Recipe Suggestion Tool, Sakuntala Padmapriya Gangaraju

Master's Projects

ABSTRACT
There is currently a great need for a tool to search cooking recipes based on ingredients. Current search engines do not provide this feature. Most of the recipe search results in current websites are not efficiently clustered based on relevance or categories resulting in a user getting lost in the huge search results presented.
Clustering in information retrieval is used for higher efficiency and better presentation of information to the user. Clustering puts similar documents in the same cluster. If a document is relevant to a query, then the documents in the same cluster are also relevant.
The goal …


Association Rule Mining -- Geometry And Parallel Computing Approach, Dongyi Jia Apr 2011

Association Rule Mining -- Geometry And Parallel Computing Approach, Dongyi Jia

Master's Projects

Mining association rules is a very important aspect in data mining fields. The process to mine association rules not only take much time, but also take huge computing source. How to fast and efficiently find the large itemsets is a crucial point in the association rule algorithms. This paper will focus on two algorithms research and implementation in parallel computing environments. One is Bitmap Combination algorithm, the other is Bitmap FP-Growth algorithm. Compared to Apriori algorithm, both Bitmap Combination and Bitmap FP-Growth algorithms don’t need generate candidate items, avoids costly database scans. Both algorithms need to translate the original database …

Smart Search: A Firefox Add-On To Compute A Web Traffic Ranking, Vijaya Pamidi

Master's Projects

Search engines results are typically ordered according to some notion of importance of a web page as well as relevance of the content of a web page to a query. Web page importance is usually calculated based on some graph theoretic properties of the web. Another common technique to measure page importance is to make use of the traffic that goes to a particular web page as measured by a browser toolbar. Currently, there are some traffic ranking tools available like www.alexa.com, www.ranking.com, www.compete.com that give such analytic as to the number of users who visit a web site. Alexa …

Master's Projects

Mobile devices such as smart phones, the iPhone, and the iPad have become more popular in recent years. With access to the Internet through cellular or WIFI networks, these mobile devices can make use of the great source of information available on the Internet. Unlike a desktop or laptop computer, an Internet enabled mobile device is designed to be carried around and available to the owner almost instantly at any moment of the day. Despite having such great advantage and potential, searching for information with a mobile device remains a difficult task. Mobile device users have to juggle between different …
