Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems play a critical role in maintaining a comfortable thermal environment and cost approximately 40% of primary energy usage in the building sector. For smart energy management in buildings,…
Processing and analyzing time series data\-sets have become a central issue in many domains requiring data management systems to support time series as a native data type. A crucial prerequisite of these systems is time series matching,…
Dynamic model reduction in power systems is necessary for improving computational efficiency. Traditional model reduction using linearized models or online analysis is not adequate to capture dynamic behaviors of the power system,…
Symbolic Data Analysis is based on special descriptions of data - symbolic objects (SO). Such descriptions preserve more detailed information about units and their clusters than the usual representations with mean values. A special kind of…
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for text classification based on clustering word embeddings, inspired by the bag of visual words model, which is widely used in computer vision. After each word in a collection of documents is…
Energy consumption analysis plays a pivotal role in addressing the challenges of sustainability and resource management. This paper introduces a novel approach to effectively cluster monthly energy consumption patterns by integrating two…
In tropical countries with high humidity, air conditioning can account for up to 60% of a building's energy use. For commercial buildings with centralized systems, the efficiency of the chiller plant is vital, and model predictive control…
Considering that words with different characteristic in the text have different importance for classification, grouping them together separately can strengthen the semantic expression of each part. Thus we propose a new text representation…
Clustering algorithms are among the most widely used data mining methods due to their exploratory power and being an initial preprocessing step that paves the way for other techniques. But the problem of calculating the optimal number of…
Nowadays, document clustering is considered as a data intensive task due to the dramatic, fast increase in the number of available documents. Nevertheless, the features that represent those documents are also too large. The most common…
Document clustering is a traditional, efficient and yet quite effective, text mining technique when we need to get a better insight of the documents of a collection that could be grouped together. The K-Means algorithm and the Hierarchical…
Due to the importance of the lower bounding distances and the attractiveness of symbolic representations, the family of symbolic aggregate approximations (SAX) has been used extensively for encoding time series data. However, typical…
In the current digital age, the volume of data generated by various cyber activities has become enormous and is constantly increasing. The data may contain valuable insights that can be harnessed to improve cyber security measures. However,…
Supervised classification can be effective for prediction but sometimes weak on interpretability or explainability (XAI). Clustering, on the other hand, tends to isolate categories or profiles that can be meaningful but there is no…
This paper deals with symbolic time series representation. It builds up on the popular mapping technique Symbolic Aggregate approXimation algorithm (SAX), which is extensively utilized in sequence classification, pattern mining, anomaly…
How to find a natural grouping of a large real data set? Clustering requires a balance between abstraction and representation. To identify clusters, we need to abstract from superfluous details of individual objects. But we also need a rich…
Word sense induction (WSI) is a difficult problem in natural language processing that involves the unsupervised automatic detection of a word's senses (i.e. meanings). Recent work achieves significant results on the WSI task by pre-training…
Models of bags of words typically assume topic mixing so that the words in a single bag come from a limited number of topics. We show here that many sets of bag of words exhibit a very different pattern of variation than the patterns that…
This paper describes a method for clustering data that are spread out over large regions and which dimensions are on different scales of measurement. Such an algorithm was developed to implement a robotics application consisting in sorting…
Realizing when a model is right for a wrong reason is not trivial and requires a significant effort by model developers. In some cases an input salience method, which highlights the most important parts of the input, may reveal problematic…
