Space-time Interest Points

by Ivan Laptev, Tony Lindeberg - IN ICCV , 2003
"... Local image features or interest points provide compact and abstract representations of patterns in an image. In this paper, we propose to extend the notion of spatial interest points into the spatio-temporal domain and show how the resulting features often reflect interesting events that can be use ..."

Data Security

by Dorothy E. Denning, Peter J. Denning , 1979
"... The rising abuse of computers and increasing threat to personal privacy through data banks have stimulated much interest m the techmcal safeguards for data. There are four kinds of safeguards, each related to but distract from the others. Access controls regulate which users may enter the system and ..."

Implementing data cubes efficiently

by Venky Harinarayan, Anand Rajaraman, Jeffrey D. Ulman - In SIGMOD , 1996
"... Decision support applications involve complex queries on very large databases. Since response times should be small, query optimization is critical. Users typically view the data as multidimensional data cubes. Each cell of the data cube is a view consisting of an aggregation of interest, like total ..."

Data Integration: A Theoretical Perspective

by Maurizio Lenzerini - Symposium on Principles of Database Systems , 2002
"... Data integration is the problem of combining data residing at different sources, and providing the user with a unified view of these data. The problem of designing data integration systems is important in current real world applications, and is characterized by a number of issues that are interestin ..."

The tutorial is focused on some of the theoretical issues that are relevant for data integration. Special attention will be devoted to the following aspects

Power-law distributions in empirical data

by Aaron Clauset, Cosma Rohilla Shalizi, M. E. J. Newman - ISSN 00361445. doi: 10.1137/ 070710111. URL http://dx.doi.org/10.1137/070710111 , 2009
"... Power-law distributions occur in many situations of scientific interest and have significant consequences for our understanding of natural and man-made phenomena. Unfortunately, the empirical detection and characterization of power laws is made difficult by the large fluctuations that occur in the t ..."

Efficient and Effective Clustering Methods for Spatial Data Mining

by Raymond T. Ng, Jiawei Han , 1994
"... Spatial data mining is the discovery of interesting relationships and characteristics that may exist implicitly in spatial databases. In this paper, we explore whether clustering methods have a role to play in spatial data mining. To this end, we develop a new clustering method called CLARANS which ..."

Data Mining: An Overview from Database Perspective

by Ming-syan Chen, Jiawei Hun, Philip S. Yu - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING , 1996
"... Mining information and knowledge from large databases has been recognized by many researchers as a key research topic in database systems and machine learning, and by many industrial companies as an important area with an opportunity of major revenues. Researchers in many different fields have sh ..."

shown great interest in data mining. Several emerging applications in information providing services, such as data warehousing and on-line services over the Internet, also call for various data mining techniques to better understand user behavior, to improve the service provided, and to increase

CURE: An Efficient Clustering Algorithm for Large Data sets

by Sudipto Guha, Rajeev Rastogi, Kyuseok Shim - Published in the Proceedings of the ACM SIGMOD Conference , 1998
"... Clustering, in data mining, is useful for discovering groups and identifying interesting distributions in the underlying data. Traditional clustering algorithms either favor clusters with spherical shapes and similar sizes, or are very fragile in the presence of outliers. We propose a new clustering ..."

Behavior recognition via sparse spatio-temporal features

by Piotr Dollár, Vincent Rabaud, Garrison Cottrell, Serge Belongie - In VS-PETS , 2005
"... A common trend in object recognition is to detect and leverage the use of sparse, informative feature points. The use of such features makes the problem more manageable while providing increased robustness to noise and pose variation. In this work we develop an extension of these ideas to the spatio ..."

to the spatio-temporal case. For this purpose, we show that the direct 3D counterparts to commonly used 2D interest point detectors are inadequate, and we propose an alternative. Anchoring off of these interest points, we devise a recognition algorithm based on spatio-temporally windowed data. We present
