Knowledge discovery in databases: An overview
Authors: Usama Fayyad
Venue: Relational Data Mining (2001)

Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) promise to play an important role in the way people interact with databases, especially decision support databases where analysis and exploration operations are essential. Inductive logic programming can potentially play some key roles in KDD. We define the basic notions in data mining and KDD, define the goals, present motivation, and give a high-level definition of the KDD Process and how it relates to Data Mining. We then focus on data mining methods. Basic coverage of a sampling of methods will be provided to illustrate the methods and how they are used. We cover two case studies of successful applications in science data analysis, one of which is the classification of cataloging of a major astronomy sky survey covering 2 billion objects in the northern sky. The system can outperform human as well as classical computational analysis tools in astronomy on the task of recognizing faint stars and galaxies. We conclude with a listing of research challenges and we outline the areas where ILP could play some important roles in KDD.
Out There: One Man's Search for the Funniest Person on the Internet
Authors: Henry Alford
Venue:  (2001)

:The Internet has unleashed legions of critics, gurus, experts, and sociopaths-in-training. Which one of these lovable folks will win the title of "funniest"? Will it be the unhappy fan who writes to Charlton Heston ("Chuck, you must have enough money to buy a quality hair-piece") or to Klaus Kinski ("I am a malcontented lickspittle!")? Will it be the ordained rabbi who is a zealous spokesman for firearms ("the Remington 870 Police [18" or 20" barrel] can't be beat for quality and dollar value") or the Jesus-loving film reviewer who monitors movies for non-Christian content ("Angels were portrayed as nude--very nude--females")? Will it be one of the Internet's ever-burgeoning community of sneeze fetishists? Or will it be someone you may have already heard of -- the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Virginia senator John Warner, jazz musician Pat Metheny, or Koko the Gorilla? Join Henry Alford as he navigates the wild world of online personalities. Just when you think you've seen it all on the World Wide Web, Henry Alford shows us what's really out there.

Pal: a new fossil collector for time warp
Authors: Voon-Yee Vee, Wen-Jing Hsu
Venue: Proceedings of the sixteenth workshop on Parallel and distributed simulation (2002)

Fossil collection plays an important role in managing the memory utilization in parallel simulations with Time Warp. We describe a novel fossil collection method that incurs low overhead in reclaiming memory buffers occupied by processed events. The time complexities of the existing and the proposed methods are analyzed and presented. We have also tested the methods with a number of real-world and synthetic workload simulations, and confirmed that the proposed method indeed incurs lower overhead than the existing methods in most cases.
Caching trust rather than content
Authors: M. Satyanarayanan
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

Caching, one of the oldest ideas in computer science, often improves performance and sometimes improves availability [1, 3]. Previous uses of caching have focused on data content. It is the presence of a local copy of data that reduces access latency and masks server or network failures. This position paper puts forth the idea that it can sometimes be useful to merely cache knowledge sufficient to recognize valid data. In other words, we do not have a local copy of a data item, but possess a substitute that allows us to verify the content of that item if it is offered to us by an untrusted source. We refer to this concept as caching trust.Mobile computing is a champion application domain for this concept. Wearable and handheld computers are constantly under pressure to be smaller and lighter. However, the potential volume of data that is accessible to such devices over a wireless network keeps growing. Something has to give. In this case, it is the assumption that all data of potential interest can be hoarded on the mobile client [1, 2, 6]. In other words, such clients have to be prepared to cope with cache misses during normal use. If they are able to cache trust, then any untrusted site in the fixed infrastructure can be used to stage data for servicing cache misses --- one does not have to go back to a distant server, nor does one have to compromise security. The following scenario explores this in more detail.

Finding Double Euler Trails of Planar Graphs in Linear Time
Authors: Zhi-Zhong Chen, Xin He, Chun-Hsi Huang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

This paper answers an open question in the design of complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor VLSI circuits. The question asks whether a polynomial-time algorithm can decide if a given planar graph has a plane embedding ${\cal E}$ such that ${\cal E}$ has an Euler trail P = e1 e2 ... em and its dual graph has an Euler trail $P^*=e^*_1 e^*_2 \ldots e^*_m$, where $e^*_i$ is the dual edge of ei for i=1,2,...,m. This paper answers this question in the affirmative by presenting a linear-time algorithm.

An $\epsilon$-Relaxation Method for Separable Convex Cost Network Flow Problems
Authors: Dimitri P. Bertsekas, Lazaros C. Polymenakos, Paul Tseng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

We propose a new method for the solution of the single commodity, separable convex cost network flow problem. The method generalizes the $\epsilon$-relaxation method developed for linear cost problems and reduces to that method when applied to linear cost problems. We show that the method terminates with a near optimal solution, and we provide an associated complexity analysis. We also present computational results showing that the method is much faster than earlier relaxation methods, particularly for ill-conditioned problems.
Interacting with the GALATEA film analysis system
Authors: M. J. Potel, R. E. Sayre
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1976)

GALATEA is an interactive animated graphics system providing a tool for the man-machine analysis of moving images recorded on film. The system relies on the user's recognition of phenomena of interest and his manipulation of simple graphical objects to build up a kinegram, an animated representationof the film. Display of the kinegram superimposed on the original film facilitates the entry and refinement of the animation. The net result is an analysis by synthesis. In this paper we describe the current production version of GALATEA from the standpoint of the user. Included are a functional description of the constituent hardware, demonstration of various aspects of system behavior, and some examples of interactions common in user applications.

Extension of APL primitive functions to the complex domain
Authors: Paul Penfield,  Jr.
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1977)

Many APL primitive functions can be extended to the domain of complex numbers. In some cases the generalizations are not straightforward, and two or more design choices are considered. This paper is intended to stimulate a discussion in the APL community of the possible design choices before the first implementation of complex APL renders such a discussion academic. This paper is the second in a series of three papers; the first was reference [1].
The Internet Weather: Balancing Continuous Change and Constant Truths, 1st edition
Authors: James W. Moore
Venue:  (2002)

:"What will work be like in the future? Futurists often try to answer this question by looking at the effects of the Internet and technology, examining how they have changed our personal and professional lives." In The Internet Weather, instead of studying all the changes occurring in our world, James Moore looks at all the things that will stay the same. Technology may lead us to more rapid communication, more voluminous information, and a world without the privacy we've come to expect, but it will also force us to think in new ways about old values. Most likely, argues Moore, we will not abandon age-old ideals for new ones, but reorganize human society around the same old ideals we've always held, accommodating and incorporating new technologies into new ways of living under the same, long-held beliefs.

Gravity based spatial clustering
Authors: M. Indulska, M. E. Orlowska
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM international symposium on Advances in geographic information systems (2002)

In this paper we examine recent work in the area of spatial clustering with obstacles [14, 13] and present a discussion of several identified drawbacks. We propose an algorithm, called GRAVIclust, which addresses the identified problems. The algorithm uses a heuristic to pick the initial cluster centres and utilises centre of cluster gravity calculations in order to arrive at the optimal clustering solution. We show that the proposed algorithm not only calculates better initial cluster centres than those calculated in [13] but also that with each iteration of the algorithm we get closer to the optimal clustering solution (as indicated by the converging distance function) as opposed to the randomised results offered by [13].

Basic components of the DIJA project
Authors: Frederic Danesi, Laurent Denis, Yvon Gardan, Estelle Perrin
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

Our goal is to define and implement a web-based CAD System. Distributing a CAD system over the World Wide Web implies that this system has not any knowledge about its user (his computer and CAD skills, his trade, etc.). Thus, this system has to be adapted to each possible user: from neophyte to CAD system expert. Actual CAD systems have complex computer-human interfaces, which are an obstacle to the modeling task for a non-expert end-user. As our aim is to provide a novice end-user with an easy-to-use CAD system, we are interested in providing a more intuitive interface than a classical one. CAD systems propose interfaces based on constructive modeling methods. Creating geometry using these modeling methods, based for example on Constructive Solid Geometry, parametric models or features based modeling, is a very difficult task for somebody who has never used a CAD system. We present in this paper our approach (called synthetic method by opposition to constructive methods) which overcomes this main difficulty by reversing the modeling process. The general idea of our modeling method is that the user chooses an initial crude shape according to the correct object topology. This choice can be done by choosing an existing object or by giving either a functional description or a rough sketch. The chosen shape will be the basis of the modeling task. The user can deform this initial shape by using specific and intuitive dedicated tools, based on surface deformation and on free-form deformation techniques (FFD). This paper deals with the synthetic method concept, its implementation in a dedicated CAD system called DIJA and the improved boundary representation, which is used as geometric model and contains both the visualization model and the dialog model.

On the approximation of the minimum disturbance p-facility location problem
Authors: Giulia Galbiati
Venue: Discrete Applied Mathematics (2002)

An n &#x00D7; m non-negative integer matrix D= {dij} is given, representing the disturbance that customer i receives by a facility at location j. We consider the problem of finding p facilities so that the maximum, over the n customers, of the sums of their disturbances is minimized. We show that this problem can be deterministically approximated within O(&#x03C1;(logn + log p)), where &#x03C1; is the ratio between the biggest and the smallest positive entry of D. We obtain this result by first taking a randomized rounding approach to the problem and then by derandomizing the algorithm by the method of conditional probabilities.
The impact of if-conversion and branch prediction on program execution on the Intel&reg; Itanium&trade; processor
Authors: Youngsoo Choi, Allan Knies, Luke Gerke, Tin-Fook Ngai
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

The research community has studied if-conversion for many years. However, due to the lack of existing hardware, studies were conducted by simulating code generated by experimental compilers. This paper presents the first comprehensive study of the use of predication to implement if-conversion on production hardware with a near-production compiler. To better understand trends in the measurements, we generated binaries at three increasing levels of if-conversion aggressiveness. For each level, we gathered data regarding the global runtime effects of if-conversion on overall execution time, register pressure, code size, and branch behavior. Furthermore, we studied the inherent characteristics of program control-flow structure related to branching to help determine fundamental limits of if-conversion. Our results show that on the Itanium&trade; processor if-conversion could potentially remove 29% of the branch mispredictions in SPEC2OOOCINT but that this accounts for a substantially smaller overall program speedup than previously reported.

Descent iterations for improving approximate eigenpairs of polynomial eigenvalue problems with general complex matrices
Authors: K. Ishihara
Venue: Computing (2002)

In this paper, we consider descent iterations with line search for improving an approximate eigenvalue and a corresponding approximate eigenvector of polynomial eigenvalue problems with general complex matrices, where an approximate eigenpair was obtained by some method. The polynomial eigenvalue problem is written as a system of complex nonlinear equations with nondifferentiable normalized condition. Convergence theorems for iterations are established. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the iterative methods.
