A Novel Progressive Multi-label Classifier for Classincremental Data
In this paper, a progressive learning algorithm for multi-label
classification to learn new labels while retaining the knowledge of previous
labels is designed. New output neurons corresponding to new labels are added
and the neural network connections and parameters are automatically
restructured as if the label has been introduced from the beginning. This work
is the first of the kind in multi-label classifier for class-incremental
learning. It is useful for real-world applications such as robotics where
streaming data are available and the number of labels is often unknown. Based
on the Extreme Learning Machine framework, a novel universal classifier with
plug and play capabilities for progressive multi-label classification is
developed. Experimental results on various benchmark synthetic and real
datasets validate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 4 table
What attracts vehicle consumers’ buying:A Saaty scale-based VIKOR (SSC-VIKOR) approach from after-sales textual perspective?
Purpose:
The increasingly booming e-commerce development has stimulated vehicle consumers to express individual reviews through online forum. The purpose of this paper is to probe into the vehicle consumer consumption behavior and make recommendations for potential consumers from textual comments viewpoint.
Design/methodology/approach:
A big data analytic-based approach is designed to discover vehicle consumer consumption behavior from online perspective. To reduce subjectivity of expert-based approaches, a parallel NaĂŻve Bayes approach is designed to analyze the sentiment analysis, and the Saaty scale-based (SSC) scoring rule is employed to obtain specific sentimental value of attribute class, contributing to the multi-grade sentiment classification. To achieve the intelligent recommendation for potential vehicle customers, a novel SSC-VIKOR approach is developed to prioritize vehicle brand candidates from a big data analytical viewpoint.
Findings:
The big data analytics argue that “cost-effectiveness” characteristic is the most important factor that vehicle consumers care, and the data mining results enable automakers to better understand consumer consumption behavior.
Research limitations/implications:
The case study illustrates the effectiveness of the integrated method, contributing to much more precise operations management on marketing strategy, quality improvement and intelligent recommendation.
Originality/value:
Researches of consumer consumption behavior are usually based on survey-based methods, and mostly previous studies about comments analysis focus on binary analysis. The hybrid SSC-VIKOR approach is developed to fill the gap from the big data perspective
HitFraud: A Broad Learning Approach for Collective Fraud Detection in Heterogeneous Information Networks
On electronic game platforms, different payment transactions have different
levels of risk. Risk is generally higher for digital goods in e-commerce.
However, it differs based on product and its popularity, the offer type
(packaged game, virtual currency to a game or subscription service), storefront
and geography. Existing fraud policies and models make decisions independently
for each transaction based on transaction attributes, payment velocities, user
characteristics, and other relevant information. However, suspicious
transactions may still evade detection and hence we propose a broad learning
approach leveraging a graph based perspective to uncover relationships among
suspicious transactions, i.e., inter-transaction dependency. Our focus is to
detect suspicious transactions by capturing common fraudulent behaviors that
would not be considered suspicious when being considered in isolation. In this
paper, we present HitFraud that leverages heterogeneous information networks
for collective fraud detection by exploring correlated and fast evolving
fraudulent behaviors. First, a heterogeneous information network is designed to
link entities of interest in the transaction database via different semantics.
Then, graph based features are efficiently discovered from the network
exploiting the concept of meta-paths, and decisions on frauds are made
collectively on test instances. Experiments on real-world payment transaction
data from Electronic Arts demonstrate that the prediction performance is
effectively boosted by HitFraud with fast convergence where the computation of
meta-path based features is largely optimized. Notably, recall can be improved
up to 7.93% and F-score 4.62% compared to baselines.Comment: ICDM 201
