A New Feature Selection Method Based On Class Association Rule, Sami A. Al-Dhaheri
A New Feature Selection Method Based On Class Association Rule, Sami A. Al-Dhaheri
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Feature selection is a key process for supervised learning algorithms. It involves discarding irrelevant attributes from the training dataset from which the models are derived. One of the vital feature selection approaches is Filtering, which often uses mathematical models to compute the relevance for each feature in the training dataset and then sorts the features into descending order based on their computed scores. However, most Filtering methods face several challenges including, but not limited to, merely considering feature-class correlation when defining a feature’s relevance; additionally, not recommending which subset of features to retain. Leaving this decision to the end-user may …
Reputation-Aware Trajectory-Based Data Mining In The Internet Of Things (Iot), Samia Tasnim
Reputation-Aware Trajectory-Based Data Mining In The Internet Of Things (Iot), Samia Tasnim
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Internet of Things (IoT) is a critically important technology for the acquisition of spatiotemporally dense data in diverse applications, ranging from environmental monitoring to surveillance systems. Such data helps us improve our transportation systems, monitor our air quality and the spread of diseases, respond to natural disasters, and a bevy of other applications. However, IoT sensor data is error-prone due to a number of reasons: sensors may be deployed in hazardous environments, may deplete their energy resources, have mechanical faults, or maybe become the targets of malicious attacks by adversaries. While previous research has attempted to improve the quality of …
Mining Temporal Activity Patterns On Social Media, Nikan Chavoshi
Mining Temporal Activity Patterns On Social Media, Nikan Chavoshi
Computer Science ETDs
Social media provide communication networks for their users to easily create and share content. Automated accounts, called bots, abuse these platforms by engaging in suspicious and/or illegal activities. Bots push spam content and participate in sponsored activities to expand their audience. The prevalence of bot accounts in social media can harm the usability of these platforms, and decrease the level of trustworthiness in them. The main goal of this dissertation is to show that temporal analysis facilitates detecting bots in social media. I introduce new bot detection techniques which exploit temporal information. Since automated accounts are controlled by computer programs, …
Hybrid Methods For Feature Selection, Iunniang Cheng
Hybrid Methods For Feature Selection, Iunniang Cheng
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Feature selection is one of the important data preprocessing steps in data mining. The feature selection problem involves finding a feature subset such that a classification model built only with this subset would have better predictive accuracy than model built with a complete set of features. In this study, we propose two hybrid methods for feature selection. The best features are selected through either the hybrid methods or existing feature selection methods. Next, the reduced dataset is used to build classification models using five classifiers. The classification accuracy was evaluated in terms of the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic …
