The main challenge of mining sequential patterns is the high processing cost of support counting for large amount of candidate patterns. For solving this problem, SPAM algorithm wa...
We introduce the Hierarchically Growing Hyperbolic Self-Organizing Map (H2 SOM) featuring two extensions of the HSOM (hyperbolic SOM): (i) a hierarchically growing variant that al...
We explore in this paper the efficient clustering of item data. Different from those of the traditional data, the features of item data are known to be of high dimensionality and...
Ensemble learning aims to improve generalization ability by using multiple base learners. It is well-known that to construct a good ensemble, the base learners should be accurate a...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system shoul...
