Group tendency is a research branch of computer assisted learning. The construction of good learning behavior is of great significance to learners' learning process and learning effect, and is the key basis of data-driven education…
In this paper, we describe data mining techniques used to extract frequent learning pathways from a large educational dataset. These pathways were extracted as a directed graph that encoded student learning processes. Our dataset contains…
The analysis of remote discussions is not yet at the same level as the face-to-face ones. The present paper aspires twofold. On the one hand, it attempts to establish a suitable environment of interaction and collaboration among learners by…
The need to increase accuracy in detecting sophisticated cyber attacks poses a great challenge not only to the research community but also to corporations. So far, many approaches have been proposed to cope with this threat. Among them,…
The paper focuses on mining patterns that are characterized by a fuzzy lagged relationship between the data objects forming them. Such a regulatory mechanism is quite common in real life settings. It appears in a variety of fields: finance,…
Programming errors that degrade the performance of systems are widespread, yet there is little tool support for analyzing these bugs. We present a method based on differential performance analysis---we find inputs for which the performance…
A task of clustering data given in the ordinal scale under conditions of overlapping clusters has been considered. It's proposed to use an approach based on memberhsip and likelihood functions sharing. A number of performed experiments…

In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy clustering algorithm based on the mode-seeking framework. Given a dataset in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we define regions of high density that we call cluster cores. We then consider a random walk on a…
Clustering is an efficient and essential technique for exploring latent knowledge of data. However, limited attention has been given to the interpretability of the clusters detected by most clustering algorithms. In addition, due to the…
Cluster algorithms are increasingly popular in biomedical research due to their compelling ability to identify discrete subgroups in data, and their increasing accessibility in mainstream software. While guidelines exist for algorithm…
This paper presents a new fuzzy k-means algorithm for the clustering of high-dimensional data in various subspaces. Since high-dimensional data, some features might be irrelevant and relevant but may have different significance in the…
Clustering large, mixed data is a central problem in data mining. Many approaches adopt the idea of k-means, and hence are sensitive to initialisation, detect only spherical clusters, and require a priori the unknown number of clusters. We…
One of the most vital activities to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks is clustering. In clustering, one node from a group of nodes is selected to be a cluster head, which handles majority of the computation and…
