Summary

In our rapidly advancing digital age, we continuously generate a staggering amount of data spanning across various sectors such as healthcare, finance, marketing, education, and government. The advent of big data has yielded both opportunities and challenges, positioning data mining at the core of deriving valuable insights and facilitating data-driven decisions. With its intricate algorithms, data mining has the capability of revealing essential patterns, associations, and knowledge hidden within large and complex datasets. Nevertheless, these extracted insights often necessitate sophisticated computational intelligence techniques to interpret and understand. Techniques like artificial neural systems, swarm intelligence, and evolutionary programming, among others, have become vital in deciphering the knowledge unveiled by data mining and optimizing its algorithms for efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, in our interconnected world, data security holds paramount importance. Data mining, which often involves accessing and analyzing sensitive information, presents numerous challenges relating to information security, such as data privacy, cryptography, secure data sharing, and system integrity. The development of robust solutions to tackle these issues is an ongoing endeavor in the realm of data mining.

    Attribute Reduction on Decision Tables Based on Hausdorff Topology

    Nguyen Long Giang, Tran Thanh Dai, Le Hoang Son, Tran Thi Ngan, Nguyen Nhu Son, Cu Nguyen Giap
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.81, No.2, pp. 3097-3124, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.057383

    Abstract Attribute reduction through the combined approach of Rough Sets (RS) and algebraic topology is an open research topic with significant potential for applications. Several research works have introduced a strong relationship between RS and topology spaces for the attribute reduction problem. However, the mentioned recent methods followed a strategy to construct a new measure for attribute selection. Meanwhile, the strategy for searching for the reduct is still to select each attribute and gradually add it to the reduct. Consequently, those methods tended to be inefficient for high-dimensional datasets. To overcome these challenges, we use the… More >

    Enhancing Log Anomaly Detection with Semantic Embedding and Integrated Neural Network Innovations

    Zhanyang Xu, Zhe Wang, Jian Xu, Hongyan Shi, Hong Zhao
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.3, pp. 3991-4015, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.051620

    Abstract System logs, serving as a pivotal data source for performance monitoring and anomaly detection, play an indispensable role in assuring service stability and reliability. Despite this, the majority of existing log-based anomaly detection methodologies predominantly depend on the sequence or quantity attributes of logs, utilizing solely a single Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and its variant sequence models for detection. These approaches have not thoroughly exploited the semantic information embedded in logs, exhibit limited adaptability to novel logs, and a single model struggles to fully unearth the potential features within the log sequence. Addressing these challenges,… More >

    A Shared Natural Neighbors Based-Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm for Discovering Arbitrary-Shaped Clusters

    Zhongshang Chen, Ji Feng, Fapeng Cai, Degang Yang
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.2, pp. 2031-2048, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.052114
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advanced Data Mining Techniques: Security, Intelligent Systems and Applications)
    Abstract In clustering algorithms, the selection of neighbors significantly affects the quality of the final clustering results. While various neighbor relationships exist, such as K-nearest neighbors, natural neighbors, and shared neighbors, most neighbor relationships can only handle single structural relationships, and the identification accuracy is low for datasets with multiple structures. In life, people’s first instinct for complex things is to divide them into multiple parts to complete. Partitioning the dataset into more sub-graphs is a good idea approach to identifying complex structures. Taking inspiration from this, we propose a novel neighbor method: Shared Natural Neighbors (SNaN). More >

    Abstract Speech emotion recognition (SER) uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions. The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high, so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system. The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy. First, we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals. Then, we employ a multi-objective ranking method… More >

    Abstract The process control-oriented threat, which can exploit OT (Operational Technology) vulnerabilities to forcibly insert abnormal control commands or status information, has become one of the most devastating cyber attacks in industrial automation control. To effectively detect this threat, this paper proposes one functional pattern-related anomaly detection approach, which skillfully collaborates the BinSeg (Binary Segmentation) algorithm with FSM (Finite State Machine) to identify anomalies between measuring data and control data. By detecting the change points of measuring data, the BinSeg algorithm is introduced to generate some initial sequence segments, which can be further classified and merged… More >
