Clustering Of Search Trajectory And Its Application To Parameter Tuning, Linda Lindawati, Hoong Chuin Lau, David Lo Jun 2014

Clustering Of Search Trajectory And Its Application To Parameter Tuning, Linda Lindawati, Hoong Chuin Lau, David Lo

David LO

This paper is concerned with automated classification of Combinatorial Optimization Problem instances for instance-specific parameter tuning purpose. We propose the CluPaTra Framework, a generic approach to CLUster instances based on similar PAtterns according to search TRAjectories and apply it on parameter tuning. The key idea is to use the search trajectory as a generic feature for clustering problem instances. The advantage of using search trajectory is that it can be obtained from any local-search based algorithm with small additional computation time. We explore and compare two different search trajectory representations, two sequence alignment techniques (to calculate similarities) as well as …


Non-Redundant Sequential Rules,Theory And Algorithm, David Lo, Siau-Cheng Khoo, Limsoon Wong Nov 2011

Non-Redundant Sequential Rules,Theory And Algorithm, David Lo, Siau-Cheng Khoo, Limsoon Wong

David LO

A sequential rule expresses a relationship between two series of events happening one after another. Sequential rules are potentially useful for analyzing data in sequential format, ranging from purchase histories, network logs and program execution traces. In this work, we investigate and propose a syntactic characterization of a non-redundant set of sequential rules built upon past work on compact set of representative patterns. A rule is redundant if it can be inferred from another rule having the same support and confidence. When using the set of mined rules as a composite filter, replacing a full set of rules with a …


Efficient Mining Of Recurrent Rules From A Sequence Database, David Lo, Siau-Cheng Khoo, Chao Liu Nov 2011

Efficient Mining Of Recurrent Rules From A Sequence Database, David Lo, Siau-Cheng Khoo, Chao Liu

David LO

We study a novel problem of mining significant recurrent rules from a sequence database. Recurrent rules have the form "whenever a series of precedent events occurs, eventually a series of consequent events occurs". Recurrent rules are intuitive and characterize behaviors in many domains. An example is in the domain of software specifications, in which the rules capture a family of program properties beneficial to program verification and bug detection. Recurrent rules generalize existing work on sequential and episode rules by considering repeated occurrences of premise and consequent events within a sequence and across multiple sequences, and by removing the "window" …


Lm: A Miner For Scenario-Based Specifications, Tuan Anh Doan, David Lo, Shahar Maoz, Siau-Cheng Khoo Nov 2011

Lm: A Miner For Scenario-Based Specifications, Tuan Anh Doan, David Lo, Shahar Maoz, Siau-Cheng Khoo

David LO

We present LM, a tool for mining scenario-based specifications in the form of Live Sequence Charts, a visual language that extends sequence diagrams with modalities. LM comes with a project management component, a wizard-like interface to the mining algorithm, a set of pre- and postprocessing extensions, and a visualization module.
