Data Matching: Concepts and Techniques for Record Linkage, Entity Resolution, and Duplicate Detection (Data-Centric Systems and Applications)
by Peter ChristenData matching (also known as record or data linkage, entity resolution, object identification, or field matching) is the task of identifying, matching and merging records that correspond to the same entities from several databases or even within one database. Based on research in various domains including applied statistics, health informatics, data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, database management, and digital libraries, significant advances have been achieved over the last decade in all aspects of the data matching process, especially on how to improve the accuracy of data matching, and its scalability to large databases. Peter Christen's book is divided into three parts: Part I, "Overview", introduces the subject by presenting several sample applications and their special challenges, as well as a general overview of a generic data matching process. Part II, "Steps of the Data Matching Process", then details its main steps like pre-processing, indexing, field and record comparison, classification, and quality evaluation. Lastly, part III, "Further Topics", deals with specific aspects like privacy, real-time matching, or matching unstructured data. Finally, it briefly describes the main features of many research and open source systems available today. By providing the reader with a broad range of data matching concepts and techniques and touching on all aspects of the data matching process, this book helps researchers as well as students specializing in data quality or data matching aspects to familiarize themselves with recent research advances and to identify open research challenges in the area of data matching. To this end, each chapter of the book includes a final section that provides pointers to further background and research material. Practitioners will better understand the current state of the art in data matching as well as the internal workings and limitations of current systems. Especially, they will learn that it is often not feasible to simply implement an existing off-the-shelf data matching system without substantial adaption and customization. Such practical considerations are discussed for each of the major steps in the data matching process.
Data Matters: Ethics, Data, And International Research Collaboration In A Changing World: Proceedings Of A Workshop
by Engineering Medicine National Academies of SciencesIn an increasingly interconnected world, perhaps it should come as no surprise that international collaboration in science and technology research is growing at a remarkable rate. As science and technology capabilities grow around the world, U.S.-based organizations are finding that international collaborations and partnerships provide unique opportunities to enhance research and training. International research agreements can serve many purposes, but data are always involved in these collaborations. The kinds of data in play within international research agreements varies widely and may range from financial and consumer data, to Earth and space data, to population behavior and health data, to specific project-generated data—this is just a narrow set of examples of research data but illustrates the breadth of possibilities. The uses of these data are various and require accounting for the effects of data access, use, and sharing on many different parties. Cultural, legal, policy, and technical concerns are also important determinants of what can be done in the realms of maintaining privacy, confidentiality, and security, and ethics is a lens through which the issues of data, data sharing, and research agreements can be viewed as well. A workshop held on March 14-16, 2018, in Washington, DC explored the changing opportunities and risks of data management and use across disciplinary domains. The third workshop in a series, participants gathered to examine advisory principles for consideration when developing international research agreements, in the pursuit of highlighting promising practices for sustaining and enabling international research collaborations at the highest ethical level possible. The intent of the workshop was to explore, through an ethical lens, the changing opportunities and risks associated with data management and use across disciplinary domains—all within the context of international research agreements. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Data Mining Algorithms in C++: Data Patterns and Algorithms for Modern Applications
by Timothy MastersIn my decades of custom programming and consultation, I have explored diverse applications, including automated analysis of high-altitude photographs, automated medical diagnosis, realtime detection of threatening military vehicles, and automated trading of financial markets. A common thread in all of these applications is that I was faced with a multitude of observed or computed variables, and my task involved finding and analyzing relationships among these variables. As a result, I have accumulated a wealth of algorithms for doing so. This book presents theoretical and intuitive justifications, along with highly commented source code, for my favorite data-mining techniques. This book makes no pretense of being 'complete' in any manner whatsoever. Please do not be annoyed if your own favorite techniques did not make my cut, or if the book ignores some popular standard techniques. These are simply the algorithms that I have found most useful in my own work over the years. Some of them are venerable old techniques such as the use of maximum-likelihood factor analysis for determining the degree to which variables contain unique information, versus being redundant due to hidden common factors impacting several variables. Some of them are powerful modern techniques, such as Combinatorially Symmetric Cross Validation for determining if a model is hampered by overfitting, or Feature Weighting as Regularized Energy-Based Learning for ranking variables in predictive power when there are too few training cases to employ traditional methods. Some of them are (I believe) my own invention, such as a method for clustering variables in the restricted context of a subspace of interest, and visual display of anomalous regions in which joint and marginal densities conflict, or in which contribution to mutual information is concentrated. But all of them share a great quality: I have found them to be exceptionally useful in my own data-mining endeavors. I suspect that you will as well.
Data Mining Applications Using Artificial Adaptive Systems
by William J. TastleThis volume directly addresses the complexities involved in data mining and the development of new algorithms, built on an underlying theory consisting of linear and non-linear dynamics, data selection, filtering, and analysis, while including analytical projection and prediction. The results derived from the analysis are then further manipulated such that a visual representation is derived with an accompanying analysis. The book brings very current methods of analysis to the forefront of the discipline, provides researchers and practitioners the mathematical underpinning of the algorithms, and the non-specialist with a visual representation such that a valid understanding of the meaning of the adaptive system can be attained with careful attention to the visual representation. The book presents, as a collection of documents, sophisticated and meaningful methods that can be immediately understood and applied to various other disciplines of research. The content is composed of chapters addressing: An application of adaptive systems methodology in the field of post-radiation treatment involving brain volume differences in children; A new adaptive system for computer-aided diagnosis of the characterization of lung nodules; A new method of multi-dimensional scaling with minimal loss of information; A description of the semantics of point spaces with an application on the analysis of terrorist attacks in Afghanistan; The description of a new family of meta-classifiers; A new method of optimal informational sorting; A general method for the unsupervised adaptive classification for learning; and the presentation of two new theories, one in target diffusion and the other in twisting theory.

Data Mining Techniques in Sensor Networks: Summarization, Interpolation and Surveillance (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Annalisa Appice Anna Ciampi Fabio Fumarola Donato MalerbaSensor networks comprise of a number of sensors installed across a spatially distributed network, which gather information and periodically feed a central server with the measured data. The server monitors the data, issues possible alarms and computes fast aggregates. As data analysis requests may concern both present and past data, the server is forced to store the entire stream. But the limited storage capacity of a server may reduce the amount of data stored on the disk. One solution is to compute summaries of the data as it arrives, and to use these summaries to interpolate the real data. This work introduces a recently defined spatio-temporal pattern, called trend cluster, to summarize, interpolate and identify anomalies in a sensor network. As an example, the application of trend cluster discovery to monitor the efficiency of photovoltaic power plants is discussed. The work closes with remarks on new possibilities for surveillance enabled by recent developments in sensing technology.
