IR has been gaining increasing attention in recent years because of its recognized association with gene expression regulation and complex diseases. Continuous efforts have been dedicated to the development of IR detection methods. These methods differ in their metrics to quantify retention propensity, performance to detect IR events, functional enrichment of detected IRs, and computational speed. A systematic experimental comparison would be valuable to the selection and use of existing methods. In this work, we conduct an experimental comparison of existing IR detection methods. Considering the unavailability of a gold standard dataset of intron retention, we compare the IR detection performance on simulation datasets. Then, we compare the IR detection results with real RNA-Seq data. We also describe the use of differential analysis methods to identify disease-associated IRs and compare differential IRs along with their Gene Ontology enrichment, which is illustrated on an Alzheimer's disease RNA-Seq dataset. We discuss key principles and features of existing approaches and outline their differences. This systematic analysis provides helpful guidance for interrogating transcriptomic data from the point of view of IR.","PeriodicalId":52355,"journal":{"name":"Big Data Mining and Analytics","volume":"5 1","pages":"15-31"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8254253/9663253/09663257.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68077702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In real-world scenarios, identifying potential clients is a crucial issue for IFAs, i.e., identifying users who are willing to purchase the portfolios. Thus, extracting useful information from various characteristics of users and further predicting their purchase inclination are urgent. However, two critical problems encountered in real practice make this prediction task challenging, i.e., sample selection bias and data sparsity. In this study, we formalize a potential conversion relationship, i.e., user ! activated user ! client and decompose this relationship into three related tasks. Then, we propose a Multitask Feature Extraction Model (MFEM), which can leverage useful information contained in these related tasks and learn them jointly, thereby solving the two problems simultaneously. In addition, we design a two-stage feature selection algorithm to select highly relevant user features efficiently and accurately from an incredibly huge number of user feature fields. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on a real-world dataset provided by a famous fintech bank. Experimental results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of MFEM.","PeriodicalId":52355,"journal":{"name":"Big Data Mining and Analytics","volume":"5 1","pages":"64-78"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8254253/9663253/09663261.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68077805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing methods usually predict the value of each slot independently and do not consider the correlations among slots, which will exacerbate the data sparsity problem because of the increased number of candidate values. In this paper, we propose a multi-domain DST model that integrates slot-relevant information. In particular, certain connections may exist among slots in different domains, and their corresponding values can be obtained through explicit or implicit reasoning. Therefore, we use the graph adjacency matrix to determine the correlation between slots, so that the slots can incorporate more slot-value transformer information. Experimental results show that our approach has performed well on the Multi-domain Wizard-Of-Oz (MultiWOZ) 2.0 and MultiWOZ2.1 datasets, demonstrating the effectiveness and necessity of incorporating slot-relevant information.","PeriodicalId":52355,"journal":{"name":"Big Data Mining and Analytics","volume":"5 1","pages":"41-52"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8254253/9663253/09663259.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68077701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of these characteristics, the blockchain is suitable for solving certain open problems in the service-oriented social network, where the unreliability of submitted reviews of service vendors can cause serious security problems. To solve the unreliability problems of submitted reviews, this paper first proposes a blockchain-based identity authentication scheme and a new trusted service evaluation model by introducing the scheme into a service evaluation model. The new trusted service evaluation model consists of the blockchain-based identity authentication scheme, evaluation submission module, and evaluation publicity module. In the proposed evaluation model, only users who have successfully been authenticated can submit reviews to service vendors. The registration and authentication records of users' identity and the reviews for service vendors are all stored in the blockchain network. The security analysis shows that this model can ensure the credibility of users' reviews for service vendors, and other users can obtain credible reviews of service vendors via the review publicity module. The experimental results also show that the proposed model has a lower review submission delay than other models.","PeriodicalId":52355,"journal":{"name":"Big Data Mining and Analytics","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8254253/9663253/09663256.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68077704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a particularly profound issue for high-dimensional gravitational wave data analysis where one requires to conduct Bayesian inference and estimate joint posterior distributions. In this study, we incorporate prior physical knowledge by sampling from desired interim distributions to develop the training dataset. Accordingly, the more relevant regions of the high-dimensional feature space are covered by additional data points, such that the model can learn the subtle but important details. We adapt the normalizing flow method to be more expressive and trainable, such that the information can be effectively extracted and represented by the transformation between the prior and target distributions. Once trained, our model only takes approximately 1 s on one V100 GPU to generate thousands of samples for probabilistic inference purposes. The evaluation of our approach confirms the efficacy and efficiency of gravitational wave data inferences and points to a promising direction for similar research.

An increasing volume of data is being collected every single second to enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the Internet of Things (IoT). The explosion of data brings significant benefits to various intelligent industries to provide predictive services and research institutes to advance human knowledge in data-intensive fields. To make the best use of the collected data, various data mining techniques have been deployed to extract data patterns. In classic scenarios, the data collected from IoT devices is directly sent to cloud servers for processing using diverse methods such as training machine learning models. However, the network between cloud servers and massive end devices may not be stable due to irregular bursts of traffic, weather, etc. Therefore, autonomous data mining that is self-organized by a group of local devices to maintain ongoing and robust AI services plays a growing important role for critical IoT infrastructures. Privacy issues become more concerning in this scenario. The data transmitted via autonomous networks are publicly accessible by all internal participants, which increases the risk of exposure. Besides, data mining techniques may reveal sensitive information from the collected data. Various attacks, such as inference attacks, are emerging and evolving to breach sensitive data due to its great financial benefits. Motivated by this, it is essential to devise novel privacy-preserving autonomous data mining solutions for AIoT. In this Special Issue, we aim to gather state-of-art advances in privacy-preserving data mining and autonomous data processing solutions for AIoT.

It is a huge challenge to apply a GNN to an embedding Heterogeneous Information Network (HIN). The main reason for this challenge is that HINs contain many different types of nodes and different types of relationships between nodes. HIN contains rich semantic and structural information, which requires a specially designed graph neural network. However, the existing HIN-based graph neural network models rarely consider the interactive information hidden between the meta-paths of HIN in the poor embedding of nodes in the HIN. In this paper, we propose an Attention-aware Heterogeneous graph Neural Network (AHNN) model to effectively extract useful information from HIN and use it to learn the embedding representation of nodes. Specifically, we first use node-level attention to aggregate and update the embedding representation of nodes, and then concatenate the embedding representation of the nodes on different meta-paths. Finally, the semantic-level neural network is proposed to extract the feature interaction relationships on different meta-paths and learn the final embedding of nodes. Experimental results on three widely used datasets showed that the AHNN model could significantly outperform the state-of-the-art models.","PeriodicalId":52355,"journal":{"name":"Big Data Mining and Analytics","volume":"4 4","pages":"233-241"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8254253/9523493/09523497.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68020434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
