Kategoria BISAC: Computers >> Data Science - Data Analytics

Il libro nasce dall esigenza di coniugare esperienze e capacita procedurali diverse provenienti da vari ambiti disciplinari, quali l informatica e la statistica, al fine di ricercare ed individuare percorsi e relazioni legate alla conoscenza. In un contesto di business, la conoscenza scoperta puo avere un valore strategico per le aziende perche consente di aumentare i profitti, riducendo i costi oppure aumentando le entrate con il conseguente aumento del ROI. Il volume e rivolto sia a studenti universitari e ricercatori, che a professionisti e manager aziendali che vogliano approfondire...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings at PAKDD Workshops 2015, held in conjunction with PAKDD, the 19th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in May 2015. The 23 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The workshops affiliated with PAKDD 2015 include: Pattern Mining and Application of Big Data (BigPMA), Quality Issues, Measures of Interestingness and Evaluation of data mining models (QIMIE), Data Analytics for Evidence-based Healthcare (DAEBH), Vietnamese Language and Speech...

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques provides the concepts and techniques in processing gathered data or information, which will be used in various applications. Specifically, it explains data mining and the tools used in discovering knowledge from the collected data. This book is referred as the knowledge discovery from data (KDD). It focuses on the feasibility, usefulness, effectiveness, and scalability of techniques of large data sets. After describing data mining, this edition explains the methods of knowing, preprocessing, processing, and warehousing data. It then presents...

The field of data mining lies at the confluence of predictive analytics, statistical analysis, and business intelligence. Due to the ever-increasing complexity and size of data sets and the wide range of applications in computer science, business, and health care, the process of discovering knowledge in data is more relevant than ever before.

Optimization techniques have been widely adopted to implement various data mining algorithms. In addition to well-known Support Vector Machines (SVMs) (which are based on quadratic programming), different versions of Multiple Criteria Programming (MCP) have been extensively used in data separations. Since optimization based data mining methods differ from statistics, decision tree induction, and neural networks, their theoretical inspiration has attracted many researchers who are interested in algorithm development of data mining.

"Optimization based Data Mining: Theory and...

The ultimate goal of machines is to help humans to solve problems.
Such problems range between two extremes: structured problems for which the solution is totally defined (and thus are easily programmed by humans), and random problems for which the solution is completely undefined (and thus cannot be programmed). Problems in the vast middle ground have solutions that cannot be well defined and are, thus, inherently hard to program. Machine Learning is the way to handle this vast middle ground, so that many tedious and difficult hand-coding tasks would be replaced by automatic learning...

Designed for researchers, engineers, IT professionals, and graduate students in parallel and cloud computing, this volume covers the state of the art in cloud computing theory and practice. It spans the background, concepts, services, and middleware of cloud computing. A range of scientific researchers and professors in cloud computing, grid computing, high performance computing, and Internet computing discuss enabling techniques, system implementation, service functionalities, and various applications. Numerous case studies are included throughout the text.

Understanding sequence data, and the ability to utilize this hidden knowledge, will create a significant impact on many aspects of our society. Examples of sequence data include DNA, protein, customer purchase history, web surfing history, and more.

This book provides thorough coverage of the existing results on sequence data mining as well as pattern types and associated pattern mining methods. It offers balanced coverage on data mining and sequence data analysis, allowing readers to access the state-of-the-art results in one place.

This is the first book treating the fields of supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised machine learning collectively. The book presents both the theory and the algorithms for mining huge data sets using support vector machines (SVMs) in an iterative way. It demonstrates how kernel based SVMs can be used for dimensionality reduction and shows the similarities and differences between the two most popular unsupervised techniques.
