Tree-based partitioning of date for association rule mining

The most computationally demanding aspect of Association Rule Mining is the identification and counting of support of the frequent sets of items that occur together sufficiently often to be the basis of potentially interesting rules. The task increases in difficulty with the scale of the data and also with its density. The greatest challenge is posed by data that is too large to be contained in primary memory, especially when high data density and/or low support thresholds give rise to very large numbers of candidates that must be counted. In this paper, we consider strategies for partitioning the data to deal effectively with such cases. We describe a partitioning approach which organises the data into tree structures that can be processed independently. We present experimental results that show the method scales well for increasing dimensions of data and performs significantly better than alternatives, especially when dealing with dense data and low support thresholds.

基于动态贝叶斯网络的汉语方言辨识

方言的差异性在语音层面上反映在时间序列结构的不同。传统的语音建模方法只能建立稳定的时间序列结构,而方言语音是典型的动态时变时间序列结构。为了更好地提取方言时间序列结构,文中采用动态贝叶斯网路（DBN）进行建模分析,并对DBN的构建方法进行了研究,这种结构与常用于语音识别中的隐马尔可夫模型的不同之处在于它揭示多个时间片内的节点之间的影响。文中探索了不同结构和参数对识别效果的影响。文中的研究表明动态贝叶斯网络对汉语方言的识别比传统方法要好,识别率达到了98．9％。     

一种基于几何分布的新支持向量机多分类方法

二叉树支持向量机是多分类问题的一种有效方法,然而分类的效果与二叉树的结构密切相关。获得更好的分类效果和更高的效率,要使得二叉树高度尽量小而两个子类尽量易分。距离通常用来衡量两个类的分离程度,但不能反映类的分布情况。考虑到多分类中类的分布,文中定义新的分离度和相似度来衡量两个类的分离度,并且提出了一中新的基于几何分布二叉树支持向量机多分类算法,该方法使得二叉树高度尽量小而两个子类尽量易分。实验表明该方法具有较高的分类准确率和效率。     

Transit smart card data mining for passenger origin information extraction

The automated fare collection(AFC) system,also known as the transit smart card(SC) system,has gained more and more popularity among transit agencies worldwide.Compared with the conventional manual fare collection system,an AFC system has its inherent advantages in low labor cost and high efficiency for fare collection and transaction data archival.Although it is possible to collect highly valuable data from transit SC transactions,substantial efforts and methodologies are needed for extracting such data because most AFC systems are not initially designed for data collection.This is true especially for the Beijing AFC system,where a passenger’s boarding stop(origin) on a flat-rate bus is not recorded on the check-in scan.To extract passengers’ origin data from recorded SC transaction information,a Markov chain based Bayesian decision tree algorithm is developed in this study.Using the time invariance property of the Markov chain,the algorithm is further optimized and simplified to have a linear computational complexity.This algorithm is verified with transit vehicles equipped with global positioning system(GPS) data loggers.Our verification results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm is effective in extracting transit passengers’ origin information from SC transactions with a relatively high accuracy.Such transit origin data are highly valuable for transit system planning and route optimization.
