Proceedings of the Third SIAM International Conference on Data Mining


Book Description

The third SIAM International Conference on Data Mining provided an open forum for the presentation, discussion and development of innovative algorithms, software and theories for data mining applications and data intensive computation. This volume includes 21 research papers.







Proceedings of the Fourth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining


Book Description

The Fourth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining continues the tradition of providing an open forum for the presentation and discussion of innovative algorithms as well as novel applications of data mining. This is reflected in the talks by the four keynote speakers who discuss data usability issues in systems for data mining in science and engineering, issues raised by new technologies that generate biological data, ways to find complex structured patterns in linked data, and advances in Bayesian inference techniques. This proceedings includes 61 research papers.




Proceedings of the Seventh SIAM International Conference on Data Mining


Book Description

The Seventh SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM 2007) continues a series of conferences whose focus is the theory and application of data mining to complex datasets in science, engineering, biomedicine, and the social sciences. These datasets challenge our abilities to analyze them because they are large and often noisy. Sophisticated, highperformance, and principled analysis techniques and algorithms, based on sound statistical foundations, are required. Visualization is often critically important; tuning for performance is a significant challenge; and the appropriate levels of abstraction to allow end-users to exploit sophisticated techniques and understand clearly both the constraints and interpretation of results are still something of an open question.




Proceedings of the Fifth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining


Book Description

The Fifth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining continues the tradition of providing an open forum for the presentation and discussion of innovative algorithms as well as novel applications of data mining. Advances in information technology and data collection methods have led to the availability of large data sets in commercial enterprises and in a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. The field of data mining draws upon extensive work in areas such as statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, databases, and high performance computing to discover interesting and previously unknown information in data. This conference results in data mining, including applications, algorithms, software, and systems.




Proceedings of the Sixth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining


Book Description

The Sixth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining continues the tradition of presenting approaches, tools, and systems for data mining in fields such as science, engineering, industrial processes, healthcare, and medicine. The datasets in these fields are large, complex, and often noisy. Extracting knowledge requires the use of sophisticated, high-performance, and principled analysis techniques and algorithms, based on sound statistical foundations. These techniques in turn require powerful visualization technologies; implementations that must be carefully tuned for performance; software systems that are usable by scientists, engineers, and physicians as well as researchers; and infrastructures that support them.




Privacy Preserving Data Mining


Book Description

Privacy preserving data mining implies the "mining" of knowledge from distributed data without violating the privacy of the individual/corporations involved in contributing the data. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of available approaches, techniques and open problems in privacy preserving data mining. Crystallizing much of the underlying foundation, the book aims to inspire further research in this new and growing area. Privacy Preserving Data Mining is intended to be accessible to industry practitioners and policy makers, to help inform future decision making and legislation, and to serve as a useful technical reference.




Research and Development in Intelligent Systems XXVI


Book Description

The most common document formalisation for text classi?cation is the vector space model founded on the bag of words/phrases representation. The main advantage of the vector space model is that it can readily be employed by classi?cation - gorithms. However, the bag of words/phrases representation is suited to capturing only word/phrase frequency; structural and semantic information is ignored. It has been established that structural information plays an important role in classi?cation accuracy [14]. An alternative to the bag of words/phrases representation is a graph based rep- sentation, which intuitively possesses much more expressive power. However, this representation introduces an additional level of complexity in that the calculation of the similarity between two graphs is signi?cantly more computationally expensive than between two vectors (see for example [16]). Some work (see for example [12]) has been done on hybrid representations to capture both structural elements (- ing the graph model) and signi?cant features using the vector model. However the computational resources required to process this hybrid model are still extensive.

Data Mining and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity


Book Description

With the rapid advancement of information discovery techniques, machine learning and data mining continue to play a significant role in cybersecurity. Although several conferences, workshops, and journals focus on the fragmented research topics in this area, there has been no single interdisciplinary resource on past and current works and possible
