Association rule mining is a common technique for extracting correlations such as people in the South of France buy rosé wine or customers who buy paté also buy salted butter and sour bread. Unfortunately, sifting through a high number of buying patterns is not useful in practice, because of the predominance of popular products in the top rules. As a result, a number of \"interestingness\" measures (over 30) have been proposed to rank rules. However, there is no agreement on which measures are more appropriate for retail data. Moreover, since pattern mining algorithms output thousands of association rules for each product, the ability for an analyst to rely on ranking measures to identify the most interesting ones is crucial. In this paper, we develop CAPA (Comparative Analysis of PAtterns), a framework that provides analysts with the ability to compare different rule rankings. We report on how we used C A PA to compare 34 interestingness measures applied to patterns extracted from customer receipts of more than 1,800 stores for a period of one year.","PeriodicalId":193885,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA)","volume":"43 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114116545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A crucial problem of Null Hypothesis Statistical Testing (NHST), the backbone of A/B testing methodology, is that experimenters are not allowed to continuously monitor the results and make decisions in real time. Many people see this restriction as a setback against the trend in the technology toward real time data analytics. Recently, Bayesian Hypothesis Testing, which intuitively is more suitable for real time decision making, attracted growing interest as a viable alternative to NHST. While corrections of NHST for the continuous monitoring setting are well established in the existing literature and known in A/B testing community, the debate over the issue of whether continuous monitoring is a proper practice in Bayesian testing exists among both academic researchers and general practitioners. In this paper, we formally prove the validity of Bayesian testing under proper stopping rules, and illustrate the theoretical results with concrete simulation illustrations. We point out common bad practices where stopping rules are not proper, and discuss how priors can be learned objectively. General guidelines for researchers and practitioners are also provided.","PeriodicalId":193885,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA)","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115212799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advances in Bayesian nonparametric machine learning, in particular the theory of topic models based on Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP), has provided an elegant solution towards these challenges. However, limited existing methods have addressed the problem of inferring latent multifaceted activities and contexts from heterogeneous data sources such as those collected from mobile devices. In this paper, we extend the original HDP to model heterogeneous data using a richer structure of the base measure being a product-space. The proposed model, called product-space HDP (PS-HDP), naturally handles the heterogeneous data from multiple sources and identify the unknown number of latent structures in a principle way. Although this framework is generic, our current work primarily focuses on inferring (latent) threefold activities of who-when-where simultaneously, which corresponds to inducing activities from data collected for identity, location and time. We demonstrate our model on synthetic data as well as on a real-world dataset – the StudentLife dataset. We report results and provide analysis on the discovered activities and patterns to demonstrate the merit of the model. We also quantitatively evaluate the performance of PS-HDP model using standard metrics including F1-score, NMI, RI, purity, and compare them with well-known existing baseline methods.","PeriodicalId":193885,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA)","volume":"1965 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127482525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
