A faceted taxonomy is a set of taxonomies each describing the application domain from a different (preferably orthogonal)
point of view. CTCA is an algebra that allows specifying the set of meaningful compound terms (meaningful conjunctions of
terms) over a faceted taxonomy in a flexible and efficient manner. However, taxonomy updates may turn a CTCA expression e not well-formed and may turn the compound terms specified by e to no longer reflect the domain knowledge originally expressed in e. This paper shows how we can revise e after a taxonomy update and reach an expression e′ that is both well-formed and whose semantics (compound terms defined) is as close as possible to the semantics of the original
expression e before the update. Various cases are analyzed and the revising algorithms are given. The proposed technique can enhance the
robustness and usability of systems that are based on CTCA and allows optimizing several other tasks where CTCA can be used
(including mining and compressing).

Efficient string matching with wildcards and length constraints 总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1

This paper defines a challenging problem of pattern matching between a pattern P and a text T, with wildcards and length constraints, and designs an efficient algorithm to return each pattern occurrence in an online manner. In this pattern matching problem, the user can specify the constraints on the number of wildcards between each two consecutive letters of P and the constraints on the length of each matching substring in T. We design a complete algorithm, SAIL that returns each matching substring of P in T as soon as it appears in T in an O(n+klmg) time with an O(lm) space overhead, where n is the length of T, k is the frequency of P's last letter occurring in T, l is the user-specified maximum length for each matching substring, m is the length of P, and g is the maximum difference between the user-specified maximum and minimum numbers of wildcards allowed between two consecutive letters in P.SAIL stands for string matching with wildcards and length constraints.

In this paper we introduce the logic programming languageDisjunctive Chronolog which combines the programming paradigms of temporal and disjunctive logic programming. Disjunctive Chronolog is capable
of expressing dynamic behaviour as well as uncertainty, two notions that are very common in a variety of real systems. We
present the minimal temporal model semantics and the fixpoint semantics for the new programming language and demonstrate their
equivalence. We also show how proof procedures developed for disjunctive logic programs can be easily extended to apply to
Disjunctive Chronolog programs.

A database session is a sequence of requests presented to the database system by a user or an application to achieve a certain task. Session identification is an important step in discovering useful patterns from database trace logs. The discovered patterns can be used to improve the performance of database systems by prefetching predicted queries, rewriting the current query or conducting effective cache replacement.In this paper, we present an application of a new session identification method based on statistical language modeling to database trace logs. Several problems of the language modeling based method are revealed in the application, which include how to select values for the parameters of the language model, how to evaluate the accuracy of the session identification result and how to learn a language model without well-labeled training data. All of these issues are important in the successful application of the language modeling based method for session identification. We propose solutions to these open issues. In particular, new methods for determining an entropy threshold and the order of the language model are proposed. New performance measures are presented to better evaluate the accuracy of the identified sessions. Furthermore, three types of learning methods, namely, learning from labeled data, learning from semi-labeled data and learning from unlabeled data, are introduced to learn language models from different types of training data. Finally, we report experimental results that show the effectiveness of the language model based method for identifying sessions from the trace logs of an OLTP database application and the TPC-C Benchmark.

Web image indexing by using associated texts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to index Web images, the whole associated texts are partitioned into a sequence of text blocks, then the local relevance of a term to the corresponding image is calculated with respect to both its local occurrence in the block and the distance of the block to the image. Thus, the overall relevance of a term is determined as the sum of all its local weight values multiplied by the corresponding distance factors of the text blocks. In the present approach, the associated text of a Web image is firstly partitioned into three parts, including a page-oriented text (TM), a link-oriented text (LT), and a caption-oriented text (BT). Since the big size and semantic divergence, the caption-oriented text is further partitioned into finer blocks based on the tree structure of the tag elements within the BT text. During the processing, all heading nodes are pulled up in order to correlate with their semantic scopes, and a collapse algorithm is also exploited to remove the empty blocks. In our system, the relevant factors of the text blocks are determined by using a greedy Two-Way-Merging algorithm.

Mining user access patterns with traversal constraint for predicting web page requests 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0

The recent increase in HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) traffic on the World Wide Web (WWW) has generated an enormous amount of log records on Web server databases. Applying Web mining techniques on these server log records can discover potentially useful patterns and reveal user access behaviors on the Web site. In this paper, we propose a new approach for mining user access patterns for predicting Web page requests, which consists of two steps. First, the Minimum Reaching Distance (MRD) algorithm is applied to find the distances between the Web pages. Second, the association rule mining technique is applied to form a set of predictive rules, and the MRD information is used to prune the results from the association rule mining process. Experimental results from a real Web data set show that our approach improved the performance over the existing Markov-model approach in precision, recall, and the reduction of user browsing time.

Providing real-time and QoS support to stream processing applications running on top of large-scale overlays is challenging
due to the inherent heterogeneity and resource limitations of the nodes and the multiple QoS demands of the applications that
must concurrently be met. In this paper we propose an integrated adaptive component composition and load balancing mechanism
that (1) allows the composition of distributed stream processing applications on the fly across a large-scale system, while
satisfying their QoS demands and distributing the load fairly on the resources, and (2) adapts dynamically to changes in the
resource utilization or the QoS requirements of the applications. Our extensive experimental results using both simulations
as well as a prototype deployment illustrate the efficiency, performance and scalability of our approach.

With the growing popularity of the World Wide Web, large volume of user access data has been gathered automatically by Web servers and stored in Web logs. Discovering and understanding user behavior patterns from log files can provide Web personalized recommendation services. In this paper, a novel clustering method is presented for log files called Clustering large Weblog based on Key Path Model (CWKPM), which is based on user browsing key path model, to get user behavior profiles. Compared with the previous Boolean model, key path model considers the major features of users‘ accessing to the Web: ordinal, contiguous and duplicate. Moreover, for clustering, it has fewer dimensions. The analysis and experiments show that CWKPM is an efficient and effective approach for clustering large and high-dimension Web logs. 相似文献

Recently, mining from data streams has become an important and challenging task for many real-world applications such as credit
card fraud protection and sensor networking. One popular solution is to separate stream data into chunks, learn a base classifier
from each chunk, and then integrate all base classifiers for effective classification. In this paper, we propose a new dynamic
classifier selection (DCS) mechanism to integrate base classifiers for effective mining from data streams. The proposed algorithm
dynamically selects a single “best” classifier to classify each test instance at run time. Our scheme uses statistical information
from attribute values, and uses each attribute to partition the evaluation set into disjoint subsets, followed by a procedure
that evaluates the classification accuracy of each base classifier on these subsets. Given a test instance, its attribute
values determine the subsets that the similar instances in the evaluation set have constructed, and the classifier with the
highest classification accuracy on those subsets is selected to classify the test instance. Experimental results and comparative
studies demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of our method. Such a DCS scheme appears to be promising in mining data streams
with dramatic concept drifting or with a significant amount of noise, where the base classifiers are likely conflictive or
have low confidence.

In this paper,a new effective method is proposed to find class association rules (CAR),to get useful class associaiton rules(UCAR)by removing the spurious class association rules (SCAR),and to generate exception class associaiton rules(ECAR)for each UCAR.CAR mining,which integrates the techniques of classification and association,is of great interest recently.However,it has two drawbacks:one is that a large part of CARs are spurious and maybe misleading to users ;the other is that some important ECARs are diffcult to find using traditional data mining techniques .The method introduced in this paper aims to get over these flaws.According to our approach,a user can retrieve correct information from UCARs and konw the influence from different conditions by checking corresponding ECARs.Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach. 相似文献

The Multi-Agent Distributed Goal Satisfaction (MADGS) system facilitates distributed mission planning and execution in complex
dynamic environments with a focus on distributed goal planning and satisfaction and mixed-initiative interactions with the
human user. By understanding the fundamental technical challenges faced by our commanders on and off the battlefield, we can
help ease the burden of decision-making. MADGS lays the foundations for retrieving, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating
information to commanders. In this paper, we present an overview of the MADGS architecture and discuss the key components
that formed our initial prototype and testbed.

This article investigates the implications ofactive user model acquisition upon plan recognition, domain planning, and dialog planning in dialog architectures. A dialog system performs active user model acquisition by querying the user during the course of the dialog. Existing systems employ passive strategies that rely on inferences drawn from passive observation of the dialog. Though passive acquisition generally reduces unnecessary dialog, in some cases the system can effectively shorten the overall dialog length by selectively initiating subdialogs for acquiring information about the user.We propose a theory identifying conditions under which the dialog system should adoptactive acquisition goals. Active acquisition imposes a set ofrationality requirements not met by current dialog architectures. To ensure rational dialog decisions, we propose significant extensions to plan recognition, domain planning, and dialog planning models, incorporating decision-theoretic heuristics for expected utility. The most appropriate framework for active acquisition is a multi-attribute utility model wherein plans are compared along multiple dimensions of utility. We suggest a general architectural scheme, and present an example from a preliminary implementation.The author will be at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, untilThe author will be at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, untilThe author will be at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, untilThe author will be at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, untilThe author will be at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, untilThe author will be at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, until 相似文献

XML has already become the de facto standard for specifying and exchanging data on the Web. However, XML is by nature verbose and thus XML documents are usually large in size, a factor that hinders its practical usage, since it substantially increases the costs of storing, processing, and exchanging data. In order to tackle this problem, many XML-specific compression systems, such as XMill, XGrind, XMLPPM, and Millau, have recently been proposed. However, these systems usually suffer from the following two inadequacies: They either sacrifice performance in terms of compression ratio and execution time in order to support a limited range of queries, or perform full decompression prior to processing queries over compressed documents.In this paper, we address the above problems by exploiting the information provided by a Document Type Definition (DTD) associated with an XML document. We show that a DTD is able to facilitate better compression as well as generate more usable compressed data to support querying. We present the architecture of the XCQ, which is a compression and querying tool for handling XML data. XCQ is based on a novel technique we have developed called DTD Tree and SAX Event Stream Parsing (DSP). The documents compressed by XCQ are stored in Partitioned Path-Based Grouping (PPG) data streams, which are equipped with a Block Statistics Signature (BSS) indexing scheme. The indexed PPG data streams support the processing of XML queries that involve selection and aggregation, without the need for full decompression. In order to study the compression performance of XCQ, we carry out comprehensive experiments over a set of XML benchmark datasets.

To address the two most critical issues in P2P file-sharing systems: efficient information discovery and authentic data acquisition, we propose a Gnutella-like file-sharing protocol termed Adaptive Gnutella Protocol (AGP) that not only improves the querying efficiency in a P2P network but also enhances the quality of search results at the same time. The reputation scheme in the proposed AGP evaluates the credibility of peers based on their contributions to P2P services and subsequently clusters nodes together according to their reputation and shared content, essentially transforming
the P2P overlay network into a topology with collaborative and reputed nodes as its core. By detecting malicious peers as well as
free-riders and eventually pushing them to the edge of the overlay network, our AGP propagates search queries mainly within the core of the topology, accelerating the information discovery process. Furthermore,
the clustering of nodes based on authentic and similar content in our AGP also improves the quality of search results. We have implemented the AGP with the PeerSim simulation engine and conducted thorough experiments on diverse network topologies and various mixtures of honest/dishonest
nodes to demonstrate improvements in topology transformation, query efficiency, and search quality by our AGP.

Analyzing the quality of data prior to constructing data mining models is emerging as an important issue. Algorithms for identifying
noise in a given data set can provide a good measure of data quality. Considerable attention has been devoted to detecting
class noise or labeling errors. In contrast, limited research work has been devoted to detecting instances with attribute
noise, in part due to the difficulty of the problem. We present a novel approach for detecting instances with attribute noise
and demonstrate its usefulness with case studies using two different real-world software measurement data sets. Our approach,
called Pairwise Attribute Noise Detection Algorithm (PANDA), is compared with a nearest neighbor, distance-based outlier detection
technique (denoted DM) investigated in related literature. Since what constitutes noise is domain specific, our case studies
uses a software engineering expert to inspect the instances identified by the two approaches to determine whether they actually
contain noise. It is shown that PANDA provides better noise detection performance than the DM algorithm.

Information service plays a key role in grid system, handles resource discovery and management process. Employing existing
information service architectures suffers from poor scalability, long search response time, and large traffic overhead. In
this paper, we propose a service club mechanism, called S-Club, for efficient service discovery. In S-Club, an overlay based
on existing Grid Information Service (GIS) mesh network of CROWN is built, so that GISs are organized as service clubs. Each
club serves for a certain type of service while each GIS may join one or more clubs. S-Club is adopted in our CROWN Grid and
the performance of S-Club is evaluated by comprehensive simulations. The results show that S-Club scheme significantly improves
search performance and outperforms existing approaches.

Color is one of the most important features in digital images. The representation of color in digital form with a three-component
image (RGB) is not very accurate, hence the use of a multiple-component spectral image is justified. At the moment, acquiring
a spectral image is not as easy and as fast as acquiring a conventional three-component image. One answer to this problem
is to use a regular digital RGB camera and estimate its RGB image into a spectral image by the Wiener estimation method, which is based on the use of a priori knowledge. In this paper, the Wiener estimation method is used to estimate the spectra of icons. The experimental results of the spectral estimation are presented.
