From Trees to Barcodes and Back Again: A Combinatorial, Probabilistic and Geometric Study of a Topological Inverse Problem

In this thesis, we investigate the inverse problem of trees and barcodes from a combinatorial, geometric, probabilistic and statistical point of view. Computing the persistent homology of a merge tree yields a barcode B. Reconstructing a tree from B invol ...

Automated Reconstruction of Evolving Curvilinear Tree Structures

Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki

Curvilinear networks are prevalent in nature and span many different scales, ranging from micron-scale neural structures in the brain to petameter-scale dark-matter arbors binding massive galaxy clusters. Reliably reconstructing them in an automated fashio ...

RRB Vector: A Practical General Purpose Immutable Sequence

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nicolas Alexander Stucki, Vlad Ureche

State-of-the-art immutable collections have wildly differing performance characteristics across their operations, often forcing programmers to choose different collection implementations for each task. Thus, changes to the program can invalidate the choice ...

RUBIK: Efficient Threshold Queries on Massive Time Series

Anastasia Ailamaki, Thomas Heinis, Farhan Tauheed, Eleni Tzirita Zacharatou

An increasing number of applications from finance, meteorology, science and others are producing time series as output. The analysis of the vast amount of time series is key to understand the phenomena studied, particularly in the simulation sciences, wher ...

Scaling Similarity Joins over Tree-Structured Data

Given a large collection of tree-structured objects (e.g., XML documents), the similarity join finds the pairs of objects that are similar to each other, based on a similarity threshold and a tree edit distance measure. The state-of-the-art similarity join ...

BF-Tree: Approximate Tree Indexing

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis

The increasing volume of time-based generated data and the shift in storage technologies suggest that we might need to reconsider indexing. Several workloads - like social and service monitoring - often include attributes with implicit clustering because o ...

Dendritic tree extraction from noisy maximum intensity projection images in C-elegans

Pascal Fua, Raphael Sznitman, Josué Sznitman

Background: Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP) of neuronal dendritic trees obtained from confocal microscopy are frequently used to study the relationship between tree morphology and mechanosensory function in the model organism C. elegans. Extracting den ...

Scalable and Dynamically Balanced Shared-Everything OLTP with Physiological Partitioning

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Pinar Tözün, Ippokratis Pandis

Scaling the performance of shared-everything transaction processing systems to highly-parallel multicore hardware remains a challenge for database system designers. Recent proposals alleviate locking and logging bottlenecks in the system, leaving page latc ...

OLTP in Wonderland -- Where do cache misses come from in major OLTP components?

Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün

For several decades, online transaction processing has been one of the main applications that drives innovations in the data management ecosystem, and in turn the database and computer architecture communities. Despite the novel approaches from industry an ...

Fast and shift-insensitive similarity comparisons of NMR using a tree-representation of spectra

Luc Patiny, Julien Wist

An efficient method to extract and store information from NMR spectra is proposed that is suitable for comparison and construction of a search engine. This method based on trees doesn't require any peak picking or any pre-treatment of the data and is found ...

Automated Reconstruction of Curvilinear Networks from 2D and 3D Imagery

Engin Türetken

Reconstructing complex curvilinear structures such as neural circuits, road networks, and blood vessels is a key challenge in many scientific and engineering fields. It has a broad range of applications, from the delineation of micrometer-sized neurons in ...

Automated Reconstruction of Tree Structures using Path Classifiers and Mixed Integer Programming

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Fethallah Benmansour

Although tracing linear structures in 2D images and 3D image stacks has received much attention over the years, full automation remains elusive. In this paper, we formulate the delineation problem as one of solving a Quadratic Mixed Integer Program (Q-MIP) ...

A Speculation-Friendly Binary Search Tree

Vincent Gramoli

We introduce the first binary search tree algorithm designed for speculative executions. Prior to this work, tree structures were mainly designed for their pessimistic (non-speculative) accesses to have a bounded complexity. Researchers tried to evaluate t ...

Automated Reconstruction of Dendritic and Axonal Trees by Global Optimization with Geometric Priors

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Germán González Serrano

We present a novel probabilistic approach to fully automated delineation of tree structures in noisy 2D images and 3D image stacks. Unlike earlier methods that rely mostly on local evidence, ours builds a set of candidate trees over many different subsets ...

A metric for phylogenetic trees based on matching

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

Comparing two or more phylogenetic trees is a fundamental task in computational biology. The simplest outcome of such a comparison is a pairwise measure of similarity, dissimilarity, or distance. A large number of such measures have been proposed, but so t ...
