Abstract

Reranking techniques for video search results has been an important research topic over the years. Many methods have been proposed considering both the overall and the topmost result performance. One of such method is done by fusing multiple modalities in different feature spaces. This paper presents the impact of number of clusters on such a reranking scheme. Experiments show that this will largely affect the final reranking performance. For clustering NCut clustering algorithm has been used which is a spectral clustering algorithm.

Keywords

Abstract

Mining frequent item-sets or patterns from an online transactional database is one of the fundamental and essential operations in many data mining applications. Apriori and FP-growth are some of the examples for the existing frequent pattern mining algorithms. Only the frequent items sets and their counts are found out by these algorithms. They do not consider anything about the time stamps associated with the transaction. Each transaction database usually consists of time stamp of each transaction. This time stamp is a sequence of characters denoting the date and time at which a certain event occurred. This paper extends the existing frequent pattern mining algorithms to take into account time stamp of each transaction. And also discovers a new type of patterns whose frequency dramatically changes over time which is defined as transitional patterns. The frequency of the transitional patterns may increase or decrease at some time points in a transaction database. These patterns capture the dynamic behavior of frequent patterns in a transaction database. This paper also studies a new concept called significant milestones, which are time points at which the frequency of the pattern changes most significantly. This paper objective is to find out such transitional patterns and their significant milestones that considering the timestamp of each transaction, a modified transitional pattern mining algorithm is presented.

Abstract

Using form based interface, user can easily extract data from database without the knowledge of the formal query language and the underlying database schema. Form should be simple and easy to understand and it should support as many queries as possible. In this paper a framework is studied for generating the forms automatically according to the user needs. This automated technique does not require interface developers or end users to manually build forms. This paper also provides a mechanism for extending the forms to support future similar queries for which the clustering approach identified. It is to adjust forms to reflect the most current querying needs without creating new query form.

Abstract

The process of extracting interesting implicit knowledge from large information repositories like relational databases, data warehouse etc. and summarizing into useful information is called as Data Mining. Data Mining is also known as knowledge discovery in databases, knowledge extraction, business intelligence etc. Data mining should be applicable to any kind of data repository as well as to transient data such as data streams. A transactional database consists of a file where each record represents a transaction. Frequent patterns are patterns that occur frequently in data. There are various approaches proposed for frequent pattern mining. But this paper is discussing about transitional patterns that are patterns whose frequency dramatically changes over time and various approaches of frequent pattern mining that do not consider the time stamp of each transaction.

Keywords

Frequent Patterns, Data Mining, Transitional Patterns, Transaction Database.

Abstract

Most of the image search engines nowadays use mainly text-based information. Since surrounding text is not always accurate, the returned images are often noisy and disorganized. Proposed work re-ranks current web search engine results according to user profile information. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) uses visual feature to evaluate image similarity. However, due to the diversity of images and features, a universal feature set for all the images is hard to find. Relevance feedback uses user labeled images to improve image rank. However, most relevance feedback methods require online training based on feedback samples, and cannot be easily used for real-time online application. In this paper, we develop a technique to model user profile in order to regulate feature extraction and matching scheme to be used to re-organize images which has been retrieved by the web image search engine. The system has been designed to re-rank text-based search results in an interactive manner according to user intention.
