Banach Spaces as Data Types
We introduce the operators "modified limit" and "accumulation" on a Banach
space, and we use this to define what we mean by being internally computable
over the space. We prove that any externally computable function from a
computable metric space to a computable Banach space is internally computable.
We motivate the need for internal concepts of computability by observing that
the complexity of the set of finite sets of closed balls with a nonempty
intersection is not uniformly hyperarithmetical, and thus that approximating an
externally computable function is highly complex.Comment: 20 page
Interpretations of Association Rules by Granular Computing
We present interpretations for association rules. We first introduce Pawlak's method, and the corresponding algorithm of finding decision rules (a kind of association rules). We then use extended random sets to present a new algorithm of finding interesting rules. We prove that the new algorithm is faster than Pawlak's algorithm. The extended random sets are easily to include more than one criterion for determining interesting rules. We also provide two measures for dealing with uncertainties in association rules
A domain-theoretic investigation of posets of sub-sigma-algebras (extended abstract)
Given a measurable space (X, M) there is a (Galois) connection between
sub-sigma-algebras of M and equivalence relations on X. On the other hand
equivalence relations on X are closely related to congruences on stochastic
relations. In recent work, Doberkat has examined lattice properties of posets
of congruences on a stochastic relation and motivated a domain-theoretic
investigation of these ordered sets. Here we show that the posets of
sub-sigma-algebras of a measurable space do not enjoy desired domain-theoretic
properties and that our counterexamples can be applied to the set of smooth
equivalence relations on an analytic space, thus giving a rather unsatisfactory
answer to Doberkat's question
The descriptive set-theoretic complexity of the set of points of continuity of a multi-valued function (Extended Abstract)
In this article we treat a notion of continuity for a multi-valued function F
and we compute the descriptive set-theoretic complexity of the set of all x for
which F is continuous at x. We give conditions under which the latter set is
either a G_\delta set or the countable union of G_\delta sets. Also we provide
a counterexample which shows that the latter result is optimum under the same
conditions. Moreover we prove that those conditions are necessary in order to
obtain that the set of points of continuity of F is Borel i.e., we show that if
we drop some of the previous conditions then there is a multi-valued function F
whose graph is a Borel set and the set of points of continuity of F is not a
Borel set. Finally we give some analogue results regarding a stronger notion of
continuity for a multi-valued function. This article is motivated by a question
of M. Ziegler in "Real Computation with Least Discrete Advice: A Complexity

Computability, Noncomputability, and Hyperbolic Systems
In this paper we study the computability of the stable and unstable manifolds
of a hyperbolic equilibrium point. These manifolds are the essential feature
which characterizes a hyperbolic system. We show that (i) locally these
manifolds can be computed, but (ii) globally they cannot (though we prove they
are semi-computable). We also show that Smale's horseshoe, the first example of
a hyperbolic invariant set which is neither an equilibrium point nor a periodic
orbit, is computable
Effective pattern discovery for text mining
Many data mining techniques have been proposed for mining useful patterns in text documents. However, how to effectively use and update discovered patterns is still an open research issue, especially in the domain of text mining. Since most existing text mining methods adopted term-based approaches, they all suffer from the problems of polysemy and synonymy. Over the years, people have often held the hypothesis that pattern (or phrase) based approaches should perform better than the term-based ones, but many experiments did not support this hypothesis. This paper presents an innovative technique, effective pattern discovery which includes the processes of pattern deploying and pattern evolving, to improve the effectiveness of using and updating discovered patterns for finding relevant and interesting information. Substantial experiments on RCV1 data collection and TREC topics demonstrate that the proposed solution achieves encouraging performance
