAP datasets.
Recent works have made significant advances on summarization tasks, facilitated by summarization datasets. Several existing datasets have the form of coherent-paragraph summaries. However, these datasets were curated from academic documents written for experts, making the essential step of assessing the summarization output through human-evaluation very demanding.To overcome these limitations, we present a dataset 1 based on article summaries appearing on the WikiHow website, composed of howto articles and coherent-paragraph summaries written in plain language. We compare our dataset attributes to existing ones, including readability and world-knowledge, showing our dataset makes human evaluation significantly more manageable and effective. A human evaluation conducted on PubMed and the proposed dataset reinforces our findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
