Context Operator (3)
• Data values that hold for every tuple are generally “projected out” and added to the Web page’s surrounding text.
• Context takes as input a single extracted Table T and modifies it to contain additional columns, using data retrieved from T’s source Web Page
Extend Operator
ExtendTopic
Keywordk
Column cof relation T
Extended T’
Extend Operator (2)• Enables the user to add more columns to the table by
performing a join. • Takes a column “c” of table T as input and a topic keyword
“k”.• It returns 1or more columns whose values are described by k.• The new column added to T does not necessarily come from
a single data source. • It gathers data from large number of sources. • It can also gather data from table with different label from k
or no label at all.
ALGORITHMS
1. Integration Operators2. Algorithms3. Implementation at Scale4. Experiments5. Related Work6. Conclusions
Algorithms
• Search – Ranking– Clustering
• Context• Extend
• Search:– Rank the Table by relevance to Users Query– Cluster other related tables around top ranking Search
result.
Ranking Algorithms• Simple Rank
– Transmits the users search query to Web Search engine, obtains the URL ordering and presents the data according to that order.
– Drawbacks:• Ranks Individual whole page and not the data on that page.
– Eg: persons home page contains a HTML list that serve as navigation list to other pages.
• When multiple data sets are present on the web page, SR algorithm relies on in-page ordering. (ie. In the order of its appearance)
• Any metadata about the HTML lists exists only in the surrounding text and not the table itself.
– Cannot count hits between the query and a specific tables metadata.
Ranking Algorithms (2)
• SCPRank
𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 (𝐶𝑜𝑙 1 )=∑ 𝑠𝑐𝑝 (𝑞 ,)𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 (𝐶𝑜𝑙2 )=∑ 𝑠𝑐𝑝 (𝑞 ,)𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 (𝐶𝑜𝑙2 )=∑ 𝑠𝑐𝑝 (𝑞 ,)𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 (𝑇𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 )=𝑀𝑎𝑥 ()
Ranking Algorithms (3)• SCPRank
– Uses symmetric conditional probability to measure correlation between cell in extracted database and query term. It is defined as:
• How likely the term q and c appear together in a document.– SCPRank scores the table and not the cell.– It sends the query to the Search Engine, extracting a candidate set of tables. – Then it computes per-column scores, each of which is sum of per-cell SCP score in the
column. – The tables overall score is the max of all of its per-column scores.– Finally it sorts the tables in the order of their scores and returns a ranked list. – Time consuming. – Compute score for first ‘r’ rows of every candidate table.– Approximating SCP score on a small subset of Web corpus.
Embedded Appendix:
symmetric conditional probability• Let s be a term. The p(s) is the fraction of web documents
that contain s
• Similarly, p(s1, s2) is the fraction of documents containing both s1 and s2:
• The SCP between a query q and the text in a data cell c is defined as follows:
• Indicates how likely the term q and c appear together in a document.
Ranking Algorithms (4)
Clustering Algorithms• TextCluster
– computes tf-idf cosine dist between texts of table a and text of table b.
• SizeCluster– computes column to column similarity score that measures
the difference in mean string length between them.– The overall table-to-able similarity score for a pair of table is
sum of per column score for best column-to-column matching.• ColumnCluster
– Its similar to Size Cluster however it computes a tf-idf cosine distance using only the text found in the 2 columns.
Embedded Appendix:
tf-idf• term frequency–inverse document frequency• reflects how important a word is to a
document in a collection or corpus– highest when the term occurs many times within a
small number of documents– lower when the term occurs fewer times in a
document, or occurs in many documents– lowest when the term occurs in virtually all
documents
Context Algorithms• SignificantTerms
– Examines the source page of the extracted table and returns the k terms with the highest tf-idf values and do not appear in the extracted data.
• RVP (Related View Partners)– Looks beyond the source page.– Operating on the table T, it obtains a large number of candidate related
view tables, by using each value in T as parameter for a new Web Search – Then filters out tables that are unrelated to t’s source page, by removing
all tables that do not contain at least one value from ST(T)– It obtains all the data value in the remaining table and ranks them
according to the frequency of occurrence, returns the k highest ranked values.
Context Algorithms (2)• Hybrid
– It uses the fact that the above 2 algorithm are complimentary in nature.
– ST finds the context terms that RVP misses and RVP discovers the context terms that ST misses.
– Hybrid returns the context term that appear in result of either algorithm.

Extend Algorithms (2)
• JoinTest– Combines web search and key-matching to perform
schema matching– Uses Jaccardian distance to measure the
compatibility between the values of T’s column c and each column of in each candidate table.
– If the distance is greater than a constant threshold t, we consider the tables to be joinable
– All tables that pass this threshold, are sorted by relevance to keyword k
Embedded Appendix:
Jaccardian Distance• Jaccard similarity coefficient
– measures similarity between sample sets• Jaccardian Distance
– measures dissimilarity between sample sets

Extend Algorithms (4)
• MultiJoin– Attempts to join each tuple of in the source table T with a
potentially different table• Can handle the case when there is no single joinable table.
– Issues a distinct web search query for every (c.cell,k) pair– Clusters the results– Ranks the clusters, using a combination of relevance score
for the ranked table and a join score for the cluster.• JoinScore counts how many unique values from from T’s c column
elicited tables in the cluster via the web search step
Extend Algorithms (5)
IMPLEMENTATION AT SCALE
1. Integration Operators2. Algorithms3. Implementation at Scale4. Experiments5. Related Work6. Conclusions
Implementation at Scale• Question: Can Octopus ever provide low latencies for a mass audience?• Challenges
– Traditional relevance-based Web search chalenges– Non-adjacent SCP computations for
• Search ScpRank algorithm– Multi-Query web searches for
• Context RVP algorithm• Extend MultiJoin algorithm
• Search engines can afford to spend a huge amount of resources in order to quickly process a single query, but the same is not true for one Contopus user who yields tens of thousands of queries
• Case 1: 2 small prototype back-end systems• Case 2: Approximation techniques to make it computationally feasible
Non-adjacent SCP computations
• Not feasible to precompute word-pair statistics: just for pairs of tokens, each sampled document would yield O(w2) unique token combinations
• Miniature search engine that fits entirely in memory– 100GiB RAM over 100 machines– Few billion web pages– No absolute precision for hitcount numbers (in order to
save memory by representing document setsusing Bloom Filters)
Embedded Appendix:
Bloom Filter• A Bloom filter, is a space-efficient probabilistic
data structure that is used to test whether an element is a member of a set
• Query can return– "inside set (may be wrong)“– "definitely not in set"
Multi-Query web searches
• The naïve Context RVP algorithm implementation requires r*d Web searches– r: number of tables processed by Context– d: average number of sampled non-numeric data
cells in each table• d in fairly low values (e.g.30)• RVP offers a real gain in quality• MultiJoin has a smaller problem, as it needs 1
query per row
EXPERIMENTS
1. Integration Operators2. Algorithms3. Implementation at Scale4. Experiments5. Related Work6. Conclusions
Experiements
• The goal is to evaluate the quality of results generated by each Octopus Oerator
• Collecting Queries– Collected a diverse query load from Web Users,
using Amazon Mechanical Turk. Each user suggested
• Topic of Data Table• 2 distinct URLs that provide example tables
Experiments (2)
Ranking Experiments
• Run the ranking phase of search on each of the above 52 queries, first using SimpleRank, then ScpRank
• Two judges, drawn from Amazon Mechanical Turk, labeled the table’s relevance to the query, on a scale 1-5.
• Table was marked as relevant only when both judges gave score 4 or higher
Ranking Experiments (2)
• Results– ScpRank performs substantially better than
SimpleRank, especially in Top-2 case.– The extra computational overhead clearly offers
real gains in result quality
Clustering Experiments• Issued queries and obtained a sorted list of tables, using
ScpRank– Best Table for each result manually chosen and used as center input to
the clustering system• Cluster quality assessed by computing the percentage of queries
in which a k-sized cluster contains a table that is “highly similar” to the center.
• Determine whether a table is “highly similar”, by asking two users from Amazon Mechanical Turk to rate the similarity of the pair in a scale 1-5.
• Table was marked as “highly similar” only when both judges gave score 4 or higher
Clustering Experiments (2)• Results
– k: cluster size: the system has only k “guesses” to find a table that is similar to the center
– Little variance in quality across all algorithms
Context Experiments• Top-1 relevant table per query• Two of the authors manually reviewed each Table’s source
page, noting terms that appeared to be useful context values• The values that both reviewers noted, were added in the test
set of true context values• Within the test set, there is a median of 3 test context values
per table• Measured the percentage of tables, where a true context
value is included in the top-k of the context terms, generated by each algorithm
Context Experiments (2)• Results
– Context can adorn a table with useful data from the surrounding text over 80% of the time– Although the RVP and SignificantTerms are not disjoint, RVP is able to discover new context
terms that were missed by SignificantTerms– SignificantTerms does not yield the best output quality, but it is still efficient and very easy to
implement
Extend Experiments• A small number of queries that appear to be Extend-able were
chosen• Top-1 ranked “relevant” table returned from search was used• Join column c and topic keyword query k were chosen by hand
opting for values that appear to be ammendable to Extend processing
Extend Experiments (2)• Results
– JoinTest (tries to find a single satisfactory table) only found extended tuples in 3 cases
• Countries• US Cities• UK Political Parties
– In this 3 cases, 60% of tuples were extended– MultiJoin found extended data for all cases– On average, 33% of the source tuples were extended– MultiJoin has a lower rate of tuple-extension than JoinTest– MultiJoin finds an average of 45.5 correct extension values for every successfully
–extended source tuple.– MultiJoin shows flexibility on per-tuple approach– With MultiJoin, fewer rows may be extended, but at least some data can be
found.
Experiments Summary
• It is possible to obtain high-quality results for all three Octopus operators
• Even with imperfect outputs, Octopus improves the productivity of the user
• Promising areas of future research– Output quality– Algorithmic runtime performance
