Subgroup discovery aims at finding interesting subsets of a classified example set that deviates from the overall distribution. The search is guided by a so-called utility function...
Instance selection and feature selection are two orthogonal methods for reducing the amount and complexity of data. Feature selection aims at the reduction of redundant features i...
Abstract. Feature selection is an important task in data mining because it allows to reduce the data dimensionality and eliminates the noisy variables. Traditionally, feature selec...
Symbolic data analysis aims at generalizing some standard statistical data mining methods, such as those developed for classification tasks, to the case of symbolic objects (SOs). ...
In analyzing data from social and communication networks, we encounter the problem of classifying objects where there is an explicit link structure amongst the objects. We study t...
