基于滑动窗口模型的数据流闭合高效用项集挖掘

从数据流中挖掘高效用项集是一项具有挑战性的任务,因为传入的数据必须在时间和存储内存约束下进行实时处理.数据流挖掘通常会产生大量冗余的项集,为了减少这些无用的项集数量且保证无损压缩,需要挖掘闭合项集,它可以比全集高效用项集的集合小几个数量级.为了解决以上问题,提出一种基于滑动窗口模型的数据流闭合高效用项集挖掘(closed high utility itemsets mining over data stream based on sliding window model, CHUI_DS)算法. 在CHUI_DS中设计了一种新的效用列表结构,该结构在提升批次插入和删除的速度方面非常有效.此外,应用修剪策略来改进闭合项集挖掘过程,消除潜在的低效用候选对象.对真实数据集和合成数据集进行的广泛实验评估显示了该算法的效率以及可行性.就速度而言,它优于先前提出的主要以批处理模式运行的算法. 且它适用于不同大小的滑动窗口,在事务数量等方面具有较强的扩展性.

基于树结构的高效关联规则挖掘算法*

关联规则挖掘过程中,大量候选项集的产生成为影响挖掘效率提高的一个主要因素。针对这一问题,提出了一种基于树结构的关联规则挖掘算法。该算法运用关联矩阵将频繁项集映射到树结构中存储,并利用树中包含部分频繁项集的子树,逐步拓展成包含所有频繁项集的树结构;其不仅提高了候选项集的生成效率,而且极大地减少了候选项集的产生数量。实验证明,该算法相比同类算法是快速有效的。     

基于效用表的快速高平均效用挖掘算法

高效用项集挖掘在数据挖掘领域中受到了广泛的关注,但是高效用项集挖掘并没有考虑项集长度对效用值的影响,所以高平均效用项集挖掘被提出;而目前的一些高平均效用项集挖掘算法需要耗费大量的时间才能挖掘出有效的高平均效用项集。针对此问题,给出了一个高平均效用项集挖掘的改进算法——FHAUI。FHAUI算法将效用信息保存到效用列表中,通过效用列表的比较来挖掘出所有的高平均效用值,同时FHAUI算法还采用了一个二维矩阵来有效减少二项效用值的连接比较次数。最后将FHAUI算法在多个经典的数据集上测试。实验结果表明,FHAUI算法在效用列表的连接比较次数上有了极大的降低,同时其时间性能也有非常大提高。

一种高效用项集并行挖掘算法

由于能反映用户的偏好,可以弥补传统频繁项集挖掘仅由支持度来衡量项集重要性的不足,高效用项集正在成为当前数据挖掘研究的热点。为使高效用项集挖掘更好地适应数据规模不断增大的实际需求,提出了一种高效用项集的并行挖掘算法PHUI-Mine。提出了记录挖掘高效用项集信息的DHUI-树结构,描述了DHUI-树的构造方法,论证了DHUI-树的动态剪枝策略。在此基础上,给出了高效用项集挖掘的并行算法描述。实验结果表明,PHUI-Mine算法具有较高的挖掘效率及较低的存储开销。

针对现有的一阶段Top-K高效用项集挖掘算法挖掘过程中阈值提升慢,迭代时生成大量候选项集造成内存占用过多等问题,提出一种基于重用链表(R-list)的Top-K高效用挖掘算法RHUM。使用一种新的数据结构R-list来存储并快速访问项集信息,无需第2次扫描数据库进行项集挖掘。该算法重用内存以保存候选集信息,结合改进的RSD阈值提升策略对数据进行预处理,期间采用更严格的剪枝参数在递归搜索的过程中同时计算多个项集的效用来缩小搜索空间。在不同类型数据集中的实验结果表明:RHUM算法在内存效率方面均优于其他一阶段算法,且在K值变化时能保持稳定。     

基于模式增长的高效用序列模式挖掘算法

高效用序列模式挖掘是数据挖掘领域的一项重要内容, 在生物信息学、消费行为分析等方面具有重要的应用.与传统基于频繁项模式挖掘方法不同, 高效用序列模式挖掘不仅考虑项集的内外效用, 更突出项集的时间序列含义, 计算复杂度较高.尽管已经有一定数量的算法被提出应用于解决该类问题, 挖掘算法的时空效率依然成为该领域的主要研究热点问题.鉴于此, 本文提出一个基于模式增长的高效用序列模式挖掘算法HUSP-FP.依据高效用序列项集必须满足事务效用闭包属性要求, 算法首先在去除无用项后建立全局树, 进而采用模式增长方法从全局树上获取全部高效用序列模式, 避免产生候选项集. 在实验环节与目前效率较好的HUSP-Miner、USPAN、HUS-Span三类算法进行了时空计算对比, 实验结果表明本文给出算法在较小阈值下仍能有效挖掘到相关序列模式, 并且在计算时间和空间使用效率两方面取得了较大的提高.     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。     

How do children do mathematics with LOGO?

Abstract  This paper considers some results of a study designed to investigate the kinds of mathematical activity undertaken by children (aged between 8 and 11) as they learned to program in LOGO. A model of learning modes is proposed, which attempts to describe the ways in which children used and acquired understanding of the programming/mathematical concepts involved. The remainder of the paper is concerned with discussing the validity and limitations of the model, and its implications for further research and curriculum development.
