In this paper we consider the problem of discovering frequent temporal patterns in a database of temporal sequences, where a temporal sequence is a set of items with associated dates and durations. Since the quantitative temporal information appears to be fundamental in many contexts, it is taken into account in the mining processes and returned as part of the extracted knowledge. To this end, we...
Automatic indexing of music by instruments and their types is a challenging problem, especially when multiple instruments are playing at the same time. We have built a database containing more than one million of music instrument sounds, each described by a large number o features including standard MPEG7 audio descriptors, features for speech recognition, and many new audio features developed by...
Several predictive systems are nowadays vital for operations and decision support. The quality of these systems is most of the time defined by their average accuracy which has low or no information at all about the estimated error of each individual prediction. In many sensitive applications, users should be allowed to associate a measure of reliability to each prediction. In the case of batch systems,...
Reliability is one of the key issues in data mining. In the case of massive protein mass spectrum data from SELDI-TOF-MS, this paper proposes an effective and reliable method to extract tumor markers. First of all, an adaptive threshold approach based on wavelet transformation is put forward to eliminate the noise in raw data so as to furnish reliable foundation for tumor markers extraction. Then...
In the problem of face clustering with multi-views, the similarity between faces of different persons with similar pose is usually greater than the similarity between multi-view faces of the same person. This may exert a tremendous impact on the clustering result that sent back to the user. To solve this problem, we should do pose clustering first and then within each dasiapose grouppsila, clustering...
Most research on Internet topology is based on active measurement methods. A major difficulty in using these tools is that one comes across many unresponsive routers. Different methods of dealing with these anonymous nodes to preserve the connectivity of the real graph have been suggested. One of the more practical approaches involves using a placeholder for each unknown, resulting in multiple copies...
We introduce a novel technique to detect anomalies in images. The notion of normalcy is given by a baseline of images, under the assumption that the majority of such images is normal. The key of our approach is a featureless probabilistic representation of images, based on the length of the codeword necessary to represent each image. Such codeword's lengths are then used for anomaly detection based...
