Similarity measurement method of high-dimensional data based on normalized net lattice subspace

The performance of conventional similarity measurement methods is affected seriously by the curse of dimensionality of high-dimensional data.The reason is that data difference between sparse and noisy dimensionalities occupies a large proportion of the similarity,leading to the dissimilarities between any results.A similarity measurement method of high-dimensional data based on normalized net lattice subspace is proposed.The data range of each dimension is divided into several intervals,and the components in different dimensions are mapped onto the corresponding interval.Only the component in the same or adjacent interval is used to calculate the similarity.To validate this method,three data types are used,and seven common similarity measurement methods are compared.The experimental result indicates that the relative difference of the method is increasing with the dimensionality and is approximately two or three orders of magnitude higher than the conventional method.In addition,the similarity range of this method in different dimensions is [0,1],which is fit for similarity analysis after dimensionality reduction.

A nearest neighbor search algorithm of high-dimensional data based on sequential NPsim matrix

Problems existin similarity measurement and index tree construction which affect the performance of nearest neighbor search of high-dimensional data. The equidistance problem is solved using NPsim function to calculate similarity. And a sequential NPsim matrix is built to improve indexing performance. To sum up the above innovations,a nearest neighbor search algorithm of high-dimensional data based on sequential NPsim matrix is proposed in comparison with the nearest neighbor search algorithms based on KD-tree or SR-tree on Munsell spectral data set. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm similarity is better than that of other algorithms and searching speed is more than thousands times of others. In addition,the slow construction speed of sequential NPsim matrix can be increased by using parallel computing.

Frequent item sets mining from high-dimensional dataset based on a novel binary particle swarm optimization

A novel binary particle swarm optimization for frequent item sets mining from high-dimensional dataset(BPSO-HD) was proposed, where two improvements were joined. Firstly, the dimensionality reduction of initial particles was designed to ensure the reasonable initial fitness, and then, the dynamically dimensionality cutting of dataset was built to decrease the search space. Based on four high-dimensional datasets, BPSO-HD was compared with Apriori to test its reliability, and was compared with the ordinary BPSO and quantum swarm evolutionary(QSE) to prove its advantages. The experiments show that the results given by BPSO-HD is reliable and better than the results generated by BPSO and QSE.

Subspace Clustering in High-Dimensional Data Streams:A Systematic Literature Review

Clustering high dimensional data is challenging as data dimensionality increases the distance between data points,resulting in sparse regions that degrade clustering performance.Subspace clustering is a common approach for processing high-dimensional data by finding relevant features for each cluster in the data space.Subspace clustering methods extend traditional clustering to account for the constraints imposed by data streams.Data streams are not only high-dimensional,but also unbounded and evolving.This necessitates the development of subspace clustering algorithms that can handle high dimensionality and adapt to the unique characteristics of data streams.Although many articles have contributed to the literature review on data stream clustering,there is currently no specific review on subspace clustering algorithms in high-dimensional data streams.Therefore,this article aims to systematically review the existing literature on subspace clustering of data streams in high-dimensional streaming environments.The review follows a systematic methodological approach and includes 18 articles for the final analysis.The analysis focused on two research questions related to the general clustering process and dealing with the unbounded and evolving characteristics of data streams.The main findings relate to six elements:clustering process,cluster search,subspace search,synopsis structure,cluster maintenance,and evaluation measures.Most algorithms use a two-phase clustering approach consisting of an initialization stage,a refinement stage,a cluster maintenance stage,and a final clustering stage.The density-based top-down subspace clustering approach is more widely used than the others because it is able to distinguish true clusters and outliers using projected microclusters.Most algorithms implicitly adapt to the evolving nature of the data stream by using a time fading function that is sensitive to outliers.Future work can focus on the clustering framework,parameter optimization,subspace search techniques,memory-efficient synopsis structures,explicit cluster change detection,and intrinsic performance metrics.This article can serve as a guide for researchers interested in high-dimensional subspace clustering methods for data streams.

Censored Composite Conditional Quantile Screening for High-Dimensional Survival Data

In this paper,we introduce the censored composite conditional quantile coefficient(cC-CQC)to rank the relative importance of each predictor in high-dimensional censored regression.The cCCQC takes advantage of all useful information across quantiles and can detect nonlinear effects including interactions and heterogeneity,effectively.Furthermore,the proposed screening method based on cCCQC is robust to the existence of outliers and enjoys the sure screening property.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs competitively on survival datasets of high-dimensional predictors,particularly when the variables are highly correlated.

A State-Migration Particle Swarm Optimizer for Adaptive Latent Factor Analysis of High-Dimensional and Incomplete Data

High-dimensional and incomplete(HDI) matrices are primarily generated in all kinds of big-data-related practical applications. A latent factor analysis(LFA) model is capable of conducting efficient representation learning to an HDI matrix,whose hyper-parameter adaptation can be implemented through a particle swarm optimizer(PSO) to meet scalable requirements.However, conventional PSO is limited by its premature issues,which leads to the accuracy loss of a resultant LFA model. To address this thorny issue, this study merges the information of each particle's state migration into its evolution process following the principle of a generalized momentum method for improving its search ability, thereby building a state-migration particle swarm optimizer(SPSO), whose theoretical convergence is rigorously proved in this study. It is then incorporated into an LFA model for implementing efficient hyper-parameter adaptation without accuracy loss. Experiments on six HDI matrices indicate that an SPSO-incorporated LFA model outperforms state-of-the-art LFA models in terms of prediction accuracy for missing data of an HDI matrix with competitive computational efficiency.Hence, SPSO's use ensures efficient and reliable hyper-parameter adaptation in an LFA model, thus ensuring practicality and accurate representation learning for HDI matrices.

Efficient anti-aliasing and anti-leakage Fourier transform for high-dimensional seismic data regularization using cube removal and GPU

Seismic data is commonly acquired sparsely and irregularly, which necessitates the regularization of seismic data with anti-aliasing and anti-leakage methods during seismic data processing. We propose a novel method of 4D anti-aliasing and anti-leakage Fourier transform using a cube-removal strategy to address the combination of irregular sampling and aliasing in high-dimensional seismic data. We compute a weighting function by stacking the spectrum along the radial lines, apply this function to suppress the aliasing energy, and then iteratively pick the dominant amplitude cube to construct the Fourier spectrum. The proposed method is very efficient due to a cube removal strategy for accelerating the convergence of Fourier reconstruction and a well-designed parallel architecture using CPU/GPU collaborative computing. To better fill the acquisition holes from 5D seismic data and meanwhile considering the GPU memory limitation, we developed the anti-aliasing and anti-leakage Fourier transform method in 4D with the remaining spatial dimension looped. The entire workflow is composed of three steps: data splitting, 4D regularization, and data merging. Numerical tests on both synthetic and field data examples demonstrate the high efficiency and effectiveness of our approach.

Optimal Estimation of High-Dimensional Covariance Matrices with Missing and Noisy Data

The estimation of covariance matrices is very important in many fields, such as statistics. In real applications, data are frequently influenced by high dimensions and noise. However, most relevant studies are based on complete data. This paper studies the optimal estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices based on missing and noisy sample under the norm. First, the model with sub-Gaussian additive noise is presented. The generalized sample covariance is then modified to define a hard thresholding estimator , and the minimax upper bound is derived. After that, the minimax lower bound is derived, and it is concluded that the estimator presented in this article is rate-optimal. Finally, numerical simulation analysis is performed. The result shows that for missing samples with sub-Gaussian noise, if the true covariance matrix is sparse, the hard thresholding estimator outperforms the traditional estimate method.

An Ant Colony Optimization Based Dimension Reduction Method for High-Dimensional Datasets

In this paper, a bionic optimization algorithm based dimension reduction method named Ant Colony Optimization -Selection （ACO-S） is proposed for high-dimensional datasets. Because microarray datasets comprise tens of thousands of features （genes）, they are usually used to test the dimension reduction techniques. ACO-S consists of two stages in which two well-known ACO algorithms, namely ant system and ant colony system, are utilized to seek for genes, respectively. In the first stage, a modified ant system is used to filter the nonsignificant genes from high-dimensional space, and a number of promising genes are reserved in the next step. In the second stage, an improved ant colony system is applied to gene selection. In order to enhance the search ability of ACOs, we propose a method for calculating priori available heuristic information and design a fuzzy logic controller to dynamically adjust the number of ants in ant colony system. Furthermore, we devise another fuzzy logic controller to tune the parameter （q0） in ant colony system. We evaluate the performance of ACO-S on five microarray datasets, which have dimensions varying from 7129 to 12000. We also compare the performance of ACO-S with the results obtained from four existing well-known bionic optimization algorithms. The comparison results show that ACO-S has a notable ability to＂ generate a gene subset with the smallest size and salient features while yielding high classification accuracy. The comparative results generated by ACO-S adopting different classifiers are also given. The proposed method is shown to be a promising and effective tool for mining high-dimension data and mobile robot navigation.

On the k-sample Behrens-Fisher problem for high-dimensional data

For several decades, much attention has been paid to the two-sample Behrens-Fisher (BF) problem which tests the equality of the means or mean vectors of two normal populations with unequal variance/covariance structures. Little work, however, has been done for the k-sample BF problem for high dimensional data which tests the equality of the mean vectors of several high-dimensional normal populations with unequal covariance structures. In this paper we study this challenging problem via extending the famous Scheffe’s transformation method, which reduces the k-sample BF problem to a one-sample problem. The induced one-sample problem can be easily tested by the classical Hotelling’s T 2 test when the size of the resulting sample is very large relative to its dimensionality. For high dimensional data, however, the dimensionality of the resulting sample is often very large, and even much larger than its sample size, which makes the classical Hotelling’s T 2 test not powerful or not even well defined. To overcome this difficulty, we propose and study an L 2-norm based test. The asymptotic powers of the proposed L 2-norm based test and Hotelling’s T 2 test are derived and theoretically compared. Methods for implementing the L 2-norm based test are described. Simulation studies are conducted to compare the L 2-norm based test and Hotelling’s T 2 test when the latter can be well defined, and to compare the proposed implementation methods for the L 2-norm based test otherwise. The methodologies are motivated and illustrated by a real data example.

Visualizing large-scale high-dimensional data via hierarchical embedding of KNN graphs

Visualizing intrinsic structures of high-dimensional data is an essential task in data analysis.Over the past decades,a large number of methods have been proposed.Among all solutions,one promising way for enabling effective visual exploration is to construct a k-nearest neighbor(KNN)graph and visualize the graph in a low-dimensional space.Yet,state-of-the-art methods such as the LargeVis still suffer from two main problems when applied to large-scale data:(1)they may produce unappealing visualizations due to the non-convexity of the cost function;(2)visualizing the KNN graph is still time-consuming.In this work,we propose a novel visualization algorithm that leverages a multilevel representation to achieve a high-quality graph layout and employs a cluster-based approximation scheme to accelerate the KNN graph layout.Experiments on various large-scale datasets indicate that our approach achieves a speedup by a factor of five for KNN graph visualization compared to LargeVis and yields aesthetically pleasing visualization results.

Differentially private high-dimensional data publication via grouping and truncating techniques

The count of one column for high-dimensional datasets, i.e., the number of records containing this column, has been widely used in nuinerous applications such as analyzing popular spots based on check-in location information and mining valuable items from shopping records. However, this poses a privacy threat when directly publishing this information. Differential privacy (DP), as a notable paradigm for strong privacy guarantees, is thereby adopted to publish all column counts. Prior studies have verified that truncating records or grouping columns can effectively improve the accuracy of published results. To leverage the advantages of the two techniques, we combine these studies to further boost the accuracy of published results. However, the traditional penalty function, which measures the error imported by a given pair of parameters including truncating length and group size, is so sensitive that the derived parameters deviate from the optimal parameters significantly. To output preferable parameters, we first design a smart penalty function that is less sensitive than the traditional function. Moreover, a two-phase selection method is proposed to compute these parameters efficiently, together with the improvement in accuracy. Extensive experiments on a broad spectrum of real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of our proposals.

Item-level Forecasting for E-commerce Demand with High-dimensional Data Using a Two-stage Feature Selection Algorithm

With the rapid development of information technology and fast growth of Internet users,e-commerce nowadays is facing complex business environment and accumulating large-volume and highdimensional data.This brings two challenges for demand forecasting.First,e-merchants need to find appropriate approaches to leverage the large amount of data and extract forecast features to capture various factors affecting the demand.Second,they need to efficiently identify the most important features to improve the forecast accuracy and better understand the key drivers for demand changes.To solve these challenges,this study conducts a multi-dimensional feature engineering by constructing five feature categories including historical demand,price,page view,reviews,and competition for e-commerce demand forecasting on item-level.We then propose a two-stage random forest-based feature selection algorithm to effectively identify the important features from the high-dimensional feature set and avoid overfittlng.We test our proposed algorithm with a large-scale dataset from the largest e-commerce platform in China.The numerical results from 21,111 items and 109 million sales observations show that our proposed random forest-based forecasting framework with a two-stage feature selection algorithm delivers 11.58%,5.81%and 3.68%forecast accuracy improvement,compared with the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA),Random Forecast,and Random Forecast with one-stage feature selection approach,respectively,which are widely used in literature and industry.This study provides a useful tool for the practitioners to forecast demands and sheds lights on the B2C e-commerce operations management.

Target Controllability of Multi-Layer Networks With High-Dimensional Nodes

This paper studies the target controllability of multilayer complex networked systems,in which the nodes are highdimensional linear time invariant(LTI)dynamical systems,and the network topology is directed and weighted.The influence of inter-layer couplings on the target controllability of multi-layer networks is discussed.It is found that even if there exists a layer which is not target controllable,the entire multi-layer network can still be target controllable due to the inter-layer couplings.For the multi-layer networks with general structure,a necessary and sufficient condition for target controllability is given by establishing the relationship between uncontrollable subspace and output matrix.By the derived condition,it can be found that the system may be target controllable even if it is not state controllable.On this basis,two corollaries are derived,which clarify the relationship between target controllability,state controllability and output controllability.For the multi-layer networks where the inter-layer couplings are directed chains and directed stars,sufficient conditions for target controllability of networked systems are given,respectively.These conditions are easier to verify than the classic criterion.

Multi-Objective Equilibrium Optimizer for Feature Selection in High-Dimensional English Speech Emotion Recognition

Speech emotion recognition(SER)uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions.The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high,so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system.The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy.First,we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals.Then,we employ a multi-objective ranking method to evaluate these features and assign different importance to them.Features with high rankings have a large probability of being selected.Finally,we propose a repair strategy to address the problem of duplicate solutions in multi-objective feature selection,which can improve the diversity of solutions and avoid falling into local traps.Using random forest and K-nearest neighbor classifiers,four English speech emotion datasets are employed to test the proposed algorithm(MBEO)as well as other multi-objective emotion identification techniques.The results illustrate that it performs well in inverted generational distance,hypervolume,Pareto solutions,and execution time,and MBEO is appropriate for high-dimensional English SER.

Robust Latent Factor Analysis for Precise Representation of High-Dimensional and Sparse Data

High-dimensional and sparse(HiDS)matrices commonly arise in various industrial applications,e.g.,recommender systems(RSs),social networks,and wireless sensor networks.Since they contain rich information,how to accurately represent them is of great significance.A latent factor(LF)model is one of the most popular and successful ways to address this issue.Current LF models mostly adopt L2-norm-oriented Loss to represent an HiDS matrix,i.e.,they sum the errors between observed data and predicted ones with L2-norm.Yet L2-norm is sensitive to outlier data.Unfortunately,outlier data usually exist in such matrices.For example,an HiDS matrix from RSs commonly contains many outlier ratings due to some heedless/malicious users.To address this issue,this work proposes a smooth L1-norm-oriented latent factor(SL-LF)model.Its main idea is to adopt smooth L1-norm rather than L2-norm to form its Loss,making it have both strong robustness and high accuracy in predicting the missing data of an HiDS matrix.Experimental results on eight HiDS matrices generated by industrial applications verify that the proposed SL-LF model not only is robust to the outlier data but also has significantly higher prediction accuracy than state-of-the-art models when they are used to predict the missing data of HiDS matrices.

An Efficient Reliability-Based Optimization Method Utilizing High-Dimensional Model Representation and Weight-Point Estimation Method

The objective of reliability-based design optimization(RBDO)is to minimize the optimization objective while satisfying the corresponding reliability requirements.However,the nested loop characteristic reduces the efficiency of RBDO algorithm,which hinders their application to high-dimensional engineering problems.To address these issues,this paper proposes an efficient decoupled RBDO method combining high dimensional model representation(HDMR)and the weight-point estimation method(WPEM).First,we decouple the RBDO model using HDMR and WPEM.Second,Lagrange interpolation is used to approximate a univariate function.Finally,based on the results of the first two steps,the original nested loop reliability optimization model is completely transformed into a deterministic design optimization model that can be solved by a series of mature constrained optimization methods without any additional calculations.Two numerical examples of a planar 10-bar structure and an aviation hydraulic piping system with 28 design variables are analyzed to illustrate the performance and practicability of the proposed method.

An Optimal Big Data Analytics with Concept Drift Detection on High-Dimensional Streaming Data

Big data streams started becoming ubiquitous in recent years,thanks to rapid generation of massive volumes of data by different applications.It is challenging to apply existing data mining tools and techniques directly in these big data streams.At the same time,streaming data from several applications results in two major problems such as class imbalance and concept drift.The current research paper presents a new Multi-Objective Metaheuristic Optimization-based Big Data Analytics with Concept Drift Detection(MOMBD-CDD)method on High-Dimensional Streaming Data.The presented MOMBD-CDD model has different operational stages such as pre-processing,CDD,and classification.MOMBD-CDD model overcomes class imbalance problem by Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique(SMOTE).In order to determine the oversampling rates and neighboring point values of SMOTE,Glowworm Swarm Optimization(GSO)algorithm is employed.Besides,Statistical Test of Equal Proportions(STEPD),a CDD technique is also utilized.Finally,Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory(Bi-LSTM)model is applied for classification.In order to improve classification performance and to compute the optimum parameters for Bi-LSTM model,GSO-based hyperparameter tuning process is carried out.The performance of the presented model was evaluated using high dimensional benchmark streaming datasets namely intrusion detection(NSL KDDCup)dataset and ECUE spam dataset.An extensive experimental validation process confirmed the effective outcome of MOMBD-CDD model.The proposed model attained high accuracy of 97.45%and 94.23%on the applied KDDCup99 Dataset and ECUE Spam datasets respectively.

Automatic Variable Selection for High-Dimensional Linear Models with Longitudinal Data

High-dimensional longitudinal data arise frequently in biomedical and genomic research. It is important to select relevant covariates when the dimension of the parameters diverges as the sample size increases. We consider the problem of variable selection in high-dimensional linear models with longitudinal data. A new variable selection procedure is proposed using the smooth-threshold generalized estimating equation and quadratic inference functions (SGEE-QIF) to incorporate correlation information. The proposed procedure automatically eliminates inactive predictors by setting the corresponding parameters to be zero, and simultaneously estimates the nonzero regression coefficients by solving the SGEE-QIF. The proposed procedure avoids the convex optimization problem and is flexible and easy to implement. We establish the asymptotic properties in a high-dimensional framework where the number of covariates increases as the number of cluster increases. Extensive Monte Carlo simulation studies are conducted to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed variable selection procedure.
