Introduction to Data Mining presents fundamental concepts and algorithms for those learning data mining for the first time. Each concept is explored thoroughly and supported with numerous examples. The text requires only a modest background in mathematics. Each major topic is organized into two chapters, beginning with basic concepts that provide ...
Take an in-depth look at techniques for the design and analysis of parallel algorithms with this new text. The broad, balanced coverage of important core topics includes sorting and graph algorithms, discrete optimization techniques, and scientific computing applications. The authors focus on parallel algorithms for realistic machine models while ...
The three-volume set, LNCS 2667, LNCS 2668, and LNCS 2669, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2003, held in Montreal, Canada, in May 2003. The three volumes present more than 300 papers and span the whole range of computational science from foundational issues ...
Knowledge discovery and data mining (KDD) deals with the extraction of associations, classifiers, clusters and other patterns from data. Network-based distributed computing environments have introduced an important dimension to this problem - distributed sources of data. Traditional centralized KDD typically requires central aggregation of ...
Modern society depends critically on computers that control and manage the systems on which we depend in many aspects of our daily lives. While this provides conveniences of a level unimaginable just a few years ago, it also leaves us vulnerable to attacks on the computers managing these systems. In recent times the explosion in cyber attacks, ...
From classification and clustering to statistical learning, association analysis, and link mining, this book covers the most important topics in data mining research. It presents the ten most influential algorithms used in the data mining community today. Each chapter provides a detailed description of the algorithm, a discussion of available ...
Contains the 15 papers presented at the November 1998 symposium sponsored by the materials division of the ASME. The papers are nearly equally divided between the two broad areas of structure-to- property characterization and foam processing. The topics addressed include acoustic, tensile, impact, and more.
Recent research results in the area of parallel algorithms for problem solving, search, natural language parsing, and computer vision, are brought together in this book. The research reported demonstrates that substantial parallelism can be exploited in various machine intelligence and vision problems. The chapter authors are prominent researchers ...
