Graph-based approach for human action recognition using spatio-temporal features

Due to the exponential growth of the video data stored and uploaded in the Internet websites especially YouTube, an effective analysis of video actions has become very necessary. In this paper, we tackle the challenging problem of human action recognition in realistic video sequences. The proposed system combines the efficiency of the Bag-of-visual-Words strategy and the power of graphs for structural representation of features. It is built upon the commonly used Space–Time Interest Points (STIP) local features followed by a graph-based video representation which models the spatio-temporal relations among these features. The experiments are realized on two challenging datasets: Hollywood2 and UCF YouTube Action. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Incrementally building frequent closed itemset lattice

A concept lattice is an ordered structure between concepts. It is particularly effective in mining association rules. However, a concept lattice is not efficient for large databases because the lattice size increases with the number of transactions. Finding an efficient strategy for dynamically updating the lattice is an important issue for real-world applications, where new transactions are constantly inserted into databases. To build an efficient storage structure for mining association rules, this study proposes a method for building the initial frequent closed itemset lattice from the original database. The lattice is updated when new transactions are inserted. The number of database rescans over the entire database is reduced in the maintenance process. The proposed algorithm is compared with building a lattice in batch mode to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

String analysis by sliding positioning strategy

Discovering frequent factors from long strings is an important problem in many applications, such as biosequence mining. In classical approaches, the algorithms process a vast database of small strings. However, in this paper we analyze a small database of long strings. The main difference resides in the high number of patterns to analyze. To tackle the problem, we have developed a new algorithm for discovering frequent factors in long strings. We present an Apriori-like solution which exploits the fact that any super-pattern of a non-frequent pattern cannot be frequent. The SANSPOS algorithm does a multiple-pass, candidate generation and test approach. Multiple length patterns can be generated in a pass. This algorithm uses a new data structure to arrange nodes in a trie. A Positioning Matrix is defined as a new positioning strategy. By using Positioning Matrices, we can apply advanced prune heuristics in a trie with a minimal computational cost. The Positioning Matrices let us process strings including Short Tandem Repeats and calculate different interestingness measures efficiently. Furthermore, in our algorithm we apply parallelism to transverse different sections of the input strings concurrently, speeding up the resulting running time. The algorithm has been successfully used in natural language and biological sequence contexts.

Maintaining frequent closed itemsets over a sliding window

In this paper, we study the incremental update of Frequent Closed Itemsets (FCIs) over a sliding window in a high-speed data stream. We propose the notion of semi-FCIs, which is to progressively increase the minimum support threshold for an itemset as it is retained longer in the window, thereby drastically reducing the number of itemsets that need to be maintained and processed. We explore the properties of semi-FCIs and observe that a majority of the subsets of a semi-FCI are not semi-FCIs and need not be updated. This finding allows us to devise an efficient algorithm, IncMine, that incrementally updates the set of semi-FCIs over a sliding window. We also develop an inverted index to facilitate the update process. Our empirical results show that IncMine achieves significantly higher throughput and consumes less memory than the state-of-the-art streaming algorithms for mining FCIs and FIs. IncMine also attains high accuracy of 100% precision and over 93% recall.

Efficient mining of frequent episodes from complex sequences

Discovering patterns with great significance is an important problem in data mining discipline. An episode is defined to be a partially ordered set of events for consecutive and fixed-time intervals in a sequence. Most of previous studies on episodes consider only frequent episodes in a sequence of events (called simple sequence). In real world, we may find a set of events at each time slot in terms of various intervals (hours, days, weeks, etc.). We refer to such sequences as complex sequences. Mining frequent episodes in complex sequences has more extensive applications than that in simple sequences. In this paper, we discuss the problem on mining frequent episodes in a complex sequence. We extend previous algorithm MINEPI to MINEPI+$\mathrm{MINEPI}+$ for episode mining from complex sequences. Furthermore, a memory-anchored algorithm called EMMA is introduced for the mining task. Experimental evaluation on both real-world and synthetic data sets shows that EMMA is more efficient than MINEPI+$\mathrm{MINEPI}+$.     

Multiple serial episodes matching

Given q+1 strings (a text t of length n and q patterns m₁,…,mq) and a natural number w, the multiple serial episode matching problem consists in finding the number of size w windows of text t which contain patterns m₁,…,mq as subsequences, i.e., for each mi, if mi=p₁,…,pk, the letters p₁,…,pk occur in the window, in the same order as in mi, but not necessarily consecutively (they may be interleaved with other letters). Our main contribution here is an algorithm solving this problem on-line in time O(nq) with an MP-RAM model (which is a RAM model equipped with extra operations).
