Learning from Multi-View Multi-Way Data via Structural Factorization Machines
Real-world relations among entities can often be observed and determined by
different perspectives/views. For example, the decision made by a user on
whether to adopt an item relies on multiple aspects such as the contextual
information of the decision, the item's attributes, the user's profile and the
reviews given by other users. Different views may exhibit multi-way
interactions among entities and provide complementary information. In this
paper, we introduce a multi-tensor-based approach that can preserve the
underlying structure of multi-view data in a generic predictive model.
Specifically, we propose structural factorization machines (SFMs) that learn
the common latent spaces shared by multi-view tensors and automatically adjust
the importance of each view in the predictive model. Furthermore, the
complexity of SFMs is linear in the number of parameters, which make SFMs
suitable to large-scale problems. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets
demonstrate that the proposed SFMs outperform several state-of-the-art methods
in terms of prediction accuracy and computational cost.Comment: 10 page
SkyDOT (Sky Database for Objects in the Time Domain): A Virtual Observatory for Variability Studies at LANL
The mining of Virtual Observatories (VOs) is becoming a powerful new method
for discovery in astronomy. Here we report on the development of SkyDOT (Sky
Database for Objects in the Time domain), a new Virtual Observatory, which is
dedicated to the study of sky variability. The site will confederate a number
of massive variability surveys and enable exploration of the time domain in
astronomy. We discuss the architecture of the database and the functionality of
the user interface. An important aspect of SkyDOT is that it is continuously
updated in near real time so that users can access new observations in a timely
manner. The site will also utilize high level machine learning tools that will
allow sophisticated mining of the archive. Another key feature is the real time
data stream provided by RAPTOR (RAPid Telescopes for Optical Response), a new
sky monitoring experiment under construction at Los Alamos National Laboratory
(LANL).Comment: to appear in SPIE proceedings vol. 4846, 11 pages, 5 figure
Data mining in bioinformatics using Weka
The Weka machine learning workbench provides a general purpose environment for automatic classification, regression, clustering and feature selection-common data mining problems in bioinformatics research. It contains an extensive collection of machine learning algorithms and data exploration and the experimental comparison of different machine learning techniques on the same problem. Weka can process data given in the form of a single relational table. Its main objectives are to (a) assist users in extracting useful information from data and (b) enable them to easily identify a suitable algorithm for generating an accurate predictive model from it
Inductive queries for a drug designing robot scientist
It is increasingly clear that machine learning algorithms need to be integrated in an iterative scientific discovery loop, in which data is queried repeatedly by means of inductive queries and where the computer provides guidance to the experiments that are being performed. In this chapter, we summarise several key challenges in achieving this integration of machine learning and data mining algorithms in methods for the discovery of Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSARs). We introduce the concept of a robot scientist, in which all steps of the discovery process are automated; we discuss the representation of molecular data such that knowledge discovery tools can analyse it, and we discuss the adaptation of machine learning and data mining algorithms to guide QSAR experiments
Link Prediction in Complex Networks: A Survey
Link prediction in complex networks has attracted increasing attention from
both physical and computer science communities. The algorithms can be used to
extract missing information, identify spurious interactions, evaluate network
evolving mechanisms, and so on. This article summaries recent progress about
link prediction algorithms, emphasizing on the contributions from physical
perspectives and approaches, such as the random-walk-based methods and the
maximum likelihood methods. We also introduce three typical applications:
reconstruction of networks, evaluation of network evolving mechanism and
classification of partially labelled networks. Finally, we introduce some
applications and outline future challenges of link prediction algorithms.Comment: 44 pages, 5 figure
