Although there have been many efforts for management of uncertain data, evaluating probabilistic inference queries, a known NP-hard problem, is still a big challenge, especially for querying data with highly correlations. The state-of-art exact algorithms for accelerating the evaluation of inference queries are based on special indices. Besides, with the observation of the existence of many frequent queries, some researchers try to improve efficiency by reusing previously queried results. Indexing depends on the static properties like data distributions, whereas caching is in favor of the dynamic features like query workload. In this paper we propose a new approach for speeding up the evaluation of inference queries by caching frequent results in a junction tree-based hierarchical index. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort on utilizing both the static (data) and dynamic (query workload) properties to efficiently evaluate probabilistic inference queries. Moreover, according to our experience, different caching strategies may significantly affect the query performance. Basically a good caching strategy needs to have high cache hit ratio with limited space budget.Based on these considerations, we propose a novel caching approach, called FVEC, and present corresponding algorithms for efficiently querying correlated uncertain data. We further conduct a series of extensive experiments on large uncertain datasets in order to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed approaches. As illustrated by the results, compared with previous solutions, our method could greatly improve the query performance. © Springer-Verlag 2013. |
