Data Polygamy: The Many-Many Relationships among Urban Spatio-Temporal Data Sets

Summary: Data Polygamy proposes a topology-based framework to find statistically significant, local spatio-temporal relationships among urban data sets. It handles scale variety, indexing/querying, and filtering spurious links, validated on 300+ datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
