Background: Modern sequencing technologies allow rapid sequencing and bioinformatic analysis of genomes and metagenomes. With every new sequencing project a vast number of new pro...
With the increasing availability of spatial data in many applications, spatial clustering and outlier detection has received a lot of attention in the database and data mining comm...
We propose a method to train a cascade of classifiers by simultaneously optimizing all its stages. The approach relies on the idea of optimizing soft cascades. In particular, inst...
In this paper we present a new approach to mining binary data. We treat each binary feature (item) as a means of distinguishing two sets of examples. Our interest is in selecting ...
Ordering and ranking items of different types are important tasks in various applications, such as query processing and scientific data mining. A total order for the items can be ...
