Semisupervised learning from different information sources
This paper studies the use of a semisupervised learning algorithm from different information sources. We first offer a theoretical explanation as to why minimising the disagreement between individual models co...

Optimizing complex queries based on similarities of subqueries
As database technology is applied to more and more application domains, user queries are becoming increasingly complex (e.g. involving a large number of joins and a complex query structure). Query optimizers i...

A Mathematical Morphology Based Scale Space Method for the Mining of Linear Features in Geographic Data
This paper presents a spatial data mining method MCAMMO and its extension L_MCAMMO designed for discovering linear and near linear features in spatial databases. L_MCAMMO can be divided into two basic steps: f...

Article
Spatial Query Estimation without the Local Uniformity Assumption
Existing estimation approaches for spatial databases often rely on the assumption that data distribution in a small region is uniform, which seldom holds in practice. Moreover, their applicability is limited t...

Using discriminant analysis for multi-class classification: an experimental investigation
Many supervised machine learning tasks can be cast as multi-class classification problems. Support vector machines (SVMs) excel at binary classification problems, but the elegant theory behind large-margin hyp...

Multi-level Topological Relations Between Spatial Regions Based Upon Topological Invariants
Topological relations have played important roles in spatial query, analysis and reasoning. In a two-dimensional space (IR2), most existing topological models can distinguish the eight basic topological relations...

Article
Supervised tensor learning
Tensor representation is helpful to reduce the small sample size problem in discriminative subspace selection. As pointed by this paper, this is mainly because the structure information of objects in computer ...

Higher Order Vagueness in Geographical Information: Empirical Geographical Population of Type n Fuzzy Sets
Fuzzy set theory has been suggested as a means for representing vague spatial phenomena, and is widely known for directly addressing some of the issues of vagueness such as the sorites paradox. Higher order vague...

DECODE: a new method for discovering clusters of different densities in spatial data
When clusters with different densities and noise lie in a spatial point set, the major obstacle to classifying these data is the determination of the thresholds for classification, which may form a series of b...
