1. SEBD 2021 Conversational OLAP (discussion paper) Matteo Francia, Enrico Gallinucci, Matteo Golfarelli University of Bologna, Italy 29th Italian Symposium on Advanced Database Systems (SEBD 2021)

2. SEBD 2021 Motivation Goal: query multidimensional cubes through natural language Natural language enables analytics in hand-free scenarios [1] - Augmented reality or with smart assistants OLAP is based on standard operators [2] - No help in query construction and natural language disambiguation We introduce COOL (COnversational OLap) [3] Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 2 Introduction [1] Matteo Francia, Matteo Golfarelli, Stefano Rizzi: A-BI+: A framework for Augmented Business Intelligence. Information Systems. (2020) [2] Panos Vassiliadis, Patrick Marcel, Stefano Rizzi: Beyond roll-up's and drill-down's: An intentional analytics model to reinvent OLAP. Information Systems.

5. SEBD 2021 Robustness: given a text T, we allow several mappings - E.g., by matching each n-gram to a set of similar entities from the KB T = «return the average sales for the product NY in each region» M1 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Region M2 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Regin ⟨GPSJ⟩ ::= ⟨MC⟩⟨GC⟩⟨SC⟩ ⟨MC⟩ ::= (⟨Agg⟩⟨Mea⟩ | ⟨Cnt⟩⟨Fct⟩)+ ⟨GC⟩ ::= “𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 𝑏𝑦” ⟨Attr⟩+ ⟨SC⟩ ::= “𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒” ⟨SCA⟩ ⟨SCA⟩ ::= ⟨SCN⟩ “𝑎𝑛𝑑” ⟨SCA⟩ | ⟨SCN⟩ ⟨SCN⟩ ::= “𝑛𝑜𝑡” ⟨SSC⟩ | ⟨SSC⟩ ⟨SSC⟩ ::= ⟨Attr⟩⟨Cop⟩⟨Val⟩ | ⟨Attr⟩⟨Val⟩ | ⟨Val⟩ ⟨Cop⟩ ::= “=” | “<>” | “>” | “<” | “≥” | “≤” ⟨Agg⟩ ::= “𝑠𝑢𝑚” | “𝑎𝑣𝑔” | “𝑚𝑖𝑛” | “𝑚𝑎𝑥” ⟨Cnt⟩ ::= “𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡” | “𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑡” ⟨Fct⟩ ::= Domain-specific facts ⟨Mea⟩ ::= Domain-specific measures ⟨Attr⟩ ::= Domain-specific attributes ⟨Val⟩ ::= Domain-specific values COOL: interpretation Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 5 COOL: interpretation M1 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Region Mea Agg “where” MC SC GPSJ SCA SCN SSC Val Cop Attr “group by”Attr GC T = «return the average sales for the product NY in each region»

6. SEBD 2021 COOL: ambiguities Not all syntactically-correct clauses are "valid" - E.g., New York is not a Product - Annotate it - Ask a question for each ambiguity Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 6 M1 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Region Mea Agg “where” MC SC GPSJ SCA SCN SSC Val Cop Attr “group by”Attr GC AVM COOL: interpretation T = «return the average sales for the product NY in each region» New York is a not a product, could you pick a product among ...?

7. SEBD 2021 COOL: ambiguities Some clauses could be excluded from the GPSJ query - Annotate them for (possible) addiction Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 7 COOL: interpretation M2 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Regin Mea Agg “where” “group by” MC SC GPSJ Val SCA SCN SSC SCA SCN SSC Val SC Attr Cop AVM unparsed T = «return the average sales for the product NY in each region» Do you want to add the selection predicate "Regin"?

8. SEBD 2021 COOL: scoring function Return the forest with the highest score Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 8 COOL: interpretation M1 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Region Mea Agg “where” MC SC GPSJ SCA SCN SSC Val Cop Attr “group by”Attr GC AVM M2 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Regin Mea Agg “where” “group by” MC SC GPSJ Val SCA SCN SSC SCA SCN SSC Val SC Attr Cop AVM unparsed Score(PFM1) Score(PFM2) Score(M1) Score(M2) Score(PFM1) > Score(PFM2)

9. SEBD 2021 COOL: scoring function Also, use the score for pruning purpose - Sort all the mappings by descending score Score(M) - First, parse the mapping with the highest Score(M) - Then, parse only the mappings s.t. Score(M) > Score(PFM) Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 9 COOL: interpretation M1 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York, group by, Region Mea Agg “where” MC SC GPSJ SCA SCN SSC Val Cop Attr “group by”Attr GC AVM M3 = avg, UnitSales, where, Product, =, New York Score(PFM1) Score(M3) Score(M1)

10. SEBD 2021 Experimental Evaluation Top-𝑘 accuracy by varying the similarity 𝛼 to build the mappings - Real-world dataset from [1] - Accuracy is stable wrt to 𝑘 (up to 94%) - 𝛼 depends on the inaccuracies in the text Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 10 Results [1] K. Drushku, J. Aligon, N. Labroche, P. Marcel, V. Peralta, Interest-based recommendations for business intelligence users, Inf. Syst. 86 (2019)

11. SEBD 2021 User Evaluation 40 users with heterogeneous OLAP skills - Asked to translate (Italian) analytic goals into English - Users provided good feedback on the interface... - ... as well as on the interpretation accuracy Matteo Francia – University of Bologna 11 Results Full Query OLAP operator OLAP Familiarity Accuracy Time (s) Accuracy Time (s) Low 0.91 141 0.86 102 High 0.91 97 0.92 71
