ACM Distinguished Speaker Talks

Another new semester has started at IIIT-Delhi and ACM Distinguished Speaker Talks is back for the third time. Read the details below to know more about the talk:

Abstract: Integration of XML documents demands consideration of similarities in both structure and content. This talk is about the structure and content semantic similarity detection of two XML documents from heterogeneous data sources. The talk will provide a description of the overall framework of XML integration based on content and structure semantic similarity using keys. This work introduces an approach to detect XML similarity and thus to join XML document versions using a change detection mechanism. In this approach, subtree keys still play an important role in order to avoid unnecessary subtree comparisons within multiple versions of the same document and the results improvement in the XML structure and content similarity comparisons. The main contribution is to provide an approach for evaluating semantic similarity between XML path expressions from two different XML structures. Comparisons with the previous systems shows that this approach has a better performance by a big order of magnitude in terms of detection, false-positive rates and execution time.
