A great challenge in the bioinformatics field is to discover gene interactions from such measurements and estimate gene networks. In this paper, we exploit data mining techniques for discovering interactions among genes based on multiple expression measurements. We present an application of the Apriori algorithm to extract temporal association rules from gene expression data. Furthermore, we address the problem of real value discretization by using both fixed thresholds and clustering techniques. Finally, we estimate the value of each rule by means of an appropriate quality index. Preliminary experimental results on Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle gene expression data show the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":305750,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th International IEEE Conference Intelligent Systems","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131985941","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}

Clustering is the problem of partitioning a set of data using unsupervised techniques. An important characteristic of a clustering technique is the shape of the cluster it can find. Clustering methods which are capable to find simple cluster shapes are usually fast but inaccurate for complex data sets. Ones capable to find complex cluster shapes are usually not fast but accurate. In this paper, we propose a simple clustering technique named circlusters. Circlusters are circles partitioned into different radius sectors. Circlusters can be used to create hybrid approaches with density based or partitioning based methods. We also propose a naive clustering method that is capable to find complex clusters in O(n). This method operates in two phases. In the first phase, circlusters are created to approximate the shape of the data set. In the second phase, connected circlusters are found to form the final clusters.","PeriodicalId":305750,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th International IEEE Conference Intelligent Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114932966","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 similarity relation we consider is an a-cut of a particular fuzzy equivalence relation with a being a similarity threshold supplied by a user which controls the meaning of ldquohighly similarrdquo.

This understanding includes, among other tasks, automatically generating and maintaining models of human actions, goals and plans. This paper presents a system to infer the actions that people perform in order to accomplish activities of daily living starting from sensory inputs. Our approach is based on using relational learning to infer predictions about which action has just been executed. We learn a model for recognizing executed actions based on the state changes detected from sensor readings. Each change has been produced by a performed action, while a sequence of these actions forms a plan to accomplish a high-level action or to achieve a goal. Using a relational learning tool, Tilde, we obtain classifiers to map changes in the states to actions performed by a user. We have performed some experiments using an environment simulator feeded by data gathered from real human behaviour. The results show that we can obtain a good accuracy even in presence of noise.","PeriodicalId":305750,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th International IEEE Conference Intelligent Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123325017","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}
