Dimension Reduction And Visualization Of Large High Dimensional Data Via Inte...wl820609
This document discusses dimension reduction techniques for visualizing large, high-dimensional data. It presents multidimensional scaling (MDS) and generative topographic mapping (GTM) for this task. To address challenges of data size, an interpolation approach is introduced that maps new data points based on a reduced set of sample points. Experimental results show MDS and GTM interpolation can efficiently visualize millions of data points in 2-3 dimensions with reasonable quality compared to processing all points directly.
This document summarizes a survey on graph partitioning algorithms. It begins by defining the graph partitioning problem and describing its applications in areas like VLSI design and parallel finite element methods. It then provides an overview of several categories of sequential graph partitioning algorithms, including local improvement methods like Kernighan-Lin and Fiduccia-Mattheyses, as well as discussing parallel partitioning algorithms and conclusions from experimental comparisons of different approaches.
The document describes using the Kuhn-Munkres or "Hungarian" algorithm to solve the graph matching problem. It formulates graph matching as a minimum-cost bipartite matching problem that can be solved using the Hungarian algorithm. It then outlines the steps of the algorithm, which involves constructing adjacency matrices for the graphs, computing eigenvectors, obtaining a correlation matrix, converting it into a cost matrix, applying the Hungarian algorithm to find the matching, and outputting the results.
SVD BASED LATENT SEMANTIC INDEXING WITH USE OF THE GPU COMPUTATIONSijscmcj
The purpose of this article is to determine the usefulness of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) calculations used to implement the Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) reduction of the TERM-BY DOCUMENT matrix. Considered reduction of the matrix is based on the use of the SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) decomposition. A high computational complexity of the SVD decomposition - O(n3), causes that a reduction of a large indexing structure is a difficult task. In this article there is a comparison of the time complexity and accuracy of the algorithms implemented for two different environments. The first environment is associated with the CPU and MATLAB R2011a. The second environment is related to graphics processors and the CULA library. The calculations were carried out on generally available benchmark matrices, which were combined to achieve the resulting matrix of high size. For both considered environments computations were performed for double and single precision data.
The Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (GPLVM)James McMurray
This document provides an outline for a talk on Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (GPLVM). It begins with an introduction to why latent variable models are useful for dimensionality reduction. It then defines latent variable models and shows their graphical model representation. The document reviews PCA and introduces probabilistic versions like Probabilistic PCA (PPCA) and Dual PPCA. It describes how GPLVM generalizes these approaches using Gaussian processes. Examples applying GPLVM to face and motion data are provided, along with practical tips and an overview of GPLVM variants.
The variational Gaussian process (VGP), a Bayesian nonparametric model which adapts its shape to match com- plex posterior distributions. The VGP generates approximate posterior samples by generating latent inputs and warping them through random non-linear mappings; the distribution over random mappings is learned during inference, enabling the transformed outputs to adapt to varying complexity.
The document discusses distributed query processing and optimization in distributed database systems. It covers topics like query decomposition, distributed query optimization techniques including cost models, statistics collection and use, and algorithms for query optimization. Specifically, it describes the process of optimizing queries distributed across multiple database fragments or sites including generating the search space of possible query execution plans, using cost functions and statistics to pick the best plan, and examples of deterministic and randomized search strategies used.
This document proposes a fast and robust bootstrap method for inference using the least trimmed squares (LTS) estimator in regression analysis. The classical bootstrap is computationally intensive and lacks robustness when applied to LTS. The proposed method draws bootstrap samples but approximates the LTS solution in each sample using information from the original LTS estimate, rather than recomputing LTS from scratch. This avoids the need for multiple initial subsets and is shown via simulations to perform well, providing accurate confidence intervals while being both fast and robust compared to the classical bootstrap for LTS.

Design of optimized Interval Arithmetic MultiplierVLSICS Design
Many DSP and Control applications that require the user to know how various numerical errors(uncertainty) affect the result. This uncertainty is eliminated by replacing non-interval values with intervals. Since most DSPs operate in real time environments, fast processors are required to implement interval arithmetic. The goal is to develop a platform in which Interval Arithmetic operations are performed at the same computational speed as present day signal processors. So we have proposed the design and implementation of Interval Arithmetic multiplier, which operates with IEEE 754 numbers. The proposed unit consists of a floating point CSD multiplier, Interval operation selector. This architecture implements an algorithm which is faster than conventional algorithm of Interval multiplier . The cost overhead of the proposed unit is 30% with respect to a conventional floating point multiplier. The
performance of proposed architecture is better than that of a conventional CSD floating-point multiplier, as it can perform both interval multiplication and floating-point multiplication as well as Interval comparisons

Building data fusion surrogate models for spacecraft aerodynamic problems wit...Shinwoo Jang
This document discusses building surrogate models to approximate aerodynamic data from spacecraft. The data comes from both high-fidelity wind tunnel tests and lower-fidelity computational fluid dynamics simulations. It presents three approaches to combine this multi-fidelity data based on tensor product approximations: 1) a "merged solution" that fits models based on data type and weights points, 2) a "fused solution" that estimates high-fidelity values using a bias model between low and high-fidelity data, and 3) a "sequential solution" that first fits a low-fidelity model and then corrects it using high-fidelity data residuals. The goal is to generate accurate and consistent surrogate models over an entire flight envelope from
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a graph neural network approach called GraphTSR for complicated table structure recognition. Some key points:

It also supports various regularization techniques through proximal operators.

By Quoc Hoan Tran, Takahiro Goto and Kohei Nakajima
The document describes an image pattern matching method using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). It involves preprocessing training images by converting them to grayscale, resizing them, and storing them in a matrix. PCA is then performed on the training images to extract eigenfaces. Test images are projected onto the eigenfaces to obtain a projection matrix. The test image with the minimum Euclidean distance from the training projections in the matrix is considered the best match. The method provides fast and robust image pattern matching through PCA dimensionality reduction and efficient preprocessing.
JAVA BASED VISUALIZATION AND ANIMATION FOR TEACHING THE DIJKSTRA SHORTEST PAT...ijseajournal
This document describes a Java software tool developed to help transportation engineering students understand the Dijkstra shortest path algorithm. The software provides an intuitive interface for generating transportation networks and animating how the shortest path is updated at each iteration of the Dijkstra algorithm. It offers multiple visual representations like color mapping and tables. The software can step through each iteration or run continuously, and includes voice narratives in different languages to further aid comprehension. A demo video of the animation and results is available online.
This document summarizes Eric Xing's lecture on dimensionality reduction and machine learning. It discusses several techniques for dimensionality reduction including principal component analysis (PCA), locality preserving projections (LLE), and isomap. PCA finds orthogonal directions of maximum variance in high-dimensional data to project it to a lower-dimensional space. LLE and isomap are nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques that can discover low-dimensional manifold structures. Applications discussed include text retrieval, image analysis, and super resolution image reconstruction. Dimensionality reduction is useful for pattern recognition, information retrieval, and exploring high-dimensional datasets.
This document discusses developing a theory of data analysis systems that integrates statistical methodology with the design of distributed data systems. It aims to balance tradeoffs between computational, transmission, and statistical costs when performing large-scale, distributed data analysis. As a proof of concept, it presents a toy example involving maximum likelihood estimation of parameters for a Gaussian process model using distributed spatial data. The example quantifies various costs associated with data access, transmission, and computation to jointly optimize the statistical analysis approach and data system design. Challenges include developing objective functions that can optimize both aspects simultaneously and approximating statistical costs like uncertainty.
Approaches to online quantile estimationData Con LA
Data Con LA 2020
Description
This talk will explore and compare several compact data structures for estimation of quantiles on streams, including a discussion of how they balance accuracy against computational resource efficiency. A new approach providing more flexibility in specifying how computational resources should be expended across the distribution will also be explained. Quantiles (e.g., median, 99th percentile) are fundamental summary statistics of one-dimensional distributions. They are particularly important for SLA-type calculations and characterizing latency distributions, but unlike their simpler counterparts such as the mean and standard deviation, their computation is somewhat more expensive. The increasing importance of stream processing (in observability and other domains) and the impossibility of exact online quantile calculation together motivate the construction of compact data structures for estimation of quantiles on streams. In this talk we will explore and compare several such data structures (e.g., moment-based, KLL sketch, t-digest) with an eye towards how they balance accuracy against resource efficiency, theoretical guarantees, and desirable properties such as mergeability. We will also discuss a recent variation of the t-digest which provides more flexibility in specifying how computational resources should be expended across the distribution. No prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. Some familiarity with the general problem area would be helpful but is not required.

This document discusses different techniques for decomposing data and computations into parallel tasks, including: output data partitioning, input data partitioning, partitioning intermediate data, exploratory decomposition of search spaces, speculative decomposition, and hybrid approaches. It provides examples and diagrams to illustrate how to apply these techniques to problems like matrix multiplication, counting item frequencies, and the 15-puzzle problem. Key characteristics of derived tasks like task generation, sizes, data associations are also covered.
The objective of this paper is to present the hybrid approach for edge detection. Under this technique, edge
detection is performed in two phase. In first phase, Canny Algorithm is applied for image smoothing and in
second phase neural network is to detecting actual edges. Neural network is a wonderful tool for edge
detection. As it is a non-linear network with built-in thresholding capability. Neural Network can be trained
with back propagation technique using few training patterns but the most important and difficult part is to
identify the correct and proper training set.
Tensor Spectral Clustering is an algorithm that generalizes graph partitioning and spectral clustering methods to account for higher-order network structures. It defines a new objective function called motif conductance that measures how partitions cut motifs like triangles in addition to edges. The algorithm represents a tensor of higher-order random walk transitions as a matrix and computes eigenvectors to find a partition that minimizes the number of motifs cut, allowing networks to be clustered based on higher-order connectivity patterns. Experiments on synthetic and real networks show it can discover meaningful partitions by accounting for motifs that capture important structural relationships.
Hash based probabilistic techniques for handling large amounts of data that allow low cost architectures.
We will demonstrate that, admitting a small percentage error, an algorithm can bring substantial benefits in terms of computational complexity and memory requirements.
Detecting Malicious Websites using Machine LearningAndrew Beard
We present a set of newly tuned algorithms that can distinguish between malicious and non-malicious websites with a high degree of accuracy using Machine Learning (ML). We use the Bro IDS/IPS tool for extracting the SSL certificates from network traffic and training the ML algorithms.
The extracted SSL attributes are then loaded into multiple ML frameworks such as Splunk, AWS ML and we run a series of classification algorithms to identify those attributes that correlate with malicious sites.
Our analysis shows that there are a number of emerging patterns that even allow for identification of high-jacked devices and self-signed certificates. We present the results of our analysis which show which attributes are the most relevant for detecting malicious SSL certificates and as well the performance of the ML algorithms.

Storm is a distributed real-time computation framework created by Nathan Marz at BackType/Twitter to analyze tweets, links, and users on Twitter in real-time. It provides scalability, fault tolerance, and guarantees of data processing. Storm addresses problems with Hadoop like lack of real-time processing, long latency, and tedious coding through its stream processing capabilities and by being stateless. It has features like scalability, fault tolerance through Zookeeper, and guarantees of at least once processing.

Architecting R into the Storm Application Development Process
~~~~~
The business need for real-time analytics at large scale has focused attention on the use of Apache Storm, but an approach that is sometimes overlooked is the use of Storm and R together. This novel combination of real-time processing with Storm and the practical but powerful statistical analysis offered by R substantially extends the usefulness of Storm as a solution to a variety of business critical problems. By architecting R into the Storm application development process, Storm developers can be much more effective. The aim of this design is not necessarily to deploy faster code but rather to deploy code faster. Just a few lines of R code can be used in place of lengthy Storm code for the purpose of early exploration – you can easily evaluate alternative approaches and quickly make a working prototype.
In this presentation, Allen will build a bridge from basic real-time business goals to the technical design of solutions. We will take an example of a real-world use case, compose an implementation of the use case as Storm components (spouts, bolts, etc.) and highlight how R can be an effective tool in prototyping a solution.

Streaming data presents new challenges for statistics and machine learning on extremely large data sets. Tools such as Apache Storm, a stream processing framework, can power range of data analytics but lack advanced statistical capabilities. These slides are from the Apache.con talk, which discussed developing streaming algorithms with the flexibility of both Storm and R, a statistical programming language.
At the talk I dicsussed issues of why and how to use Storm and R to develop streaming algorithms; in particular I focused on:
• Streaming algorithms
• Online machine learning algorithms
• Use cases showing how to process hundreds of millions of events a day in (near) real time

This document provides an overview of machine learning concepts for computer vision. It discusses why machine learning is useful, especially for visual tasks that are difficult to define algorithmically. It covers supervised and unsupervised learning, common machine learning tasks in computer vision like classification and detection, and example algorithms like decision trees and random forests. It also addresses important concepts like overfitting and techniques to avoid it, such as separating training and test data and using ensemble methods.
How to use Parquet as a basis for ETL and analyticsJulien Le Dem
Parquet is a columnar format designed to be extremely efficient and interoperable across the hadoop ecosystem. Its integration in most of the Hadoop processing frameworks (Impala, Hive, Pig, Cascading, Crunch, Scalding, Spark, …) and serialization models (Thrift, Avro, Protocol Buffers, …) makes it easy to use in existing ETL and processing pipelines, while giving flexibility of choice on the query engine (whether in Java or C++). In this talk, we will describe how one can us Parquet with a wide variety of data analysis tools like Spark, Impala, Pig, Hive, and Cascading to create powerful, efficient data analysis pipelines. Data management is simplified as the format is self describing and handles schema evolution. Support for nested structures enables more natural modeling of data for Hadoop compared to flat representations that create the need for often costly joins.
This document summarizes a benchmark study of file formats for Hadoop, including Avro, JSON, ORC, and Parquet. It found that ORC with zlib compression generally performed best for full table scans. However, Avro with Snappy compression worked better for datasets with many shared strings. The document recommends experimenting with the benchmarks, as performance can vary based on data characteristics and use cases like column projections.
Efficient Data Storage for Analytics with Apache Parquet 2.0Cloudera, Inc.
Apache Parquet is an open-source columnar storage format for efficient data storage and analytics. It provides efficient compression and encoding techniques that enable fast scans and queries of large datasets. Parquet 2.0 improves on these efficiencies through enhancements like delta encoding, binary packing designed for CPU efficiency, and predicate pushdown using statistics. Benchmark results show Parquet provides much better compression and query performance than row-oriented formats on big data workloads. The project is developed as an open-source community with contributions from many organizations.

Gartner predicts nearly 80 percent of businesses will adopt a hybrid strategy. Learn how a modern analytic database can power your business-critical workloads across multi-cloud and hybrid environments, while maintaining data portability. We'll also discuss how to best leverage the increased agility cloud provides, while maintaining peak performance.
Choosing an HDFS data storage format- Avro vs. Parquet and more - StampedeCon...StampedeCon
At the StampedeCon 2015 Big Data Conference: Picking your distribution and platform is just the first decision of many you need to make in order to create a successful data ecosystem. In addition to things like replication factor and node configuration, the choice of file format can have a profound impact on cluster performance. Each of the data formats have different strengths and weaknesses, depending on how you want to store and retrieve your data. For instance, we have observed performance differences on the order of 25x between Parquet and Plain Text files for certain workloads. However, it isn’t the case that one is always better than the others.
Internet of Things (IoT) - We Are at the Tip of An IcebergDr. Mazlan Abbas
You are likely benefitting from The Internet of Things (IoT) today, whether or not you’re familiar with the term. If your phone automatically connects to your car radio, or if you have a smartwatch counting your steps, congratulations! You have adopted one small piece of a very large IoT pie, even if you haven't adopted the name yet.
IoT may sound like a business buzzword, but in reality, it’s a real technological revolution that will impact everything we do. It's the next IT Tsunami of new possibility that is destined to change the face of technology, as we know it. IoT is the interconnectivity between things using wireless communication technology (each with their own unique identifiers) to connect objects, locations, animals, or people to the Internet, thus allowing for the direct transmission of and seamless sharing of data.
IoT represents a massive wave of technical innovation. Highly valuable companies will be built and new ecosystems will emerge from bridging the offline world with the online into one gigantic new network. Our limited understanding of the possibilities hinders our ability to see future applications for any new technology. Mainstream adoption of desktop computers and the Internet didn’t take hold until they became affordable and usable. When that occurred, fantastic and creative new innovation ensued. We are on the cusp of that tipping point with the Internet of Things.
IoT matters because it will create new industries, new companies, new jobs, and new economic growth. It will transform existing segments of our economy: retail, farming, industrial, logistics, cities, and the environment. It will turn your smartphone into the command center for the both digital and physical objects in your life. You will live and work smarter, not harder – and what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.
Budapest Spark Meetup - Apache Spark @enbrite.lyMészáros József
Budapest Spark Meetup - Apache Spark @enbrite.ly presentation held on
March 30, 2016.
The vision we all share at enbrite.ly is to create the next generation decision supporting system in online advertising that combines the market needs; anti-fraud, viewability, brand safety and traffic quality assurances in one platform. We do this by analyzing vast amount of data to create value for our customers. In the last 6 months we created our ETL pipeline, the core component of our data platform based on Apache Spark. In this presentation I share the journey from the whiteboard designs to the maintenance of a TB-scale data pipeline. I share the lessons we learned and the ups and downs using Spark in scale.
codecentric AG: Using Cassandra and Clojure for Data Crunching backendsDataStax Academy
Choosing tooling for Data Crunching and Analytics is no easy task. Understanding the way Cassandra works and treats the data can open up a lot of opportunities for optimization in your back-end. Learn how we developed a Smart Platform for complex, multidimensional analytics using the best available tools.
Statistical analysis and mining of huge multi-terabyte data sets is a common task nowadays, especially in the areas like web analytics and Internet advertising. Analysis of such large data sets often requires powerful distributed data stores like Hadoop and heavy data processing with techniques like MapReduce. This approach often leads to heavyweight high-latency analytical processes and poor applicability to realtime use cases. On the other hand, when one is interested only in simple additive metrics like total page views or average price of conversion, it is obvious that raw data can be efficiently summarized, for example, on a daily basis or using simple in-stream counters. Computation of more advanced metrics like a number of unique visitor or most frequent items is more challenging and requires a lot of resources if implemented straightforwardly. In this article, I provide an overview of probabilistic data structures that allow one to estimate these and many other metrics and trade precision of the estimations for the memory consumption.
Probabilistic Data Structures and Approximate SolutionsOleksandr Pryymak
Probabilistic and approximate data structures can provide scalable solutions when exact answers are not required. They trade accuracy for speed and efficiency. Approaches like sampling, hashing, cardinality estimation, and probabilistic databases allow analyzing large datasets while controlling error rates. Example techniques discussed include Bloom filters, locality-sensitive hashing, count-min sketches, HyperLogLog, and feature hashing for machine learning. The talk provided code examples and comparisons of these probabilistic methods.
1) The document discusses algorithms for computing statistics like minimum, maximum, average over data streams using limited memory in a single pass. It covers algorithms for computing cardinality, heavy hitters, order statistics and histograms.
2) Cardinality can be estimated using the Flajolet-Martin algorithm which tracks the position of the rightmost zero bit in a bitmap. Heavy hitters can be found using the Count-Min sketch. Order statistics like the median can be approximated using the Frugal and T-Digest algorithms. Wavelet-based approaches can be used to compute histograms over data streams.
3) The document provides high-level explanations of these streaming algorithms along with references for further reading, but does not
This document provides an overview of probabilistic data structures including Bloom filters, Cuckoo filters, Count-Min sketch, majority algorithm, linear counting, LogLog, HyperLogLog, locality sensitive hashing, minhash, and simhash. It discusses how Bloom filters work using hash functions to insert elements into a bit array and can tell if an element is likely present or definitely not present. It also explains how Count-Min sketch tracks frequencies in a stream using hash functions and finding the minimum value in each hash table cell. Finally, it summarizes how HyperLogLog estimates cardinality by tracking the maximum number of leading zeros when hashing random numbers.

Probabilistic data structures. Part 3. FrequencyAndrii Gakhov
The book "Probabilistic Data Structures and Algorithms in Big Data Applications" is now available at Amazon and from local bookstores. More details at https://pdsa.gakhov.com
In the presentation, I described popular and very simple data structures and algorithms to estimate the frequency of elements or find most occurred values in a data stream, such as Count-Min Sketch, Majority Algorithm, and Misra-Gries Algorithm. Each approach comes with some math that is behind it and simple examples to clarify the theory statements.
Four main types of probabilistic data structures are described: membership, cardinality, frequency, and similarity. Bloom filters and cuckoo filters are discussed as membership data structures that can tell if an element is definitely not or may be in a set. Cardinality structures like HyperLogLog are able to estimate large cardinalities with small error rates. Count-Min Sketch is presented as a frequency data structure. MinHash and locality sensitive hashing are covered as similarity data structures that can efficiently find similar documents in large datasets.
Using Approximate Data for Small, Insightful Analytics (Ben Kornmeier, Protec...DataStax
Running a Cassandra cluster in AWS that can store petabytes worth of data can be costly. This talk will detail the novel approach of using approximate data structures to keep costs low, yet retain insightful, and up to date query results. The talk will explore a number of real world examples from our environment to demonstrate the power of approximate data. It will cover: determining how many IP addresses are on a network, ranking IPs by traffic, and finally determining approximate min, max, and averages on values. The talk will also cover how this data is laid out in Cassandra, so that a query always returns up to date data, without burdening the compactor.

http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Computing-Geometry-Graphics-Charles/dp/1584504277
The document discusses several topics:
1. It explains the stream data model architecture with a diagram showing streams entering a processing system and being stored in an archival store or working store.
2. It defines a Bloom filter and describes how to calculate the probability of a false positive.
3. It outlines the Girvan-Newman algorithm for detecting communities in a graph by calculating betweenness values and removing edges.
4. It mentions PageRank and the Flajolet-Martin algorithm for approximating the number of unique objects in a data stream.
The document summarizes the Count-Min Sketch streaming algorithm. It uses a two-dimensional array and d independent hash functions to estimate item frequencies in a data stream using sublinear space. It works by incrementing the appropriate counters in each row when an item arrives. The estimated frequency of an item is the minimum value across the rows. Analysis shows that for an array width w proportional to 1/ε, the estimate will be within an additive error of ε times the total frequency with high probability.
An introduction to probabilistic data structuresMiguel Ping
This document provides an overview of probabilistic data structures. It describes how they trade accuracy for speed or space by providing approximate results. Specific probabilistic data structures covered include Bloom filters, count-min sketch, t-digest, and hyperloglog. Bloom filters are used for set membership tests and can return false positives but not false negatives. Count-min sketch counts frequencies/popular items with a two-dimensional array. T-digest approximates quantiles through a sparse representation of the cumulative distribution function. Hyperloglog estimates cardinality by observing leading zeros in binary representations.
Probabilistic Data Structures (Edmonton Data Science Meetup, March 2018)Kyle Davis
Let's explore how Redis (and Redis Enterprise) can be used to store data in not only deterministic structures but also probabilistic structures like Bloom filters, HyperLogLog, Count Min Sketch and Cuckoo filters. We examine both usage and briefly summarize the algorithms that back these structures. Also we review the use-cases and applications for probabilistic structures.
This document discusses concepts related to data streams and real-time analytics. It begins with introductions to stream data models and sampling techniques. It then covers filtering, counting, and windowing queries on data streams. The document discusses challenges of stream processing like bounded memory and proposes solutions like sampling and sketching. It provides examples of applications in various domains and tools for real-time data streaming and analytics.
Slides from my talk at UAI 2012 conference.
We describe 北斎 Hokusai, a real time system which is able to capture frequency information for streams of arbitrary sequences of symbols. The algorithm uses the CountMin sketch as its basis and exploits the fact that sketching is linear. It provides real time statistics of arbitrary events, e.g. streams of queries as a function of time. We use a factorizing approximation to provide point estimates at arbitrary (time, item) combinations. Queries can be answered in constant time.

Probabilistic algorithms for fun and pseudorandom profitTyler Treat
There's an increasing demand for real-time data ingestion and processing. Systems like Apache Kafka, Samza, and Storm have become popular for this reason. This type of high-volume, online data processing presents an interesting set of new challenges, namely, how do we drink from the firehose without getting drenched? Explore some of the fundamental primitives used in stream processing and, specifically, how we can use probabilistic methods to solve the problem.
This document presents a framework for context-aware service recommendation. It begins with background on web services and the challenge of recommendation given data sparsity. It then discusses using context information like user location and service provider to learn features. A probabilistic matrix factorization approach is introduced to model user-service interactions in a joint low-rank feature space. The framework incorporates learning user-specific and service-specific context-aware features which are combined in a unified model. An experiment evaluates the approach on a real-world dataset and compares to baseline methods.

This document discusses various approaches to text clustering, including K-means clustering, Gaussian mixture models, and matrix factorization. It notes some of the limitations and assumptions of these approaches, such as the need to specify the number of clusters for K-means and the assumption of Gaussian distributions. The document also discusses other approaches like hierarchical clustering and methods that can handle sparse data like text. The goal is to provide an overview of clustering techniques for text without advanced mathematics.
This document provides an overview of hierarchical topic modeling. It begins with background on text summarization and topic modeling. Some key concepts in topic modeling like latent semantic analysis and probabilistic latent semantic indexing (PLSI) are introduced. Popular topic models like latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and hierarchical topic models using the Chinese restaurant process are described. Gibbs sampling is discussed as a method for parameter estimation in topic models. The document concludes with examples of hierarchical topic modeling and information on the author's related work.
This document provides an overview of hierarchical topic modeling. It begins with background on text summarization and topic modeling. Topic modeling aims to learn latent topics from a corpus using probabilistic models like PLSI and LDA. Hierarchical topic modeling uses non-parametric Bayesian models like the Chinese Restaurant Process to capture hierarchical structure in topics. The document explains the generative process of nested CRP models and provides examples of hierarchical topics. It also discusses parameter estimation methods and provides supplemental information on probabilistic graphical models and references for further reading.
Yueshen Xu is a fifth-year Ph.D. student in computer science at Zhejiang University in China. He has published papers in several international conferences and journals on topics related to recommender systems, text mining, and natural language processing. He was a visiting student at the University of Illinois at Chicago from 2014-2015 and has worked as an intern developing recommendation algorithms.
Learning to recommend with user generated contentYueshen Xu
This document discusses recommendation systems that incorporate user generated content (UGC) such as tags, reviews, questions/answers, blogs and tweets. It proposes two new matrix factorization-based recommendation models: 1) UTR-MF which regularizes user latent factors based on their interested topics learned from UGC, and 2) ITR-MF which regularizes item latent factors based on their topic distributions learned from associated UGC. The models are evaluated on three real-world datasets and are shown to outperform baselines by utilizing UGC to better learn user preferences and item features. Future work could explore incorporating other UGC types like tweets and blogs.
This document discusses social recommender systems. It begins by noting the large size of major social media sites and how recommender systems can help with information overload on these sites. It then discusses how recommender systems are based on principles of word-of-mouth recommendations and collaborate filtering. Several fundamental recommendation approaches are described, including collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and hybrid methods. Matrix factorization techniques like singular value decomposition (SVD) are also covered. The document concludes by discussing trends in expanding recommender systems to incorporate more relationship data and higher-dimensional tensor models.
This is an introduction of Topic Modeling, including tf-idf, LSA, pLSA, LDA, EM, and some other related materials. I know there are definitely some mistakes, and you can correct them with your wisdom. Thank you~
Acoustic modeling using deep belief networksYueshen Xu
This document describes using deep belief networks (DBNs) for acoustic modeling in automatic speech recognition. It involves pre-training a multi-layer neural network as a generative model one layer at a time using restricted Boltzmann machines. The pre-trained network is then fine-tuned discriminatively using backpropagation to output phoneme probabilities. The approach achieves better phone recognition than Gaussian mixture models by learning multiple layers of features from data without strong distribution assumptions.
The document summarizes a data mining program held at Renmin University in Beijing from May 21-27, 2012. It discusses the various lecturers and topics covered during the program. Professors Yang, Han, and Pei each gave lectures on their areas of expertise, including classification and transfer learning, information network models, and mining uncertain data. The curriculum focused mainly on data mining and included both basic and advanced concepts. Participants were encouraged to actively engage and ask questions throughout the program.

5. Trouble Duplication Why? Wide scale monitoring invariably encounters the same events at different points 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU Instances The same flow will be observed in different routers The same individual will be observed by several mobile sensors Requirement Duplicate-resilient aggregate Two vital questions What is the amount of duplication in the network? What are the versions of classical aggregates in the presence of duplicates? root of all evil
6. Topic What kind of topics are researchers interested in ? Aggregation computation Routing algorithms … What is the aggregation? Summarization, namely a statistic variable describing the original data sets Examples min, max, quantile, heavy hitter distinct counts, average, sum … 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU Not strange contacting with data streams Why aggregation? transaction
7. Problems and Concerns Distinct count To obtain the number of distinct data (item, record, etc) in multi-sets, namely the cardinality Distinct sample Important, but I’m sorry that I haven’t finished this part 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU What does this paper concern about? Priority: correctness, communication cost Computational cost, space cost ! Features attached to those algorithms applied to distributed environments
8. Distinct Counting: Flajolet-Martin Sketch Flajolet-Martin Sketch P. Flajolet, G. Martin . Probabilistic Counting Algorithms for Data Base Applications . Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1985(Cited by 628) Goal: To estimate the cardinalities of multi-sets of data using relative small space by one pass scan The sketch is a kind of data structure, which is the way to obtain the aggregation results. (skyline) I think this method can be regarded as the classical application of probability without complexity. 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU Give a question: How about you dealing with this problem? The computing paradigm of sketching Be appropriate for using in data streams inherently
9. Flajolet-Martin Sketch(Cont.) Preliminary what do we need? the Multi-set M, containing all items/records, and |M| = n the upper bound on the number of distinct items/records U, which is more than n the bitmap B, consisting of L elements, and 2 L = U the hash function h(x: item/record), transforming each items into a binary string distributed uniformly over the range of [1…2 L ], just like b 1 b 2 …b L , in which b 1 is the lowest digit, and b L is the highest the p(x), attaining the left most position of ‘1’ 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU counting not computing 1 1 … 0 B 0 PPT VS Whiteboard ? x record h(x) 1 L
10. Flajolet-Martin Sketch(Cont.) The algorithm itself the core task: Remarking the position of which the leftmost ‘1’ of the hash value recorded by p(x) in bitmap B 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU for i:=1 to L do bitmap[i] :=0 for all x in M do begin index := p(hash(x)); if bitmap[index] = the bitmap[index] :=1; end Why?
11. Flajolet-Martin Sketch(Cont.) The explanation The fact: bitmap[k] equals to 1 iff after execution a pattern of the form 0 k-1 1 has appeared amongst hashed values of records in M The probability: the occurrence probability of the pattern 0 k-1 1 is 1/2 k Occurrence times: so if |M| = n, then bitmap[1] is accessed approximately n/2 times, bitmap[2] approximately n/4 times Extension: bitmap[k] will almost certainly be zero if k >> log 2 (n) and one if k << log 2 (n) wit a fringe of 0 and 1 for k ≈ log 2 (n) Selection: the leftmost 0, the rightmost 1 or something else 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU U The most practical part is over, and the left is very complicated taken for proving and error analysis, namely all about mathematic for i:=1 to L do bitmap[i] :=0 for all x in M do begin index := p(hash(x)); if bitmap[index] = the bitmap[index] :=1; end
12. Flajolet-Martin Sketch(Cont.) Conclusion Analysis Bit-based, reducing the space complexity by constant level Space complexity O(log(n)) O(log(log(n))) Duplicate-insensitive duplicate-resilient and flexible Order-insensitive stable and robust Additivity The ability to merge two FM sketches together, and the merger is simply the bitwise-or of each pair of corresponding bitmaps Questions How to make the value of U? What’s the relationship of U and n? How to make the analysis to the error? … 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU nice qualities for distributed aggregation
13. Question What’s the relationship between sketch and skyline? Are they the same? Or… Does the aggregation computation belong to the research fields of data mining ? No, I think 12/15/11 Middleware, CCNT, ZJU
