In dynamic fields, as time passes the attribute of phenomenon varies in spatial locations. Detecting events in dynamic fields requires an approach to deal with the highly granular data arriving in real time. This paper proposes a spatiotemporal event detection algorithm in dynamic fields which are monitored by wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The algorithm provides a method using probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) in WSNs to cope with the uncertainty of sensor readings. The algorithm incorporates the ability of Markov chains in temporal dependency modelling and Markov random fields theory to model the spatial dependency of sensors in a distributed fashion. Experimental evaluation of the proposed algorithm demonstrates that the decentralized approach improves the F1-score to 82% and 29% better precision than simple threshold technique. In addition, the performance of the algorithm was evaluated and compared with respect to the scalability (in terms of communication complexity). In comparison with the centralized approach the decentralized algorithm can substantially improve the scalability of communication in wireless sensor networks.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129185572","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}

The main task of this paper is to provide a solution to exploring dynamics across manifold entities in multivariate data paired with a time-to-event dimension. The Self-Organizing Time Map (SOTM) provides means for visual dynamic clustering by illustrating temporal dynamics on a two-dimension plane. Likewise, the SOTM holds promise for illustrating patterns in time-to-event data by simply interchanging the time dimension for a time-to-event dimension. This provides a new approach to visual analysis of patterns in multivariate data before, during and after events of interest. The time-to-event SOTM is illustrated on toy and real-world data. The real-world case illustrates dynamics in macro-financial data before, during and after modern systemic financial crises.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132783807","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}

In this paper, we present a product ranking system using opinion mining techniques. Users can specify product features to get back the ranking results of all matched products. In this system, we consider three issues while calculating product scores: 1) product reviews, 2) product popularity, and 3) product release month.

This highly reduces the complexity of dealing with different languages since we can train a document classifier using the labeled documents in one language, and then apply it to classify documents in another language. This topic modeling task is usually performed in a class-independent manner. The performance of CCA depends on the amount of documents used for inferring the semantic space. However, CCA has a high computational complexity with respect to the number of training documents. In this paper, we proposed a scalable variant of CCA, CD-CCA, to improve its scalability and complexity where the projection is performed in a class-dependent manner. It generates a semantic space for each category separately. Then a binary document classifier is trained for each category on its own semantic space. CD-CCA was applied on English-Chinese document classification. The experimental results showed that CD-CCA can deal with large training sets without hurting the performance of the underlying classifiers compared to traditional CCA. CD-CCA opens the door for distributed training of the semantic spaces of the different categories.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133730566","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}

An e-mail address, often contains surname as a substring. This containment may be full or partial. An e-mail address categorization based on semantics of surnames is the objective of this paper. This is achieved in two phases. First phase deals with surname representation and clustering. Here, a vector space model is proposed where latent semantic analysis is performed. Clustering is done using the method called average-linkage method. In the second phase, an email is categorized as belonging to one of the categories (discovered in first phase). For this, substring matching is required, which is done in an efficient way by using suffix tree data structure. We perform experimental evaluation for the 500 most frequently occurring surnames in India and United Kingdom. Also, we categorize the e-mail addresses that have these surnames as substrings.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133707567","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}

Classification models can classify, early in the test planning phase, those test cases that are likely to detect faults in the upcoming regression test. Due to the high uncertainties in regression test, classification models based on fuzzy logic are very useful. Recently, methods have been proposed for automatically generating fuzzy if-then rules by applying complicated rule generation procedures to numerical data. In this research, we introduce and demonstrate a new rule-based fuzzy classification (RBFC) modeling approach as a method for identifying high effective test cases. The modeling approach, based on test case metrics and the proposed rule generation technique, is applied to extracting fuzzy rules from numerical data. In addition, it also provides a convenient way to modify rules according to the costs of different misclassification errors. We illustrate our modeling technique with a case study of large-scale industrial software systems and the results showed that test effectiveness and efficiency was significantly improved.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116311243","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}

Many approaches have been developed to overcome this issue, but they all suffer from major drawbacks.

In this paper, we propose to exploit the largely neglected spatial aspects in the smart home to recognize the activity of daily living (ADLs) of a resident in a noninvasive fashion. To do so, we designed an extension to well-known data mining algorithms that we exploit to automatically learn the models of the resident ADLs. The models are built from the retrieval of spatial patterns corresponding to the topological relationships of the smart home entities. We demonstrate the advantages of our new semi-supervised system through comprehensive experiments inside a smart home and compare the results with expert defined models of activity.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124676346","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}

Predicting whether a friendship holds in a social network between two individuals or not, link prediction, has been a heavily researched topic in the last decade . In this paper we investigate a related problem, link strength prediction: how to assign ratings or strengths to friendship links. A basic approach would be matrix factorization applied to only friendship ratings. However, the existence of extensive transactions among users may be used for better predictions. We propose a new type of multiple-matrix factorization model for incorporating a transaction matrix. We derive gradient descent update equations for learning latent factors that predict values in the target rating matrix. Multiple-matrix factorization can be seen as a data fusion technique, that combines evidence from different sources. In the social network application, the target matrix contains friendship ratings and the evidence matrices specify transaction intensities between users. To evaluate the model, we introduce data from Cloob, a popular Iranian social network as well as synthetic data.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"13 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120860707","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}
