Forecasting Stock Time-Series using Data Approximation and Pattern Sequence Similarity
Time series analysis is the process of building a model using statistical
techniques to represent characteristics of time series data. Processing and
forecasting huge time series data is a challenging task. This paper presents
Approximation and Prediction of Stock Time-series data (APST), which is a two
step approach to predict the direction of change of stock price indices. First,
performs data approximation by using the technique called Multilevel Segment
Mean (MSM). In second phase, prediction is performed for the approximated data
using Euclidian distance and Nearest-Neighbour technique. The computational
cost of data approximation is O(n ni) and computational cost of prediction task
is O(m |NN|). Thus, the accuracy and the time required for prediction in the
proposed method is comparatively efficient than the existing Label Based
Forecasting (LBF) method [1].Comment: 11 page

The dynamics of computerization in a social science research team : a case study of infrastructure, strategies, and skills
This paper examines the dynamics of Computerization in a PC-oriented research group through a case study. The time and skill in integrating computing into the labor processes of research are often significant "hidden costs" of computerization. Computing infrastructure plays a key role in reducing these costs may be enhanced by careful organization. We illustrate computerization strategies that we have found to be productive and unproductive. Appropriate computerization strategies depend as much on the structuring of resources and interests in the larger social setting, as on a technical characterization of tasks
Mastering Heterogeneous Behavioural Models
Heterogeneity is one important feature of complex systems, leading to the
complexity of their construction and analysis. Moving the heterogeneity at
model level helps in mastering the difficulty of composing heterogeneous models
which constitute a large system. We propose a method made of an algebra and
structure morphisms to deal with the interaction of behavioural models,
provided that they are compatible. We prove that heterogeneous models can
interact in a safe way, and therefore complex heterogeneous systems can be
built and analysed incrementally. The Uppaal tool is targeted for
experimentations.Comment: 16 pages, a short version to appear in MEDI'201
Formal Verification of Input-Output Mappings of Tree Ensembles
Recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence are now being
considered in safety-critical autonomous systems where software defects may
cause severe harm to humans and the environment. Design organizations in these
domains are currently unable to provide convincing arguments that their systems
are safe to operate when machine learning algorithms are used to implement
their software.
In this paper, we present an efficient method to extract equivalence classes
from decision trees and tree ensembles, and to formally verify that their
input-output mappings comply with requirements. The idea is that, given that
safety requirements can be traced to desirable properties on system
input-output patterns, we can use positive verification outcomes in safety
arguments. This paper presents the implementation of the method in the tool
VoTE (Verifier of Tree Ensembles), and evaluates its scalability on two case
studies presented in current literature.
We demonstrate that our method is practical for tree ensembles trained on
low-dimensional data with up to 25 decision trees and tree depths of up to 20.
Our work also studies the limitations of the method with high-dimensional data
and preliminarily investigates the trade-off between large number of trees and
time taken for verification
