Background Sleep is a complex and dynamic biological process characterized by different sleep patterns. Comprehensive sleep monitoring and analysis using multivariate polysomnography (PSG) records has achieved significant efforts to prevent sleep-related disorders. To alleviate the time consumption caused by manual visual inspection of PSG, automatic multivariate sleep stage classification has become...
Predicting patients' risk of developing certain diseases is an important research topic in healthcare. Personalized predictive modeling, which focuses on building specific models for individual patients, has shown its advantages on utilizing heterogeneous health data compared to global models trained on the entire population. Personalized predictive models use information from similar patient cohorts,...
In the big data era, the information about the same object collected from multiple sources is inevitably conflicting. The task of identifying true information (i.e., the truths) among conflicting data is referred to as truth discovery, which incorporates the estimation of source reliability degrees into the aggregation of multi-source data. However, in many real-world applications, large-scale data...
Online social networks have become popular platforms for spammers to spread malicious content and links. Existing state-of-the-art optimization methods mainly use one kind of user-generated information (i.e., single view) to learn a classification model for identifying spammers. Due to the diversity and variability of spammers' strategies, spammers' behavior may not be completely characterized only...
Discovering topics in short texts, such as news titles and tweets, has become an important task for many content analysis applications. However, due to the lack of rich context information in short texts, the performance of conventional topic models on short texts is usually unsatisfying. In this paper, we propose a novel topic model for short text corpus using word embeddings. Continuous space word...
In crowdsourced data aggregation task, there exist conflicts in the answers provided by large numbers of sources on the same set of questions. The most important challenge for this task is to estimate source reliability and select answers that are provided by high-quality sources. Existing work solves this problem by simultaneously estimating sources' reliability and inferring questions' true answers...
Topical Influential User Analysis (TIUA) is an important technique in Twitter. Existing techniques neglected relationship strength between users, which is a crucial aspect for TIUA. For modeling relationship strength, interaction frequency between users has not been considered in previous works. In this paper, we firstly introduce a poisson regression-based latent variable model to estimate relationship...
An algorithm named SMHP is proposed, which aims at improving the efficiency of Topic Detection. In SMHP, a T-MI-TFIDF model is designed by introducing mutual information (MI) and enhancing the weight of terms in the title. Then VSM is constructed according to terms' weight, and the dimension is reduced by combining H-TOPN and PCA. Then topics are grouped based on SMHP. Experiment results show the...
