Question: It has been a long time, since data mining technologies have made their ways to the field of data management. Classification is one of the most important data mining tasks for label prediction, categorization of objects into groups, advertisement and data management. In this paper, we focus on the standard classification problem which is predicting unknown labels in Euclidean space. Most efforts in Machine Learning communities are devoted to methods that use probabilistic algorithms which are heavy on Calculus and Linear Algebra. Most of these techniques have scalability issues for big data, and are hardly parallelizable if they are to maintain their high accuracies in their standard form. Sampling is a new direction for improving scalability, using many small parallel classifiers. In this paper, rather than conventional sampling methods, we focus on a discrete classification algorithm with O(n) expected running time. Our approach performs a similar task as sampling methods. However, we use column-wise sampling of data, rather than the row-wise sampling used in the literature. In either case, our algorithm is completely deterministic. Our algorithm, proposes a way of combining 2D convex hulls in order to achieve high classification accuracy as well as scalability in the same time. First, we thoroughly describe and prove our O(n) algorithm for finding the convex hull of a point set in 2D. Then, we show with experiments our classifier model built based on this idea is very competitive compared with existing sophisticated classification algorithms included in commercial statistical applications such as MATLAB.

Question: Detecting a small number of outliers from a set of data observations is always challenging. This problem is more difficult in the setting of multiple network samples, where computing the anomalous degree of a network sample is generally not sufficient. In fact, explaining why the network is exceptional, expressed in the form of subnetwork, is also equally important. In this paper, we develop a novel algorithm to address these two key problems. We treat each network sample as a potential outlier and identify subnetworks that mostly discriminate it from nearby regular samples. The algorithm is developed in the framework of network regression combined with the constraints on both network topology and L1-norm shrinkage to perform subnetwork discovery. Our method thus goes beyond subspace /subgraph discovery and we show that it converges to a global optimum. Evaluation on various real-world network datasets demonstrates that our algorithm not only outperforms baselines in both network and high dimensional setting, but also discovers highly relevant and interpretable local subnetworks, further enhancing our understanding of anomalous networks.

Question: In typical neural machine translation (NMT), the decoder generates a sentence word by word, packing all linguistic granularities in the same timescale of RNN. In this paper, we propose a new type of decoder for NMT, which splits the decode state into two parts and updates them in two different time-scales. Specifically, we first predict a chunk time-scale state for phrasal modeling, on top of which multiple word time-scale states are generated. In this way, the target sentence is translated hierarchically from chunks to words, with information in different granularities being leveraged. Experiments show that our proposed model significantly improves the translation performance over the state-of-the-art NMT model.
