Efficient Top-k Retrieval on Massive Data
Abstract
Top-k query is an important operation to return a set of interesting points in a potentially huge data space. It is analyzed in this paper that the existing algorithms cannot process top-k query on massive data efficiently. Efficient Top-k Retrieval on Massive Data paper proposes a novel table-scan-based T2S algorithm to efficiently compute top-k results on massive data. T2S first constructs the presorted table, whose tuples are arranged in the order of the round-robin retrieval on the sorted lists. T2S maintains only fixed number of tuples to compute results. The early termination checking for T2S is presented in this paper, along with the analysis of scan depth. The selective retrieval is devised to skip the tuples in the presorted table which are not top-k results. The theoretical analysis proves that selective retrieval can reduce the number of the retrieved tuples significantly. The construction and incremental-update/batch-processing methods for the used structures are proposed.
CHAPTER 1 –INTRODUCTION
Top-k query is an important operation to return a set of interesting points from a potentially huge data space. In top-k query, a ranking function F is provided to determine the score of each tuple and k tuples with the largest scores are returned. Due to its practical importance, top-k query has attracted extensive attention proposes a novel table-scan-based T2S algorithm (Top-k by Table Scan) to compute top-k results on massive data efficiently.
The analysis of scan depth in T2S is developed also. The result size k is usually small and the vast majority of the tuples retrieved in PT are not top-k results, this paper devises selective retrieval to skip the tuples in PT which are not query results. The theoretical analysis proves that selective retrieval can reduce the number of the retrieved tuples significantly.
The construction and incremental-update/batch-processing methods for the data structures are proposed in this paper. The extensive experiments are conducted on synthetic and real life data sets.
CHAPTER 2- LITERATURE REVIEW
Existing System:
To its practical importance, top-k query has attracted extensive attention. The existing top-k algorithms can be classified into three types: indexbased methods view-based methods and sorted-list-based methods . latest android app ideas 2019 Index-based methods (or view-based methods) make use of the pre-constructed indexes or views to process top-k query.
A concrete index or view is constructed on a specific subset of attributes, the indexes or views of exponential order with respect to attribute number have to be built to cover the actual queries, which is prohibitively expensive. The used indexes or views can only be built on a small and selective set of attribute combinations.
Sorted-list-based methods retrieve the sorted lists in a round-robin fashion, maintain the retrieved tuples, and update their lower-bound and upper-bound scores. When the kth largest lower-bound score is not less than the upper-bound scores of other candidates, the k candidates with the largest lower-bound scores are top-k results.
Sorted-list-based methods compute topk results by retrieving the involved sorted lists and naturally can support the actual queries. However, it is analyzed in this paper that the numbers of tuples retrieved and maintained in these methods increase exponentially with attribute number, increase polynomially with tuple number and result size.
Disadvantages:
- Computational Overhead.
- Data redundancy is more.
- Time consuming process.
Problem Definition:
Ranking is a central part of many information retrieval problems, such as document retrieval, collaborative filtering, sentiment analysis, computational advertising (online ad placement).
Training data consists of queries and documents matching them together with relevance degree of each match. It may be prepared manually by human assessors (or raters, as Google calls them), who check results for some queries and determine relevance of each result. It is not feasible to check relevance of all documents, and so typically a technique called pooling is used only the top few documents, retrieved by some existing ranking models are checked.
Typically, users expect a search query to complete in a short time (such as a few hundred milliseconds for web search), which makes it impossible to evaluate a complex ranking model on each document in the corpus, and so a two-phase scheme is used.
Proposed System:
Our proposed system describe with layered indexing to organize the tuples into multiple consecutive layers. The top-k results can be computed by at most k layers of tuples. Also our propose layer-based Pareto-Based Dominant Graph to express the dominant relationship between records and top-k query is implemented as a graph traversal problem.
Then propose a dual-resolution layer structure. Top k query can be processed efficiently by traversing the dual-resolution layer through the relationships between tuples. propose the Hybrid- Layer Index, which integrates layer level filtering and list-level filtering to significantly reduce the number of tuples retrieved in query processing propose view-based algorithms to pre-construct the specified materialized views according to some ranking functions.
Given a top-k query, one or more optimal materialized views are selected to return the top-k results efficiently. Propose LPTA+ to significantly improve efficiency of the state-of-the-art LPTA algorithm. The materialized views are cached in memory; LPTA+ can reduce the iterative calling of the linear programming sub-procedure, thus greatly improving the efficiency over the LPTA algorithm. In practical applications, a concrete index (or view) is built on a specific subset of attributes. Due to prohibitively expensive overhead to cover all attribute combinations, the indexes (or views) can only be built on a small and selective set of attribute combinations.
If the attribute combinations of top-k query are fixed, index-based or viewbased methods can provide a superior performance. However, on massive data, users often issue ad-hoc queries, it is very likely that the indexes (or views) involved in the ad-hoc queries are not built and the practicability of these methods is limited greatly.
Correspondingly, T2S only builds presorted table, on which top-k query on any attribute combination can be dealt with. This reduces the space overhead significantly compared with index-based (or view-based) methods, and enables actual practicability for T2S.
Advantages:
- The evaluation of an information retrieval system is the process of assessing how well a system meets the information needs of its users.
- Traditional evaluation metrics, designed for Boolean retrievalor top-k retrieval, include precision and recall.
- All common measures described here assume a ground truth notion of relevancy: every document is known to be either relevant or non-relevant to a particular query.
