High-utility and diverse itemset mining

High-utility Itemset Mining (HUIM) finds patterns from a transaction database with their utility no less than a user-defined threshold. The utility of an itemset is defined as the sum of the utilities of its items. The utility notion enables a data analyst to associate a profit score with each item and thereof to a pattern. We extend the notion of high-utility with diversity to define a new pattern type called High-utility and Diverse pattern (HUD). The notion of diversity of a pattern captures the extent of the different categories covered by the selected items in the pattern. An application of diverse-pattern lies in the recommendation task where a system can recommend to a customer a set of items from a new class based on her previously bought items. Our notion of diversity is easy to compute and also captures the basic essence of a previously proposed diversity notion. The existing algorithm to compute frequent-diverse patterns is 2-phase, i.e., in the first phase, frequent patterns are computed, out of which diverse patterns are filtered out in the second phase. We, in this paper, give an integrated algorithm that efficiently computes high-utility and diverse patterns in a single phase. Our experimental study shows that our proposed algorithm is very efficient as compared to a 2-phase algorithm that extracts high-utility itemsets in the first phase and filters out the diverse itemsets in the second phase.

     

Densely connected convolutional networks-based COVID-19 screening model

The extensively utilized tool to detect novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). However, RT-PCR kits are costly and consume critical time, around 6 to 9 hours to classify the subjects as COVID-19(+) or COVID-19(-). Due to the less sensitivity of RT-PCR, it suffers from high false-negative results. To overcome these issues, many deep learning models have been implemented in the literature for the early-stage classification of suspected subjects. To handle the sensitivity issue associated with RT-PCR, chest CT scans are utilized to classify the suspected subjects as COVID-19 (+), tuberculosis, pneumonia, or healthy subjects. The extensive study on chest CT scans of COVID-19 (+) subjects reveals that there are some bilateral changes and unique patterns. But the manual analysis from chest CT scans is a tedious task. Therefore, an automated COVID-19 screening model is implemented by ensembling the deep transfer learning models such as Densely connected convolutional networks (DCCNs), ResNet152V2, and VGG16. Experimental results reveal that the proposed ensemble model outperforms the competitive models in terms of accuracy, f-measure, area under curve, sensitivity, and specificity.
