    摘要: Methods of imaging objects based on wavelet retrieval of scenes utilize wavelet transformation of plural defined regions of a query image. By increasing the granularity of the query image to greater than one region, accurate feature vectors are obtained that allow for robust extraction of corresponding regions from a database of target images. The methods further include the use of sliding windows to decompose the query and target images into regions, and the clustering of the regions utilizing a novel similarity metric that ensures robust image matching in low response times.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a computer method, apparatus and programmed medium for clustering databases containing data with categorical attributes. The present invention assigns a pair of points to be neighbors if their similarity exceeds a certain threshold. The similarity value for pairs of points can be based on non-metric information. The present invention determines a total number of links between each cluster and every other cluster bases upon the neighbors of the clusters. A goodness measure between each cluster and every other cluster based upon the total number of links between each cluster and every other cluster and the total number of points within each cluster and every other cluster is then calculated. The present invention merges the two clusters with the best goodness measure. Thus, clustering is performed accurately and efficiently by merging data based on the amount of links between the data to be clustered.

    摘要: A new method for identifying a predetermined number of data points of interest in a large data set. The data points of interest are ranked in relation to the distance to their neighboring points. The method employs partition-based detection algorithms to partition the data points and then compute upper and lower bounds for each partition. These bounds are then used to eliminate those partitions that do contain the predetermined number of data points of interest. The data points of interest are then computed from the remaining partitions that were not eliminated. The present method eliminates a significant number of data points from consideration as the points of interest, thereby resulting in substantial savings in computational expense compared to conventional methods employed to identify such points.

    摘要: In a data processing system, association rules are used to determine correlations of attributes of collected data, thereby extracting insightful information therefrom. In solving an optimized association rule problem where multiple instantiations for at least one uninstantiated attribute are required, unlike prior art, not all possible instantiations are considered to realize an optimized set of instantiations. Rather, using inventive pruning techniques, only selected instantiations need to be considered to realize same. In accordance with the invention, instantiations are assigned weights and are subject to pruning in an order dependent upon their weight. The weighted instantiations are tested based on selected criteria to identify, for example, those instantiations, consideration of which for the optimized set would be redundant in view of other instantiations to be considered. The identified instantiations are disregarded to increase the efficiency of determining the optimized set.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and system for sequential pattern mining with a given constraint. A Regular Expression (RE) is used for identifying the family of interesting frequent patterns. A family of methods that enforce the RE constraint to different degrees within the generating and pruning of candidate patterns during the mining process is utilized. This is accomplished by employing different relaxations of the RE constraint in the mining loop. Those sequences which satisfy the given constraint are thus identified most expeditiously.

    摘要: An electronic data mining process for mining from an electronic data base using an electronic digital computer a listing of commercially useful information of the type known in the art as an association rule containing at least one uninstantiated condition. For example, the commercially useful information may be information useful for sales promotion, such as promotion of telephone usage. The computer retrieves from the database a plurality of stored parameters from which measures of the uninstatiated condition can be determined. The computer uses a dynamic programming algorithm and iterates over intervals or sub-ranges of the parameters to obtain what is called an at least partially optimized association rule, as optimized intervals or sub-ranges of at least some of the retrieved parameters, for example, time intervals of high usage of certain types of telephone connections. These optimized intervals are provided as the listed commercially useful information. The amount of needed iteration is reduced in some cases by using so-called bucketing and divide-and-conquer techniques. Extension of the process for a plurality of uninstantiated conditions is described.

    摘要: A method of data classification using a decision tree having nodes is disclosed, along with an apparatus for perming the method. Periodically or after a certain number of nodes of the tree are split, the partially built tree is pruned. During the building phase the minimum cost of subtrees rooted at leaf nodes that can still be expanded (“yet to be expanded nodes”)is computed. With the computation of the minimum subtree cost at nodes, the nodes pruned are a subset of those that would have been pruned anyway during the pruning phase, and they are pruned while the tree is still being built.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a computer method, apparatus and programmed medium for clustering large databases. The present invention represents each cluster to be merged by a constant number of well scattered points that capture the shape and extent of the cluster. The chosen scattered points are shrunk towards the mean of the cluster by a shrinking fraction to form a representative set of data points that efficiently represent the cluster. The clusters with the closest pair of representative points are merged to form a new cluster. The use of an efficient representation of the clusters allows the present invention to obtain improved clustering while efficiently eliminating outliers.
