Where Does Database Research Go From Here?
The past few years of generative AI have upended research agendas across academia. Having just spent my sabbatical in the Bay Area, where the San Francisco fog is mixed with a tinge of forest fire and LLMs, I wanted to reflect on the role of the academic database research community within this sea change from the […]

Auditing bias of recourse in classifiers (part II)
Introduction Fairness is a fundamental principle reflecting our innate sense of justice and equity. The essence of fairness lies in the equitable, unbiased and just treatment of all individuals. In our previous post (part I), we provided an introduction to the bias of recourse problem. In this post (part II), we describe our framework for […]

Auditing bias of recourse in classifiers (part I)
Introduction Fairness is a fundamental principle reflecting our innate sense of justice and equity. The essence of fairness lies in the equitable, unbiased and just treatment of all individuals. Nevertheless, translating this principle to specific rules, people, and systems can adhere to is highly context specific, with context meaning, social and cultural circumstances, as well […]

To KG or not to KG, that is the question!
Even before retrieval augment generation (RAG) became a buzzword, researchers have been working on the infusion of knowledge bases with language models, allowing for better nudging of parametric knowledge in these models [1]. The source of this external knowledge can range from subject-relation-object tuples from knowledge graphs (KG) to summaries of Wikipedia pages. While studies […]

Large Language Models, Knowledge Graphs, and Vector Databases: Synergy and Opportunities for Data Management (A Report on the LLM+KG@VLDB24 Workshop’s Panel Discussion)
Introduction Large language models (LLMs) and vector databases (Vector DBs) are becoming two vital enablers of generative AI (GenAI), a form of artificial intelligence that learns from massive datasets to generate new data, showcasing human-like creativity in text, images to code, speech, and video. In particular, LLMs are currently revolutionizing the field of natural language […]
