Human-Centric Graph Data Management

Table of Contents

Modern data-intensive applications rely on graph databases, yet graphs frequently contain inconsistencies that violate structural constraints. My work addresses this from a human-centric perspective: rather than fully automated fixes, I develop interactive repair frameworks that keep users in control of the process.

Key research questions
#

  • How can we design repair systems that are transparent and explainable to non-expert users?
  • How can constraint violations be detected and resolved interactively, at scale?
  • What role can Large Language Models play in assisting constraint mining and repair?
