With the rapid development of data mining technologies, preserving privacy in certain data becomes a challenge to data mining applications in many fields, especially in medical, financial and homeland security fields. We present a privacy-preserving strategy based on wavelet perturbation to keep the data privacy and data statistical properties and data mining utilities at the same time. Our mathematical...
Matrix factorization (MF) based approaches have proven to be efficient for rating-based recommendation systems. In this work, we propose several matrix factorization approaches with improved prediction accuracy. We introduce a novel and fast (semi)-positive MF approach that approximates the features by using positive values for either users or items. We describe a momentum-based MF approach. A transductive...
In data mining problems, data is usually provided in the form of data tables. To represent knowledge discovered from data tables, decision logic (DL) is proposed in rough set theory. While DL is an instance of propositional logic, we can also describe data tables by other logical formalisms. In this paper, we use a kind of many-sorted logic, called attribute value-sorted logic, to study association...
Clustering problems often involve datasets where only a part of the data is relevant to the problem, e.g., in microarray data analysis only a subset of the genes show cohesive expressions within a subset of the conditions/features. The existence of a large number of non-informative data points and features makes it challenging to hunt for coherent and meaningful clusters from such datasets. Additionally,...
