Extracting relevant patterns from heterogeneous data streams poses significant computational and analytical challenges. Further, identifying such patterns and pushing analogous content to interested parties according to mission needs in real-time is a difficult problem. This paper presents the design of SKOD, a novel Situational Knowledge Query Engine that continuously builds a multi-modal relational knowledge base using SQL queries; SKOD pushes dynamic content to relevant users through triggers based on modeling of users’ interests. SKOD is a scalable, real-time, on-demand situational knowledge extraction and dissemination framework that processes streams of multi-modal data utilizing publish/subscribe stream engines. The initial prototype of SKOD uses deep neural networks and natural language processing techniques to extract and model relevant objects from video streams and topics, entities and events from unstructured text resources such as Twitter and news articles. Through its extensible architecture, SKOD aims to provide a high-performance, generic framework for situational knowledge on demand, supporting effective information retrieval for evolving missions.

Improving the performance of Hadoop/Hive by sharing scan and computation tasks
Özal, Serkan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
MapReduce is a popular model of executing time-consuming analytical queries as a batch of tasks on large scale data. During simultaneous execution of multiple queries, many oppor- tunities can arise for sharing scan and/or computation tasks. Executing common tasks only once can reduce the total execution time of all queries remarkably. Therefore, we propose to use Multiple Query Optimization (MQO) techniques to improve the overall performance of Hadoop Hive, an open source SQL-based distributed warehouse sy...
GMDH: An R Package for Short Term Forecasting via GMDH-Type Neural Network Algorithms
DAĞ, OSMAN; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan (2016-08-01)
Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithms are the heuristic self organization method for the modelling of complex systems. GMDH algorithms are utilized for a variety of purposes, examples include identification of physical laws, the extrapolation of physical fields, pattern recognition, clustering, the approximation of multidimensional processes, forecasting without models, etc. In this study, the R package GMDH is presented to make short term forecasting through GMDH-type neural n...

Multi-Modal Learning With Generalizable Nonlinear Dimensionality Reduction
KAYA, SEMİH; Vural, Elif (2019-08-26)
In practical machine learning settings, there often exist relations or links between data from different modalities. The goal of multimodal learning algorithms is to efficiently use the information available in different modalities to solve multi-modal classification or retrieval problems. In this study, we propose a multi-modal supervised representation learning algorithm based on nonlinear dimensionality reduction. Nonlinear embeddings often yield more flexible representations compared to linear counterpa...
Multimodal query-level fusion for efficient multimedia information retrieval
Sattari, Saeid; Yazıcı, Adnan (2018-10-01)
Managing a large volume of multimedia data containing various modalities such as visual, audio, and text reveals the necessity for efficient methods for modeling, processing, storing, and retrieving complex data. In this paper, we propose a fusion-based approach at the query level to improve query retrieval performance of multimedia data. We discuss various flexible query types including the combination of content as well as concept-based queries that provide users with the ability to efficiently perform mu...
