Automated Big Data Quality Assessment using Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Hadi Fadlallah, Rima Kilany, Mitri Haber et al.

Automated data quality assessment is crucial for managing big data, but existing solutions face challenges in achieving accurate context-aware assessment. This paper presents a novel knowledge-based approach to enhance automated data quality assessment. Our approach utilizes knowledge graph embeddings to predict missing edges between the input dataset's context representation and the relevant quality rules and dimensions within a knowledge graph representing contextual data characteristics and the required quality assessment operations. We surpass conventional practices by integrating diverse representations within the knowledge graph, drawing insights from contextual information from a thorough literature investigation. This integration allows us to develop a comprehensive and context-specific data quality assessment plan tailored to each context. Leveraging the knowledge graph improves our understanding of the input dataset's context, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods that rely solely on strict matching and overlook contextual characteristics. By injecting numerical edge attributes, we assign corresponding weights to each predicted quality measurement, providing a comprehensive data quality assessment plan for the input dataset. To evaluate our approach, we leverage AmpliGraph, a framework developed and benchmarked by AccentureLabs. The evaluation involves employing a real-world radiation sensors dataset provided by the Lebanese Atomic Energy Commission (LAEC-CNRS). The results obtained from this evaluation demonstrate the capability of our solution to generate a comprehensive data quality assessment plan for the given input dataset.

On the usefulness of information hiding techniques for wireless sensor networks security

Rola Al-Sharif, Christophe Guyeux, Yousra Ahmed Fadil et al.

A wireless sensor network (WSN) typically consists of base stations and a large number of wireless sensors. The sensory data gathered from the whole network at a certain time snapshot can be visualized as an image. As a result, information hiding techniques can be applied to this "sensory data image". Steganography refers to the technology of hiding data into digital media without drawing any suspicion, while steganalysis is the art of detecting the presence of steganography. This article provides a brief review of steganography and steganalysis applications for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Then we show that the steganographic techniques are both related to sensed data authentication in wireless sensor networks, and when considering the attacker point of view, which has not yet been investigated in the literature. Our simulation results show that the sink level is unable to detect an attack carried out by the nsF5 algorithm on sensed data.
