Encapsulation of Soft Computing Approaches within Itemset Mining a A Survey
Data Mining discovers patterns and trends by extracting knowledge from large databases. Soft Computing techniques such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, rough sets, etc. aims to reveal the tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty for achieving tractability, robustness and low-cost solutions. Fuzzy Logic and Rough sets are suitable for handling different types of uncertainty. Neural networks provide good learning and generalization. Genetic algorithms provide efficient search algorithms for selecting a model, from mixed media data. Data mining refers to information extraction while soft computing is used for information processing. For effective knowledge discovery from large databases, both Soft Computing and Data Mining can be merged. Association rule mining (ARM) and Itemset mining focus on finding most frequent item sets and corresponding association rules, extracting rare itemsets including temporal and fuzzy concepts in discovered patterns. This survey paper explores the usage of soft computing approaches in itemset utility mining
Mining Aircraft Telemetry Data With Evolutionary Algorithms
The Ganged Phased Array Radar - Risk Mitigation System (GPAR-RMS) was a
mobile ground-based sense-and-avoid system for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)
operations developed by the University of North Dakota. GPAR-RMS detected proximate
aircraft with various sensor systems, including a 2D radar and an Automatic Dependent
Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) receiver. Information about those aircraft was then
displayed to UAS operators via visualization software developed by the University of
North Dakota. The Risk Mitigation (RM) subsystem for GPAR-RMS was designed to
estimate the current risk of midair collision, between the Unmanned Aircraft (UA) and a
General Aviation (GA) aircraft flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) in the surrounding
airspace, for UAS operations in Class E airspace (i.e. below 18,000 feet MSL). However,
accurate probabilistic models for the behavior of pilots of GA aircraft flying under VFR
in Class E airspace were needed before the RM subsystem could be implemented.
In this dissertation the author presents the results of data mining an aircraft
telemetry data set from a consecutive nine month period in 2011. This aircraft telemetry
data set consisted of Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) data obtained from Garmin G1000
devices onboard every Cessna 172 in the University of North Dakota\u27s training fleet.
Data from aircraft which were potentially within the controlled airspace surrounding
controlled airports were excluded. Also, GA aircraft in the FDM data flying in Class E
airspace were assumed to be flying under VFR, which is usually a valid assumption.
Complex subpaths were discovered from the aircraft telemetry data set using a novel
application of an ant colony algorithm. Then, probabilistic models were data mined from
those subpaths using extensions of the Genetic K-Means (GKA) and Expectation-
Maximization (EM) algorithms.
The results obtained from the subpath discovery and data mining suggest a pilot
flying a GA aircraft near to an uncontrolled airport will perform different maneuvers than
a pilot flying a GA aircraft far from an uncontrolled airport, irrespective of the altitude of
the GA aircraft. However, since only aircraft telemetry data from the University of North
Dakota\u27s training fleet were data mined, these results are not likely to be applicable to GA
aircraft operating in a non-training environment
A comparative study of the AHP and TOPSIS methods for implementing load shedding scheme in a pulp mill system
The advancement of technology had encouraged mankind to design and create useful
equipment and devices. These equipment enable users to fully utilize them in various
applications. Pulp mill is one of the heavy industries that consumes large amount of
electricity in its production. Due to this, any malfunction of the equipment might
cause mass losses to the company. In particular, the breakdown of the generator
would cause other generators to be overloaded. In the meantime, the subsequence
loads will be shed until the generators are sufficient to provide the power to other
loads. Once the fault had been fixed, the load shedding scheme can be deactivated.
Thus, load shedding scheme is the best way in handling such condition. Selected load
will be shed under this scheme in order to protect the generators from being
damaged. Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) can be applied in determination
of the load shedding scheme in the electric power system. In this thesis two methods
which are Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by
Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) were introduced and applied. From this thesis,
a series of analyses are conducted and the results are determined. Among these two
methods which are AHP and TOPSIS, the results shown that TOPSIS is the best
Multi criteria Decision Making (MCDM) for load shedding scheme in the pulp mill
system. TOPSIS is the most effective solution because of the highest percentage
effectiveness of load shedding between these two methods. The results of the AHP
and TOPSIS analysis to the pulp mill system are very promising
A Review of Data Mining in Personalized Education: Current Trends and Future Prospects
Personalized education, tailored to individual student needs, leverages
educational technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the digital age to
enhance learning effectiveness. The integration of AI in educational platforms
provides insights into academic performance, learning preferences, and
behaviors, optimizing the personal learning process. Driven by data mining
techniques, it not only benefits students but also provides educators and
institutions with tools to craft customized learning experiences. To offer a
comprehensive review of recent advancements in personalized educational data
mining, this paper focuses on four primary scenarios: educational
recommendation, cognitive diagnosis, knowledge tracing, and learning analysis.
This paper presents a structured taxonomy for each area, compiles commonly used
datasets, and identifies future research directions, emphasizing the role of
data mining in enhancing personalized education and paving the way for future
exploration and innovation.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figure
