GARMT: Grouping-Based Association Rule Mining to Predict Future Tables in Database Queries by Peixiong He, Libo Sun, Xian Gao, Yi Zhou, Xiao Qin

“…However, data sparsity—where most fields in large table sets remain unused by most queries—leads to inefficiencies in access optimization. We propose a grouping-based approach (GARMT) that partitions SQL queries into fixed-size groups and applies a modified FP-Growth algorithm (GFP-Growth) to identify frequent table access patterns. …”

Characterizing Satellite Soil Moisture Drydown: A Bivariate Filtering Approach by Jhilam Sinha, Ashish Sharma, Lucy Marshall, Seokhyeon Kim

“…Abstract Drying of soil impacts land energy and water balance, influences the sustainability of vegetation growth, and modulates hydrological extremes including floods. While satellite soil moisture data are widely used for a range of environmental applications, systematic differences from regional in‐situ data prevent their optimal use as key physical signatures (such as soil moisture recession, also termed drydown) are represented differently. …”
