Abstract: Data science promises to deliver the power of extracting value from data at an unprecedented scale. However, several fundamental data science tasks call for data management solutions that need to address problems of time efficiency, anytime operation, and space efficiency in order to fulfill this promise. In this talk, we will examine three completed or envisaged cases of data management solutions providing scalability, anytime characteristics, and space efficiency to data science tasks. We will first investigate the question of constructing graph node representations, or embeddings, with an anytime algorithm that also provides non-trivial error guarantees. We will then examine how a classical solution for Viterbi decoding by a dynamic programming algorithm can be rendered more space efficient via an application of sophisticated data management techniques. Last, we will outline how the optimal actions in a finite-horizon Markov Decision Process can be computed in a space-efficient manner as well. We will conclude with a vision on how data management expertise can facilitate and advance the frontiers of data science.
