The purpose of this study is to develop a system which will assist a user to determine if a location can be entitled as a “Safe” residence or not. The output will be based on an analysis carried out on the local crime history of the city. This involves examining a huge geolocation data and zeroing down to a single area. The area with majority crime incidents will be highlighted as Unsafe. Clicking/hovering on a single record will display name, associated crime and its rank depending on number of crimes occurred. Big Data Hadoop and Hive systems are implemented in Azure for the analysis.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Jongwook Woo at California State University Los Angeles on December 1st, 2016. The presentation introduced big data concepts and how the team implemented a geolocation analysis of crime data from Chicago using Hadoop Hive on the Microsoft Azure cloud. Visualizations of the results showed crime types by occurrence, tables of crime data, and a map highlighting safer and less safe areas of Chicago based on the analysis. The team concluded the analysis could help people search for safer places to live and potentially integrate with rental companies.
Active Content-Based Crowdsourcing Task SelectionCarsten Eickhoff
Crowdsourcing has long established itself as a viable alternative to corpus annotation by domain experts for tasks such as document relevance assessment. The crowdsourcing process traditionally relies on high degrees of label redundancy in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of individually noisy worker submissions. Such redundancy comes at the cost of increased label volume, and, subsequently, monetary requirements. In practice, especially as the size of datasets increases, this is undesirable.
In this paper, we focus on an alternate method that exploits document information instead, to infer relevance labels for unjudged documents. We present an active learning scheme for document selection that aims at maximising the overall relevance label prediction accuracy, for a given budget of available relevance judgements by exploiting system-wide estimates of label variance and mutual information. Our experiments are based on TREC 2011 Crowdsourcing Track data and show that our method is able to achieve state-of-the-art performance while requiring 17 – 25% less budget.
This paper has been accepted for presentation at the 25th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM).
(Jaume Sala). The initial definition of this project consisted on three questions: How can the city administration connect/combine own data sets within the existing IT structure in order to make multidimensional analysis? How can we (the government of Schiedam) combine these datasets with datasets from several stakeholders? And finally, what kind of new information can become available? The objectives of the project were the following: Implement a tool to achieve the visual representation of georeferenced datasets, analyze the possibility to combine multiple datasets in the same graphical representation, and propose a new datasets organization related to smart city indicators and geospatial data.
This document proposes an automatic scaling framework for efficiently processing big geospatial data in Hadoop clusters in the cloud. The framework dynamically adjusts computing resources based on processing workload to handle spikes while minimizing resource consumption. It includes a CoveringHDFS mechanism to safely scale down clusters without losing data. Experimental results found the auto-scaling framework reduced computing resource use by 80% compared to static clusters, and ensured processing was completed within a specified time period.
The document proposes a novelty detection approach for web crawlers to minimize redundant documents retrieved. It summarizes the generic crawler methodology and introduces the proposed crawler methodology which uses semantic text summarization and similarity calculation based on n-gram fingerprinting to identify novel pages not already in the database. The implementation and results show that the proposed approach significantly reduces redundancy and memory requirements compared to a generic crawler.

Big Data Analytics: From SQL to Machine Learning and Graph AnalysisYuanyuan Tian
This document discusses big data analytics and different types of analytics that can be performed on big data, including SQL, machine learning, and graph analytics. It provides an overview of various big data analytics systems and techniques for different data types and complexity levels. Integrated analytics that combine multiple types of analytics are also discussed. The key challenges of big data analytics and how different systems address them are covered.
We witness an unprecedented proliferation of knowledge graphs that record millions of heterogeneous entities and their diverse relationships. While knowledge graphs are structure-flexible and content-rich, it is difficult to query them. The challenge lies in the gap between their overwhelming complexity and the limited database knowledge of non-professional users. If writing structured queries over “simple” tables is difficult, it gets even harder to query complex knowledge graphs. As an initial step toward improving the usability of knowledge graphs, we propose to query such data by example entity tuples, without requiring users to write complex graph queries. Our system, GQBE (Graph Query By Example), is a proof of concept to show the possibility of this querying paradigm working in practice. The proposed framework automatically derives a hidden query graph based on input query tuples and finds approximate matching answer graphs to obtain a ranked list of top-k answer tuples. It also makes provisions for users to give feedback on the presented top-k answer tuples. The feedback is used to refine the query graph to better capture the user intent. We conducted initial experiments on the real-world Freebase dataset, and observed appealing accuracy and efficiency. Our proposal of querying by example tuples provides a complementary approach to the existing keyword-based and query-graph-based methods, facilitating user-friendly graph querying. To the best of our knowledge, GQBE is among the first few emerging systems to query knowledge graphs by example entity tuples.
This document summarizes the results of an empirical analysis of 177 scientific workflows from Taverna and Wings systems. The analysis identified common motifs in data-oriented activities and workflow implementation styles. For data activities, motifs included data preparation, data transformation, data movement and data visualization. For workflows, motifs involved different ways activities were combined and implemented. The identified motifs could help inform workflow design practices and tools to generate workflow abstractions, improving understanding and reusability of workflows.
This document discusses data stream mining and techniques for handling continuous data streams. It notes that data streams arrive continuously in high volumes and require one-pass algorithms due to memory and time constraints. Traditional data mining techniques cannot be directly applied. The document outlines requirements for data stream mining including processing examples one at a time with limited memory and time. It describes basic techniques like sampling, load shedding and sketching. It also discusses forgetting mechanisms like sliding windows and decay functions to handle concept drift. Classification algorithms and tools for data stream mining are also summarized.
Understandung Firebird optimizer, by Dmitry Yemanov (in English)Alexey Kovyazin
The document discusses Firebird's query optimizer. It explains that the optimizer analyzes statistical information to retrieve data in the most efficient way. It can use rule-based or cost-based strategies. Rule-based uses heuristics while cost-based calculates costs based on statistics. The optimizer prepares queries, calculates costs of different plans, and chooses the most efficient plan based on selectivity, cardinality, and cost metrics. It relies on up-to-date statistics stored in the database to estimate costs and make optimization decisions.
Firebird: cost-based optimization and statistics, by Dmitry Yemanov (in English)Alexey Kovyazin
This document discusses cost-based optimization and statistics in Firebird. It covers:
1) Rule-based optimization uses heuristics while cost-based optimization uses statistical data to estimate the cost of different access paths and choose the most efficient.
2) Statistics like selectivity, cardinality, and histograms help estimate costs by providing information on data distribution and amounts.
3) The optimizer aggregates costs from the bottom up and chooses the access path with the lowest total cost based on the statistical information.
The document presents a framework for analyzing usage of domain ontologies on the semantic web. It proposes metrics to measure ontology usage, including concept richness, concept usage, and relationship and attribute values. The framework was implemented to analyze usage of ontologies in datasets from companies like Google and Yahoo. The analysis provided insights into ontology usage trends and patterns in the knowledge bases. Ontology usage analysis can help ontology engineers understand usage and evolve ontologies, as well as anticipate available knowledge when developing applications.

The document proposes an architecture for extracting, aligning, linking, and visualizing multi-source intelligence data at scale. The architecture uses open source software like Apache Nutch, Karma, ElasticSearch, and Hadoop to extract structured and unstructured data, integrate the data using machine learning, compute similarities, resolve entities, construct a knowledge graph, and allow querying and visualization of the graph. An example scenario of analyzing a country's nuclear capabilities from open sources is provided to illustrate the system.

This document proposes an approach called SemTyper for assigning semantic labels from a domain ontology to data attributes in a source. SemTyper uses text similarity and statistical tests to holistically label textual and numeric data, respectively. It was evaluated on museum, city, weather, and flight data and showed improved accuracy over prior approaches while training 250x faster. SemTyper can also handle noisy data and works with any user-selected ontology.
Giraph++: From "Think Like a Vertex" to "Think Like a Graph"Yuanyuan Tian
To meet the challenge of processing rapidly growing graph and
network data created by modern applications, a number of distributed graph processing systems have emerged, such as Pregel and GraphLab. All these systems divide input graphs into partitions, and employ a “think like a vertex” programming model to support iterative graph computation. This vertex-centric model is easy to program and has been proved useful for many graph algorithms. However, this model hides the partitioning information from the users, thus prevents many algorithm-specific optimizations. This often results in longer execution time due to excessive network messages (e.g. in Pregel) or heavy scheduling overhead to ensure data consistency (e.g. in GraphLab). To address this limitation, we
propose a new “think like a graph” programming paradigm. Under this graph-centric model, the partition structure is opened up to the users, and can be utilized so that communication within a partition can bypass the heavy message passing or scheduling machinery. We implemented this model in a new system, called Giraph++, based on Apache Giraph, an open source implementation of Pregel. We explore the applicability of the graph-centric model to three categories of graph algorithms, and demonstrate its flexibility and superior performance, especially on well-partitioned data.
Big data refers to large, complex datasets that are difficult to process using traditional database management tools. It has become a business strategy for leveraging information resources generated by social media, scientific instruments, mobile devices, sensors, and networks. While more data can be collected than ever before, the challenges lie in managing, analyzing, summarizing, visualizing, and discovering knowledge from the data in a timely and scalable way. Hadoop is an open-source software framework that addresses these challenges through distributed storage and processing of large datasets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It provides reliable storage of data via its Hadoop Distributed File System and scalable processing of that data using the MapReduce programming model.
This document provides an introduction to statistics and key statistical concepts. It defines statistics as the collection, organization, analysis and presentation of numerical data to make meaningful predictions. It discusses how data can be collected from entire populations or samples, and distinguishes between raw and secondary data. It introduces common statistical tools like frequency distribution tables, grouped frequency tables, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), graphical representations (bar graphs, histograms, frequency polygons), and class marks.
Linear regression on 1 terabytes of data? Some crazy observations and actionsHesen Peng
1) The document discusses using linear regression on 1 terabyte of data by leveraging Amazon Web Services' free tier and distributed computing algorithms in Python and R.
2) It notes the challenges of going beyond linear models with big data, including better prediction and real-time analytics.
3) A proposed solution is "universal association discovery" to find relationships between random variables regardless of form using functions on observation graphs, though this approach currently only works for continuous variables.

Smart Searching Through Trillion of Research Papers with Apache Spark ML with...Databricks
Every publication has a rich set of documents that contain information about different domains. Mostly, these documents keeps on sitting in data warehouses. If used wisely, they can prove to be a golden set for companies operating in domains like pharma, medical, or financial institutions.
For example, today it takes any pharmaceutical company upto 12 years and $2 billion to bring a single new drug to market. Despite the huge spend, scientists in Pharma don’t have a way to find the data on the work which is already done. They just redo the whole thing, wasting money on duplicate work.
The biggest challenge in making those documents searchable is that they need to be tagged with their corresponding topics for which SMEs [Subject Matter Experts] are required. SMEs would read the document and fetch the topics, tag it with the topics. This way of tagging documents is slow and expensive.
This talk explains how we can apply Spark ML to tag 100s of thousands of documents. Applying ML will not only make tagging process faster & less expensive but also can explore new fields which are overlooked by SMEs.
An Efficient Approach for Clustering High Dimensional DataIJSTA
The document discusses clustering high dimensional data using an efficient approach called "Big Data Clustering using k-Mediods BAT Algorithm" (KMBAT). KMBAT simultaneously considers all data points as potential exemplars and exchanges real-valued messages between data points until a high-quality set of exemplars and corresponding clusters emerges. It is demonstrated on Facebook user profile data stored in an HDInsight Hadoop cluster. KMBAT finds better clustering solutions than other methods in less time for high dimensional big data.

DATA SCIENCE IS CATALYZING BUSINESS AND INNOVATION Elvis Muyanja
Today, data science is enabling companies, governments, research centres and other organisations to turn their volumes of big data into valuable and actionable insights. It is important to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, market trends, customer preferences and other useful business information. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, the U.S. alone could face a shortage of about 190,000 data scientists and 1.5 million managers and analysts who can understand and make decisions using big data by 2018. In coming years, data scientists will be vital to all sectors —from law and medicine to media and nonprofits. Has the African continent planned to train the next generation of data scientists required on the continent?

Survey of the Euro Currency Fluctuation by Using Data Miningijcsit
Data mining or Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is a new field in information technology that emerged because of progress in creation and maintenance of large databases by combining statistical and artificial intelligence methods with database management. Data mining is used to recognize hidden patterns and provide relevant information for decision making on complex problems where conventional methods are inecient or too slow. Data mining can be used as a powerful tool to predict future trends and behaviors, and this prediction allows making proactive, knowledge-driven decisions in businesses. Since the automated prospective analyses offered by data mining move beyond the analyses of past events provided by retrospective tools, it can answer the business questions which are traditionally time consuming to resolve. Based on this great advantage, it provides more interest for the government, industry and commerce. In this paper we have used this tool to investigate the Euro currency fluctuation.For this investigation, we have three different algorithms: K*, IBK and MLP and we have extracted.Euro currency volatility by using the same criteria for all used algorithms. The used dataset has
21,084 records and is collected from daily price fluctuations in the Euro currency in the period
of10/2006 to 04/2010.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
