A case study of predicting banking customers behaviour by using data mining
Data Mining (DM) is a technique that examines information stored in large database or data warehouse and find the patterns or trends in the data that are not yet known or suspected. DM techniques have been applied to a variety of different domains including Customer Relationship Management CRM). In this research, a new Customer Knowledge Management (CKM) framework based on data mining is proposed. The proposed data mining framework in this study manages relationships between banking organizations and their customers. Two typical data mining techniques - Neural Network and Association Rules - are applied to predict the behavior of customers and to increase the decision-making processes for recalling valued customers in banking industries. The experiments on the real world dataset are conducted and the different metrics are used to evaluate the performances of the two data mining models. The results indicate that the Neural Network model achieves better accuracy but takes longer time to train the model
Tube Convolutional Neural Network (T-CNN) for Action Detection in Videos
Deep learning has been demonstrated to achieve excellent results for image
classification and object detection. However, the impact of deep learning on
video analysis (e.g. action detection and recognition) has been limited due to
complexity of video data and lack of annotations. Previous convolutional neural
networks (CNN) based video action detection approaches usually consist of two
major steps: frame-level action proposal detection and association of proposals
across frames. Also, these methods employ two-stream CNN framework to handle
spatial and temporal feature separately. In this paper, we propose an
end-to-end deep network called Tube Convolutional Neural Network (T-CNN) for
action detection in videos. The proposed architecture is a unified network that
is able to recognize and localize action based on 3D convolution features. A
video is first divided into equal length clips and for each clip a set of tube
proposals are generated next based on 3D Convolutional Network (ConvNet)
features. Finally, the tube proposals of different clips are linked together
employing network flow and spatio-temporal action detection is performed using
these linked video proposals. Extensive experiments on several video datasets
demonstrate the superior performance of T-CNN for classifying and localizing
actions in both trimmed and untrimmed videos compared to state-of-the-arts
SOM-based Data Analysis of Speculative Attacks' Real Effects
In some cases, currency crises are followed by strong recessions (e.g., recent Asian and Argentinean crises), but in other cases they are not. This paper uses Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) to search for meaningful associations between speculative attacks' real effects and 28 variables that characterize the economic, financial, legal, and socio-political structure of the country at the onset of the attack. SOM is a neural network-based generalization of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) that provides an efficient non-linear projection of the multidimensional data space on a curved surface. This paper finds a strong association of speculative attacks' real effects with fundamentals and the banking sector structureexploratory data analysis, self-organizing maps, neural networks, speculative attacks' real effects
Neuroimaging Feature Extraction using a Neural Network Classifier for Imaging Genetics
A major issue in the association of genes to neuroimaging phenotypes is the
high dimension of both genetic data and neuroimaging data. In this article, we
tackle the latter problem with an eye toward developing solutions that are
relevant for disease prediction. Supported by a vast literature on the
predictive power of neural networks, our proposed solution uses neural networks
to extract from neuroimaging data features that are relevant for predicting
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) for subsequent relation to genetics. Our
neuroimaging-genetic pipeline is comprised of image processing, neuroimaging
feature extraction and genetic association steps. We propose a neural network
classifier for extracting neuroimaging features that are related with disease
and a multivariate Bayesian group sparse regression model for genetic
association. We compare the predictive power of these features to expert
selected features and take a closer look at the SNPs identified with the new
neuroimaging features.Comment: Under revie
