    Book SynopsisThis textbook explores the different aspects of data mining from the fundamentals to the complex data types and their applications, capturing the wide diversity of problem domains for data mining issues. It goes beyond the traditional focus on data mining problems to introduce advanced data types such as text, time series, discrete sequences, spatial data, graph data, and social networks. Until now, no single book has addressed all these topics in a comprehensive and integrated way. The chapters of this book fall into one of three categories: Fundamental chapters: Data mining has four main problems, which correspond to clustering, classification, association pattern mining, and outlier analysis. These chapters comprehensively discuss a wide variety of methods for these problems. Domain chapters: These chapters discuss the specific methods used for different domains of data such as text data, time-series data, sequence data, graph data, and spatial data. Application chapters: These chapters study important applications such as stream mining, Web mining, ranking, recommendations, social networks, and privacy preservation. The domain chapters also have an applied flavor. Appropriate for both introductory and advanced data mining courses, Data Mining: The Textbook balances mathematical details and intuition. It contains the necessary mathematical details for professors and researchers, but it is presented in a simple and intuitive style to improve accessibility for students and industrial practitioners (including those with a limited mathematical background). Numerous illustrations, examples, and exercises are included, with an emphasis on semantically interpretable examples.Praise for Data Mining: The Textbook - “As I read through this book, I have already decided to use it in my classes. This is a book written by an outstanding researcher who has made fundamental contributions to data mining, in a way that is both accessible and up to date. The book is complete with theory and practical use cases. It’s a must-have for students and professors alike!" -- Qiang Yang, Chair of Computer Science and Engineering at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology"This is the most amazing and comprehensive text book on data mining. It covers not only the fundamental problems, such as clustering, classification, outliers and frequent patterns, and different data types, including text, time series, sequences, spatial data and graphs, but also various applications, such as recommenders, Web, social network and privacy. It is a great book for graduate students and researchers as well as practitioners." -- Philip S. Yu, UIC Distinguished Professor and Wexler Chair in Information Technology at University of Illinois at ChicagoTrade Review“I can strongly recommend this book to any graduate students who want to learn the theoretical parts of the broad area of data mining. It offers enough material for several semesters of data mining or machine learning courses. Researchers and practitioners who want to survey the principles and concepts of current data mining topics and learn their theoretical perspective would benefit greatly from this book.” (Daijin Ko, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2017)“Written by one of the most prodigious editors and authors in the data mining community, Data mining: the textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and applications of data mining. The recent drive in industry and academic toward data science and more specifically “big data” makes any well-written book on this topic a welcome addition to the bookshelves of experienced and aspiring data scientists… The writing style is excellent and the author managed to provide sufficient mathematical background in terms of formal proofs and notations, in order to make it self-contained and scientifically appealing to more theory-oriented readers.Covering more than 20 chapters and 700 pages, Aggarwal provides a unique textbook and reference to data mining, which I recommend to every reader working on or learning about data mining.” (Radu State, ACM Computing Reviews #CR143869)Table of ContentsIntroduction to Data Mining.- Data Preparation.- Similarity and Distances.- Association Pattern Mining.- Association Pattern Mining: Advanced Concepts.- Cluster Analysis.- Cluster Analysis: Advanced Concepts.- Outlier Analysis.- Outlier Analysis: Advanced Concepts.- Data Classification.- Data Classification: Advanced Concepts.- Mining Data Streams.- Mining Text Data.- Mining Time-Series Data.- Mining Discrete Sequences.- Mining Spatial Data.- Mining Graph Data.- Mining Web Data.- Social Network Analysis.- Privacy-Preserving Data Mining.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy-to-read text ideally serves the needs of undergraduate and early graduate students embarking on an “Introduction to Data Science” course. It reveals how this discipline sits at the intersection of statistics, computer science, and machine learning, with a distinct heft and character of its own. Practitioners in these and related fields will find this book perfect for self-study as well. Additional learning tools: Contains “War Stories,” offering perspectives on how data science applies in the real world Includes “Homework Problems,” providing a wide range of exercises and projects for self-study Provides a complete set of lecture slides and online video lectures at www.data-manual.com Provides “Take-Home Lessons,” emphasizing the big-picture concepts to learn from each chapter Recommends exciting “Kaggle Challenges” from the online platform Kaggle Highlights “False Starts,” revealing the subtle reasons why certain approaches fail Offers examples taken from the data science television show “The Quant Shop” (www.quant-shop.com) Trade Review “The book is more than a typical manual. In fact, the author himself designates it as a textbook for an introductory course on data science. The chapters are richly equipped with exercises. The topics are always explained starting with a proper motivation and continuing with practical examples. This is perhaps the most outstanding feature of the book. It can serve as a regular textbook for an academic course. In fact, I should like to recommend it exactly for this purpose. On the other hand, it provides a wealth of material for people from industry, such as software engineers, and can serve as a manual for them to accomplish data science tasks. It should be noted that the book is not just a text, but a much more complex product, including a full set of lecture slides available online as well as a solutions wiki.” (P.

    2 in stock

    With an evolutionary advancement of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, a rapid increase of data volumes and a significant improvement of computation powers, machine learning becomes hot in different applications. However, because of the nature of “black-box” in ML methods, ML still needs to be interpreted to link human and machine learning for transparency and user acceptance of delivered solutions. This edited book addresses such links from the perspectives of visualisation, explanation, trustworthiness and transparency. The book establishes the link between human and machine learning by exploring transparency in machine learning, visual explanation of ML processes, algorithmic explanation of ML models, human cognitive responses in ML-based decision making, human evaluation of machine learning and domain knowledge in transparent ML applications. This is the first book of its kind to systematically understand the current active research activities and outcomes related to human and machine learning. The book will not only inspire researchers to passionately develop new algorithms incorporating human for human-centred ML algorithms, resulting in the overall advancement of ML, but also help ML practitioners proactively use ML outputs for informative and trustworthy decision making. This book is intended for researchers and practitioners involved with machine learning and its applications. The book will especially benefit researchers in areas like artificial intelligence, decision support systems and human-computer interaction.

V. - Nachsorge und Krankheitsverlaufsanalyse - hat einen engen Bezug zu aktuellen Problemen des Gesundheitswesens. Insbesondere in Kliniken, in denen schwere Erkrankungen mit modernen erfolgversprechenden Massnahmen be- handelt werden, wird die Notwendigkeit einer systematischen weiteren Uberwachung dieser Patienten immer dringlicher erachtet. Die Beob- achtung des weiteren Schicksals, die arztliche Betreuung und die Bewertung der zeitlichen Verlaufe ergeben Ansatzpunkte fur die weitere Verbesserung der Therapie. Diese Aufgabe lasst sich nur be- waltigen, wenn die dabei auftretenden Probleme der planvollen Doku- mentation, der Informationsubermittlung, der Datenspeicherung und der statistischen Auswertung von den Vertretern unseres Faches aktiv in Angriff genommen werden. Nach 25 Jahren einer sturmischen techno- logischen und Methodenentwicklung ist unsere junge medizinische Dis- ziplin in der Lage - wenn die erforderliche apparative und perso- nelle Ausstattung zur Verfugung steht -, die Probleme der Nachsorge und Krankheitsverlaufsanalyse in Zusammenarbeit mit Klinikern und Allgemeinmedizinern wirksam zu bearbeiten und Ergebnisse zu zeitigen, die fur den Arzt relevant sind. Die Tagung soll dazu Anregungen ver- mitteln und Losungswege aufzeigen. Funf Workshops und apparative, organisatorische und methodische Pro- bleme runden den Bezug unserer Arbeit auf die Probleme der !1edizin von heute ab. Erlangen hat eine traditionelle Verbundenheit mit der technologischen Entwicklung in der Medizin. Auch heute besteht, sowohl in der Medi- zinischen wie in der Technischen Fakultat, auf deren Campus wir tragen, ein waches Interesse fur den humanen Einsatz technologischer Neuerungen, insbesondere auch der elektronischen Datenverarbeitung.

    Book SynopsisNeural networks are a computing paradigm that is finding increasing attention among computer scientists. In this book, theoretical laws and models previously scattered in the literature are brought together into a general theory of artificial neural nets. Always with a view to biology and starting with the simplest nets, it is shown how the properties of models change when more general computing elements and net topologies are introduced. Each chapter contains examples, numerous illustrations, and a bibliography. The book is aimed at readers who seek an overview of the field or who wish to deepen their knowledge. It is suitable as a basis for university courses in neurocomputing.Trade Review"If you want a systematic and thorough overview of neural networks, need a good reference book on this subject, or are giving or taking a course on neural networks, this book is for you."

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisDie Biometrie ist eine neue Arbeitsmethode zur Aufklärung der Ursachen des Phänomens der reproduzierbaren Bewegung in der Biologie. Die Arbeitsweise der Biometrie macht es möglich, aus dem Längenverhältnis der Kreuzbänder des Kniegelenkes und der konkreten Längenangabe des hinteren Kreuzbandes das Kniesteuersystem a priori räumlich zu entwickeln, die Beinlänge und die dazugehörende Körpergröße zu bestimmen und das Hüftgelenk aus dem Kniesteuersystem abzuleiten. Die Erkenntnis, daß die unbekannten biologischen Bewegungssysteme selbstverwirklichte biometrische kräftefreie Gesetzlichkeiten verkörpern, ist richtungsweisend für alle Disziplinen, die sich mit dem Lebendigen beschäftigen.Table of ContentsEinführung.- I Empirisch-geometrische Untersuchungen des Kniegelenks.

    Book SynopsisIn the last decade unsupervised pattern discovery in time series, i.e. the problem of finding recurrent similar subsequences in long multivariate time series without the need of querying subsequences, has earned more and more attention in research and industry. Pattern discovery was already successfully applied to various areas like seismology, medicine, robotics or music. Until now an application to automotive time series has not been investigated. This dissertation fills this desideratum by studying the special characteristics of vehicle sensor logs and proposing an appropriate approach for pattern discovery. To prove the benefit of pattern discovery methods in automotive applications, the algorithm is applied to construct representative driving cycles.

    Book SynopsisHuman action analyses and recognition are challenging problems due to large variations in human motion and appearance, camera viewpoint and environment settings. The field of action and activity representation and recognition is relatively old, yet not well-understood by the students and research community. Some important but common motion recognition problems are even now unsolved properly by the computer vision community. However, in the last decade, a number of good approaches are proposed and evaluated subsequently by many researchers. Among those methods, some methods get significant attention from many researchers in the computer vision field due to their better robustness and performance. This book will cover gap of information and materials on comprehensive outlook – through various strategies from the scratch to the state-of-the-art on computer vision regarding action recognition approaches. This book will target the students and researchers who have knowledge on image processing at a basic level and would like to explore more on this area and do research. The step by step methodologies will encourage one to move forward for a comprehensive knowledge on computer vision for recognizing various human actions.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Low-level Image Processing for Action Representations.- Action Representation Approaches.- MHI – A Global-based Generic Approach.- Shape Representation and Feature Vector Analysis .- Action Datasets.-Challenges Ahead.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book was conceived from the realization that there was a need to update recent work on invariants in a single volume providing a useful set of references and pointers to related work. Since the publication in 1992 of J L Mundy and A Zisserman's Geometric Invariance in Computer Vision, the subject has been evolving rapidly. New approaches to invariants have been proposed and novel ways of defining and applying invariants to practical problem solving are testimony to the fundamental importance of the study of invariants to machine vision. This book represents a snapshot of current research around the world.A version of this collection of papers has appeared in the International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (December 1999). The papers in this book are extended versions of the original material published in the journal. They are organized into two categories: foundations and applications. Foundation papers present new ways of defining or analyzing invariants, and application papers present novel ways in which known invariant theory is extended and effectively applied to real-world problems in interesting and difficult contexts. Each category contains roughly half of the papers, but there is considerable overlap. All papers carry an element of novelty and generalization that will be useful to theoreticians and practitioners alike. It is hoped that this volume will be not only useful but also inspirational to researchers in image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision at large.Table of ContentsAnalysis and computation of projective invariants from multiple views in the geometric algebra framework; invariants to convolution and rotation; a new representation for quartic curves and complete sets of geometric invariants; a robust affine invariant metric on boundary patterns; invariant geometric properties of image correspondence vectors as rigid constraints to motion estimation; features of derivative continuity in shape; Fourier-Mellin based invariants for the recognition of multi-oriented and multi-scaled shapes - application to engineering drawing analysis; high-order statistical pattern spectrum - an invariant and noise-robust shape descriptor; improved moment invariants for invariant image representation; an approach using elastic graph dynamic link model for automating the satellite interpretation of tropical cyclone patterns; colour normalization for colour object recognition and image retrieval.

  • Dissimilarity Representation For Pattern

    World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Dissimilarity Representation For Pattern

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book provides a fundamentally new approach to pattern recognition in which objects are characterized by relations to other objects instead of by using features or models. This 'dissimilarity representation' bridges the gap between the traditionally opposing approaches of statistical and structural pattern recognition.Physical phenomena, objects and events in the world are related in various and often complex ways. Such relations are usually modeled in the form of graphs or diagrams. While this is useful for communication between experts, such representation is difficult to combine and integrate by machine learning procedures. However, if the relations are captured by sets of dissimilarities, general data analysis procedures may be applied for analysis.With their detailed description of an unprecedented approach absent from traditional textbooks, the authors have crafted an essential book for every researcher and systems designer studying or developing pattern recognition systems.Table of Contents# Spaces # Characterization of Dissimilarities # Learning Approaches # Dissimilarity Measures # Visualization # Further Data Exploration # One-Class Classifiers # Classification # Combining # Representation Review and Recommendations # Conclusions and Open Problems

  • Facial Multi-characteristics And Applications

    World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Facial Multi-characteristics And Applications

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisWhat features or information can we observe from a face, and how can these information help us to understand the person concerned, in terms of their well-being and what can we learn about and from each given feature? This book answers these questions by first dividing a face's multiple characteristics into two main categories: original (or physiological) features and features that change over a lifetime. The first category, original features, may be further divided into two sub-classes: features special (or unique) to an individual, and features common to a particular group. The second, changed features, can also be subdivided into two groups: features altered due to disease or features altered by other external factors. From these four sub-categories, four different applications — facial identification using original and special features; beauty analysis using original common features; facial diagnosis by disease changed features; and expression recognition through affect-changed features — are identified.The book will benefit researchers, professionals, and graduate students working in the field of computer vision, pattern recognition, security/clinical practice, and beauty analysis, and will also be useful for interdisciplinary research.

    Book SynopsisThis book presents an interactive multimodal approach for efficient transcription of handwritten text images. This approach, rather than full automation, assists the expert in the recognition and transcription process.Until now, handwritten text recognition (HTR) systems are far from being perfect and heavy human intervention is often required to check and correct the results of such systems. The interactive scenario studied in this book combines the efficiency of automatic handwriting recognition systems with the accuracy of the experts, leading to a cost-effective perfect transcription of the handwritten text images.The interactive system here allows the user to repeatedly interact with the system. Hence, the quality and ergonomy of the interactive process is crucial for the success of the system. Moreover, more ergonomic multimodal interfaces are used to obtain an easier and more comfortable human-machine interaction.Table of ContentsState of the Art; Interactive Pattern Recognition; Off-line Handwritten Text Recognition; On-line Handwritten Text Recognition; Computer Assisted Transcription of Handwritten Text Images; Multimodal Computer Assisted Transcription of Handwritten Text Images; A Web-based Demonstrator to Interactive Multimodal Transcription.
