Compatibility Of Clique Clustering Algorithm With Dimensionality Reduction, Ug ̆Ur Madran, Duygu Soyog ̆Lu

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In our previous work, we introduced a clustering algorithm based on clique formation. Cliques, the obtained clusters, are constructed by choosing the most dense complete subgraphs by using similarity values between instances. The clique algorithm successfully reduces the number of instances in a data set without substantially changing the accuracy rate. In this current work, we focused on reducing the number of features. For this purpose, the effect of the clique clustering algorithm on dimensionality reduction has been analyzed. We propose a novel algorithm for support vector machine classification by combining these two techniques and applying different strategies by differentiating …

Hybrid Deep Neural Networks For Mining Heterogeneous Data, Xiurui Hou

Dissertations

In the era of big data, the rapidly growing flood of data represents an immense opportunity. New computational methods are desired to fully leverage the potential that exists within massive structured and unstructured data. However, decision-makers are often confronted with multiple diverse heterogeneous data sources. The heterogeneity includes different data types, different granularities, and different dimensions, posing a fundamental challenge in many applications. This dissertation focuses on designing hybrid deep neural networks for modeling various kinds of data heterogeneity.

The first part of this dissertation concerns modeling diverse data types, the first kind of data heterogeneity. Specifically, image data and …
