Due to the fast-growing volume of text documents and reviews in recent years, current analyzing techniques are not competent enough to meet the users' needs. Using feature selection techniques not only support to understand data better but…
This paper investigates the problem of selecting variables in regression-type models for an "instrumental" setting. Our study is motivated by empirically verifying the conditional convergence hypothesis used in the economical literature…
In the research field of big data, one of important issues is how to recover the sequentially changing sets of true features when the data sets arrive sequentially. The paper presents a general framework for online updating variable…
Selecting a subset of the $k$ "best" items from a dataset of $n$ items, based on a scoring function, is a key task in decision-making. Given the rise of automated decision-making software, it is important that the outcome of this process,…
The rapid growth of emerging information technologies and application patterns in modern society, e.g., Internet, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing and Tri-network Convergence, has caused the advent of the era of big data. Big data…
We study the problem of discovering joinable datasets at scale. This is, how to automatically discover pairs of attributes in a massive collection of independent, heterogeneous datasets that can be joined. Exact (e.g., based on distinct…
We introduce a new method of performing high dimensional discriminant analysis, which we call multiDA. We achieve this by constructing a hybrid model that seamlessly integrates a multiclass diagonal discriminant analysis model and feature…
In-situ processing has been proposed as a novel data exploration solution in many domains generating massive amounts of raw data, e.g., astronomy, since it provides immediate SQL querying over raw files. The performance of in-situ…
We study the fundamental problem of selecting optimal features for model construction. This problem is computationally challenging on large datasets, even with the use of greedy algorithm variants. To address this challenge, we extend the…
Usage data of a group of users distributed across a number of categories, such as songs, movies, webpages, links, regular household products, mobile apps, games, etc. can be ultra-high dimensional and massive in size. More often this kind…
Active Search has become an increasingly useful tool in information retrieval problems where the goal is to discover as many target elements as possible using only limited label queries. With the advent of big data, there is a growing…
In this paper, a new feature selection algorithm, called SFE (Simple, Fast, and Efficient), is proposed for high-dimensional datasets. The SFE algorithm performs its search process using a search agent and two operators: non-selection and…
Classification in the dissimilarity space has become a very active research area since it provides a possibility to learn from data given in the form of pairwise non-metric dissimilarities, which otherwise would be difficult to cope with.…
Modern data workflows are inherently adaptive, repeatedly querying the same dataset to refine and validate sequential decisions, but such adaptivity can lead to overfitting and invalid statistical inference. Adaptive Data Analysis (ADA)…
Streaming feature selection techniques have become essential in processing real-time data streams, as they facilitate the identification of the most relevant attributes from continuously updating information. Despite their performance,…
Accumulation of standardized data collections is opening up novel opportunities for holistic characterization of genome function. The limited scalability of current preprocessing techniques has, however, formed a bottleneck for full…
Choosing which properties of the data to use as input to multivariate decision algorithms -- a.k.a. feature selection -- is an important step in solving any problem with machine learning. While there is a clear trend towards training…
Given a set of data, biclustering aims at finding simultaneous partitions in biclusters of its samples and of the features which are used for representing the samples. Consistent biclusterings allow to obtain correct classifications of the…
In this paper we address the problem of feature selection when the data is functional, we study several statistical procedures including classification, regression and principal components. One advantage of the blinding procedure is that it…
Data analysis plays an indispensable role for value creation in industry. Cluster analysis in this context is able to explore given datasets with little or no prior knowledge and to identify unknown patterns. As (big) data complexity…
