Abstract:Abstract. Multidimensional data is systematically analysed at multiple granularities by applying aggregate and disaggregate operators (e.g., by the use of OLAP tools). For instance, in a supermarket we may want to predict sales of tomatoes for next week, but we may also be interested in predicting sales for all vegetables (higher up in the product hierarchy) for next Friday (lower down in the time dimension). While the domain and data are the same, the operating context is different. We explore several approac… Show more
“…Representation change: This category is observed when the attribute representation or their meaning changes from context to context. For instance, some attributes may be merged, or the granularity of the data may change [46] (e.g., a model was built for forecasting sales at city-level but will now need to be adapted to country-level). Task change: A more radical context change is when the task itself changes.…”

“…The three kinds of reframing identified here can be combined in many different ways. For instance, in multidimensional aggregation by means of a data cube [46] both the input variables and the output values are aggregated depending on the operating context (the data cube). Multidimensional approaches are based on hierarchies, and examples and predictions can be aggregated at different levels of the attribute hierarchies, such as the ones shown in Figure 3.…”

“…In the multidimensional datamart example [46] the operating context is an OLAP cube, and θ is not only composed of many parameters but they are also discrete. These cases lead to more complex context plots, but some representations or simplifications may still be insightful.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
