Vol 2, No 2 (2017): Mining Sequential Patterns with Multiple Minimum Support for Large Sequence Databases

Abstract

Sequential pattern mining is an important model in data mining. Its mining algorithms discover all item sets in the data that satisfy the user-specified minimum support (minsup) and minimum confidence (mincon) constraints. Minsup controls the minimum number of data cases that a rule must cover. Mincon controls the analytical strength of the rule. Since only one minsup is used for the whole database, the model completely assumes that all items in the data are of the same nature and have similar frequencies in the data. In many applications, some data items appear frequently in the data, while others rarely appeared. If minsup is set too high, those rules that involve rare data items will not be found. To find rules that involve both frequent and rare items, minsup has to be set very low. This may affect combinational explosion because those frequent items will be associated with one another in all possible ways. This problem is called the rare item problem. This paper proposes to solve this problem. The technique allows the user to specify multiple minimum supports (MMS) to reflect the natures of the items and their mixed frequencies in the database. In data mining, different rules may need to satisfy different minimum supports depending on what items are in the database. Experiment results show that the technique is very effective.

Vol 2, No 2 (2017): The Architectural Model of a Cloud Based Data Centre

Abstract

The wide set of architectural design platforms available to corporate data centres has increased drastically over the years, which are spread across traditional proprietary data centres to multi-tenant structures. This model advocates a cloud based approach which can well be managed dynamically among internal and cloud based data centres. The requirement of this project is to combine all large file handling services under single code base, upgrade components into latest technology and leverage public cloud features. The plan is to deploy public facing gateway servers which collect files and persist it in Azure Blob. The latest data reported by IT teams put into lime light the concerns and issues faced by traditional security models which struggle to keep up with the emerging challenges and suggest that they are no more adequate for the challenges they face in addressing dynamic nature of cloud based Data centre This proposed dynamic cloud model provides many advantages which includes retrospective detection, dynamic management, effective deployment of huge files, improved detection rates and being cost effective

Vol 2, No 2 (2017): Complex Class Ensemble Approach for Gradually Evolved Classes

Abstract

Data Stream Mining is the process of extracting knowledge structures from continuous, rapid data records. Now a day’s huge amount of data is processed & analyzed. So it is very important to classify data & information properly. The information is basically unstructured & continuous. So huge volume of continuous data which has multidimensional feature & often fast changing. It is required to construct model which adapt such changes & give fast response. Such information flow examples are network traffic, sensor data, call center records etc. Class evolution is now a day’s important topic in data stream mining which handles such data. So in previous work proposed a model Class Based ensemble for Class evolution (CBCE) to maintain such a large amount of streams. But for complex & massive data result would be different. so complex class ensemble model (CCEM) is proposed for classification so huge & complex classes can be handled & classify & also proposed a model for class disappearance only so that more emp`hasize on class disappearance than class reoccurrence & novel class.

Vol 2, No 1 (2017): Hypergraph and Higher-Order Data Mining: Concepts, Models and Applications

Abstract

Traditional data mining techniques mostly rely on pairwise relationships represented by graphs or relational tables. However, many real-world systems naturally contain interactions among more than two entities simultaneously, such as co-authorship networks, biological pathways, and group communications. These complex multi-entity relations can be better modeled using hypergraphs and higher-order structures. Hypergraph and higher-order data mining has emerged as an important research direction to capture group level dependencies, collective patterns, and multi-way associations that cannot be discovered using conventional graph-based methods. This paper presents a comprehensive review of hypergraph and higher-order data mining. We first introduce the theoretical foundations of hypergraphs and their properties. Then we discuss hypergraph representation learning, clustering, classification, and community detection methods. We also examine higher-order network mining including simplicial complexes and tensor-based approaches. Applications in social networks, recommender systems, bioinformatics, and knowledge graphs are analyzed. A comparative analysis of algorithms and challenges is also presented. Finally, open research directions such as scalability, interpretability, and dynamic hypergraphs are discussed. The study shows that hypergraph-based mining provides richer structural understanding compared to traditional graph mining and is essential for modeling modern complex data systems.

Vol 2, No 1 (2017): An Improved Method for Measuring CIBIL Score

Abstract

CIBIL is India’s first Credit Information Company founded in August 2000. CIBIL collects and maintains records of an individual’s payments pertaining to loans and credit cards. These records are submitted to CIBIL by member banks and credit institutions, on a monthly basis. This information is then used to create Credit Information Reports (CIR) and credit scores which are provided to the credit institutions in order to help evaluate and approve loan applications. The existing CIBIL System does not provide any method to calculate score for the new users, whereas, this research is based on the methods to calculate score for both the existing as well as the new users.

Vol 2, No 1 (2017): Extraction of Web Blocks from Web Pages and Analysis of Extraction Algorithms

Abstract

Web page can be divided in various blocks called as fragments. A fragment is a portion of a web page which has a distinct theme or functionality and is distinguishable from the other parts of the page. Dividing web pages into fragments has provided significant benefits. Good methods are needed for dividing web pages into fragments. Manual fragmentation of web pages is expensive, error prone, and un-scalable. Due to these problems, extraction of web fragments using Content extractor algorithm and DeSeA algorithm have been widely used. The proposed work has following features: 1) Detect fragment using content extractor algorithm. 2) Extraction of fragment detected in step (1). 3) Detect fragment using DeSeA algorithm. 4) Extraction of fragment detected in step (3). 5) Analyze results of extracted fragment using above algorithms.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of Graph Neural Networks for relational pattern mining. It discusses fundamental GNN architectures, relational representation learning mechanisms, pattern mining approaches, and applications across domains. The study also compares GNN-based relational mining with classical graph mining techniques and highlights challenges such as interpretability, scalability, and dynamic graph modeling. Finally, future research directions including explainable relational mining, temporal GNNs, and hybrid symbolic neural models are outlined. The paper aims to serve as a structured reference for researchers exploring relational knowledge discovery using graph deep learning methods.

Abstract

The rapid growth of data-driven applications has significantly transformed decision-making processes across domains such as finance, healthcare, recruitment, and law enforcement. While data mining algorithms provide powerful tools to extract patterns and knowledge, they can inadvertently propagate or amplify societal biases present in the data. Fairness-aware data mining (FADM) algorithms have emerged as a solution to mitigate algorithmic discrimination and ensure equitable outcomes. This paper presents a comprehensive review of fairness-aware data mining techniques, focusing on pre-processing, in-processing, and post-processing strategies. We discuss fairness metrics, challenges in practical deployment, and provide comparative analysis of recent algorithms. Future research directions are also identified to promote fairness without compromising model utility.

Vol 1, No 2 (2016): Explainable Reasoning over Knowledge Graphs

Abstract

Knowledge graphs (KGs) have become a foundational tool in artificial intelligence, supporting applications in recommendation systems, natural language understanding, and decision-making. While reasoning over knowledge graphs enhances the ability to infer implicit knowledge, many methods remain opaque, leading to limited trust and interpretability. Explainable reasoning over knowledge graphs aims to make the inference process transparent, interpretable, and understandable by humans. This review provides an overview of current methods for explainable reasoning, including rule-based, embedding-based, and hybrid approaches. We discuss evaluation metrics, datasets, and challenges in the field. Moreover, we highlight emerging trends such as neuro-symbolic reasoning and graph attention mechanisms. Through comparative analysis, this paper presents insights into the trade-offs between reasoning performance and explainability, emphasizing the need for methods that balance accuracy with interpretability.

Vol 1, No 2 (2016): Community Detection in Large-Scale Heterogeneous Networks

Abstract

Large-scale heterogeneous networks are widely present in many real world systems such as social media platforms, citation graphs, biological interaction networks and e-commerce ecosystems. Unlike homogeneous networks where all nodes and edges are of same type, heterogeneous networks consist of multiple node and relation types, which makes community detection more challenging and also more meaningful. Community detection aims to identify groups of nodes that are densely connected or semantically related. In heterogeneous environments, communities often represent functional modules, user interest groups or knowledge clusters. This paper reviews the recent progress in community detection methods for large-scale heterogeneous networks. We discuss network characteristics, formal problem definitions, classical and modern detection approaches including meta-path based methods, probabilistic models, embedding techniques and deep learning approaches. Scalability challenges and evaluation metrics are also analyzed. Comparative discussion shows that embedding and graph neural network models are promising for large-scale settings but still face interpretability and efficiency issues. The paper finally outlines open research directions such as dynamic heterogeneous communities and privacy-aware detection.

Vol 1, No 1 (2016): Bias Detection and Mitigation in Knowledge Bases

Abstract

Knowledge bases (KBs) have become fundamental resources for artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and data-driven decision-making. However, KBs are prone to various forms of bias that can negatively influence downstream applications, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes. Bias in KBs may arise due to data imbalance, human annotation errors, or skewed representation of entities and relationships. This paper presents a comprehensive review of existing methods for bias detection and mitigation in knowledge bases. We categorize techniques into data-driven, embedding-based, and algorithmic approaches, discussing their advantages and limitations. We also highlight benchmark datasets used for evaluating bias and propose a framework for integrating bias mitigation in KB construction. Finally, we discuss open challenges and future research directions.

Vol 1, No 1 (2016): Automated Knowledge Discovery Using Large Language Models

Abstract

Automated knowledge discovery has become a critical task in modern digital environments where massive textual and multimodal data are generated continuously. Traditional data mining and knowledge discovery approaches rely heavily on structured databases and manual feature engineering, which limits scalability and semantic understanding. Large language models (LLMs) provide a new paradigm for extracting knowledge directly from unstructured sources such as scientific literature, technical reports, social media, and enterprise documents. These models demonstrate strong capabilities in representation learning, semantic reasoning, summarization, and relationship extraction, enabling automated discovery of concepts, patterns, and insights. This paper reviews the role of large language models in automated knowledge discovery, covering architectures, methodologies, application domains, and evaluation strategies. We discuss how LLM-based pipelines perform knowledge extraction, entity discovery, relation mapping, and hypothesis generation. Advantages such as contextual awareness, cross-domain generalization, and interactive learning are examined along with limitations including hallucination, bias, and explainability challenges. A conceptual framework for LLM-driven knowledge discovery is presented along with comparative analysis of classical and LLM-based methods. The review highlights emerging research directions including autonomous scientific discovery, domain-adapted LLMs, hybrid symbolic-neural reasoning, and trustworthy knowledge systems. Automated knowledge discovery using LLMs is expected to transform scientific research, engineering analytics, healthcare intelligence, and industrial decision support.
