This document proposes using truncated non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) with sparseness constraints for privacy-preserving data perturbation. NMF is used to distort individual data values while preserving statistical distributions. Experimental results on breast cancer and ionosphere datasets show that the method effectively conceals sensitive information while maintaining data mining performance after distortion, as measured by a k-nearest neighbors classifier's accuracy. The degree of data distortion and privacy can be controlled by varying the NMF rank, sparseness constraint, and truncation threshold.

SCAF – AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO CLASSIFY SUBSPACE CLUSTERING ALGORITHMSijdkp
Subspace clustering discovers the clusters embedded in multiple, overlapping subspaces of high
dimensional data. Many significant subspace clustering algorithms exist, each having different
characteristics caused by the use of different techniques, assumptions, heuristics used etc. A comprehensive
classification scheme is essential which will consider all such characteristics to divide subspace clustering
approaches in various families. The algorithms belonging to same family will satisfy common
characteristics. Such a categorization will help future developers to better understand the quality criteria to
be used and similar algorithms to be used to compare results with their proposed clustering algorithms. In
this paper, we first proposed the concept of SCAF (Subspace Clustering Algorithms’ Family).
Characteristics of SCAF will be based on the classes such as cluster orientation, overlap of dimensions etc.
As an illustration, we further provided a comprehensive, systematic description and comparison of few
significant algorithms belonging to “Axis parallel, overlapping, density based” SCAF.
Improved Slicing Algorithm For Greater Utility In Privacy Preserving Data Pub...Waqas Tariq
Several algorithms and techniques have been proposed in recent years for the publication of sensitive microdata. However, there is a trade-off to be considered between the level of privacy offered and the usefulness of the published data. Recently, slicing was proposed as a novel technique for increasing the utility of an anonymized published dataset by partitioning the dataset vertically and horizontally. This work proposes a novel technique to increase the utility of a sliced dataset even further by allowing overlapped clustering while maintaining the prevention of membership disclosure. It is further shown that using an alternative algorithm to Mondrian increases the efficiency of slicing. This paper shows though workload experiments that these improvements help preserve data utility better than traditional slicing.
Improved probabilistic distance based locality preserving projections method ...IJECEIAES
In this paper, a dimensionality reduction is achieved in large datasets using the proposed distance based Non-integer Matrix Factorization (NMF) technique, which is intended to solve the data dimensionality problem. Here, NMF and distance measurement aim to resolve the non-orthogonality problem due to increased dataset dimensionality. It initially partitions the datasets, organizes them into a defined geometric structure and it avoids capturing the dataset structure through a distance based similarity measurement. The proposed method is designed to fit the dynamic datasets and it includes the intrinsic structure using data geometry. Therefore, the complexity of data is further avoided using an Improved Distance based Locality Preserving Projection. The proposed method is evaluated against existing methods in terms of accuracy, average accuracy, mutual information and average mutual information.

POSTERIOR RESOLUTION AND STRUCTURAL MODIFICATION FOR PARAMETER DETERMINATION ...IJCI JOURNAL
When only a few lower modes data are available to evaluate a large number of unknown parameters, it is
difficult to acquire information about all unknown parameters. The challenge in this kind of updation
problem is first to get confidence about the parameters that are evaluated correctly using the available
data and second to get information about the remaining parameters. In this work, the first issue is resolved
employing the sensitivity of the modal data used for updation. Once it is fixed that which parameters are
evaluated satisfactorily using the available modal data the remaining parameters are evaluated employing
modal data of a virtual structure. This virtual structure is created by adding or removing some known
stiffness to or from some of the stories of the original structure. A 12-story shear building is considered for
the numerical illustration of the approach. Results of the study show that the present approach is an
effective tool in system identification problem when only a few data is available for updation.

Welcome to International Journal of Engineering Research and Development (IJERD)IJERD Editor
This document discusses techniques for handling missing data values in datasets. It compares the K-means clustering and k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classifier approaches for imputing missing values.

Slicing groups correlated attributes to maintain useful correlations and breaks links between uncorrelated attributes that pose privacy risks.
Study of the Class and Structural Changes Caused By Incorporating the Target ...ijceronline
High dimensional data when processed by using various machine learning and pattern recognition techniques, it undergoes several changes. Dimensionality reduction is one such successfully used pre-processing technique to analyze and represent the high dimensional data that causes several structural changes to occur in the data through the process. The high-dimensional data when used to extract just the target class from among several classes that are spatially scattered then the philosophy of the dimensionality reduction is to find an optimal subset of features either from the original space or from the transformed space using the control set of the target class and then project the input space onto this optimal feature subspace. This paper is an exploratory analysis carried out to study the class properties and the structural properties that are affected due to the target class guided feature subsetting in specific. K-nearest neighbors and minimum spanning tree are employed to study the structural properties, and cluster analysis is applied to understand the target class and other class properties. The experimentation is conducted on the target class derived features on the selected bench mark data sets namely IRIS, AVIRIS Indiana Pine and ROSIS Pavia University data set. Experimentation is also extended to data represented in the optimal principal components obtained by transforming the subset of features and results are also compared
INFLUENCE OF DATA GEOMETRY IN RANDOM SUBSET FEATURE SELECTIONIJDKP
The geometry of data, also known as probability distribution, is an important consideration for accurate computation of data mining tasks, such as pre-processing, classification and interpretation. The data geometry influences outcome and accuracy of the statistical analysis to a large extent. The current paper focuses on, understanding the influence of data geometry in the feature subset selection process using random forest algorithm. In practice, it is assumed that the data follows normal distribution and most of the time, it may not be true. The dimensionality reduction varies, due to change in the distribution of the data. A comparison is made using three standard distributions such as Triangular, Uniform and Normal Distribution. The results are discussed in this paper.
Efficient Disease Classifier Using Data Mining Techniques: Refinement of Rand...IOSR Journals
The document describes research on improving the termination criteria for the random forest algorithm when classifying disease data. The random forest algorithm constructs a forest of decision trees to predict disease classification. Typically, random forest terminates tree construction based on accuracy and correlation metrics. The proposed method uses binomial distribution, multinomial distribution, and sequential probability ratio testing to determine when to terminate tree construction, with the goal of stopping earlier than typical random forest approaches. Experimental results on five disease datasets show the proposed method with probability distributions achieves better accuracy than classical random forest while constructing fewer trees, improving the efficiency of the algorithm.
IRJET- Missing Data Imputation by Evidence ChainIRJET Journal
This document presents a new method called "evidence chain" for imputing missing data. The method works as follows:
1. It first identifies missing data values marked as "-1" in a dataset.
2. It then combines attribute values associated with each missing data point to form "evidence chains" to estimate potential values.
3. It calculates possible values and their probabilities for each missing data point.
4. It checks if an evidence chain matches values in the data and uses the most probable or highest value to impute the missing data.
5. The imputed values replace the original missing values to complete the dataset. The method is implemented in an application that can generate test data with missing values.
This document discusses the importance of cherishing moments with people who care about you over superficial accomplishments. It asks the reader to name very wealthy or famous people, which is difficult, but to easily name teachers, friends, and people who make them feel special.

Surrogate marketing involves promoting a brand's harmful primary product like alcohol or cigarettes through advertising a secondary innocuous product. It originated in Britain and companies in India use it due to advertising bans on harmful products. Typical cases include Pan Parag promoting pan masala through water bottles and Bacardi promoting rum through music events. While it helps companies sell banned products and reminds consumers, it undermines advertising bans and can mislead children. The government and companies are at odds over it, with the need for stricter laws and enforcement to curb misleading ads.

The proposed method uses binomial distribution, multinomial distribution, and sequential probability ratio testing to determine when to terminate tree construction, with the goal of stopping earlier than typical random forest approaches. Experimental results on five disease datasets show the proposed method with probability distributions achieves better accuracy than classical random forest while constructing fewer trees, improving the efficiency of the algorithm.
IRJET- Missing Data Imputation by Evidence ChainIRJET Journal
This document presents a new method called "evidence chain" for imputing missing data. The method works as follows:
1. It first identifies missing data values marked as "-1" in a dataset.
2. It then combines attribute values associated with each missing data point to form "evidence chains" to estimate potential values.
3. It calculates possible values and their probabilities for each missing data point.
4. It checks if an evidence chain matches values in the data and uses the most probable or highest value to impute the missing data.
5. The imputed values replace the original missing values to complete the dataset. The method is implemented in an application that can generate test data with missing values.
This document discusses the importance of cherishing moments with people who care about you over superficial accomplishments. It asks the reader to name very wealthy or famous people, which is difficult, but to easily name teachers, friends, and people who make them feel special. It concludes that the people who matter aren't those with the most money or awards, but those who care about you, and to enjoy life's moments with those people since life is short.
Surrogate marketing involves promoting a brand's harmful primary product like alcohol or cigarettes through advertising a secondary innocuous product. It originated in Britain and companies in India use it due to advertising bans on harmful products. Typical cases include Pan Parag promoting pan masala through water bottles and Bacardi promoting rum through music events. While it helps companies sell banned products and reminds consumers, it undermines advertising bans and can mislead children. The government and companies are at odds over it, with the need for stricter laws and enforcement to curb misleading ads.
Product_relaunching_Heinz case study zeliya dsouza Zeliya Dsouza
Heinz Salad Cream was losing market share to mayonnaise. Research found Salad Cream was seen as outdated and only for salads. Heinz redesigned the packaging to look modern and launched a £10 million campaign promoting Salad Cream for any food. This included TV, radio, and online ads plus sampling. The goals were to attract younger consumers and position Salad Cream as a bold flavoring, not just a dressing. The repackaging and large promotional campaign helped increase Salad Cream sales among new demographics.
This document proposes using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with truncation for privacy-preserving data mining. The DWT decomposes data into approximation and detail coefficients. Truncating the detail coefficients distorts the data while maintaining statistical properties. An experiment shows the method effectively conceals sensitive information while preserving data mining performance after distortion.
This document discusses FDI in single brand and multi brand retail in India. It outlines the government policies that allow up to 100% FDI in single brand retail and 51% in multi brand retail, with requirements to source 30% of goods from India. The causes and effects of retail FDI are examined, including benefits like organized retail and tax revenue, as well as potential problems like competition with small retailers. Typical cases like IKEA and Bharti Walmart attempting to enter the Indian market are described.
This thesis investigates using truncated non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) as techniques for privacy-preserving data mining. The thesis assesses the privacy and utility of the perturbed data. For privacy, it uses existing metrics to measure the privacy after perturbation. For utility, it uses the accuracy of a k-nearest neighbor classifier on the perturbed data. Experimental results on real datasets show that these techniques improve both privacy and classification accuracy compared to the original data. The thesis also explores adding sparseness constraints to NMF and handling negative values. It further investigates estimating the original data values from the perturbed data using Bayesian estimation.
1) InBev inc and Anheuser-Busch companies inc merged to form AB InBev, the world's largest brewer, with a global market share of nearly 20%.
2) The merger was driven by struggling beer sales in developed markets and rising raw material costs, and allowed both companies to expand their geographic reach.
3) The combination generated significant cost savings and revenue synergies for AB InBev, enhancing its profitability and market dominance globally despite economic challenges.
Surrogate marketing involves promoting one product, such as alcohol or cigarettes, by extensively advertising another associated product. It aims to increase awareness for the primary product that faces advertising restrictions. While it helps companies sell restricted products and remain in consumers' minds, surrogate advertising misleads people, especially youth, and undermines advertising bans. Both industry and government have roles to play in addressing this issue through more precise laws, enforcement, and education.

It summarizes the mathematical models behind each classification algorithm, including Nearest Class Centroid classifier, Nearest Sub-Class Centroid classifier, k-Nearest Neighbor classifier, Perceptron trained using Backpropagation, and Perceptron trained using Mean Squared Error. It also describes two datasets used in the experiments - the MNIST dataset of handwritten digits and the ORL face recognition dataset. The performance of the five classification schemes are compared on these datasets.
This document summarizes a research paper titled "A Novel Algorithm for Design Tree Classification with PCA". It discusses dimensionality reduction techniques like principal component analysis (PCA) that can improve the efficiency of classification algorithms on high-dimensional data. PCA transforms data to a new coordinate system such that the greatest variance by any projection of the data comes to lie on the first coordinate, called the first principal component. The paper proposes applying PCA and linear transformation on an original dataset before using a decision tree classification algorithm, in order to get better classification results.
This document discusses and compares five predictive data mining techniques: principal component analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, principal component regression, nonlinear partial least squares, and linear regression. It first provides background on data acquisition, preparation, and preprocessing techniques. It then describes each predictive technique, including how they handle issues like collinearity in datasets. Finally, it discusses how these techniques will be applied to four different datasets and the results compared to determine which technique best predicts the response variable while reducing variables.
An Efficient Frame Embedding Using Haar Wavelet Coefficients And Orthogonal C...IJERA Editor
Digital media, applications, copyright defense, and multimedia security have become a vital aspect of our daily life. Digital watermarking is a technology used for the copyright security of digital applications. In this work we have dealt with a process able to mark digital pictures with a visible and semi invisible hided information, called watermark. This process may be the basis of a complete copyright protection system. Watermarking is implemented here using Haar Wavelet Coefficients and Principal Component analysis. Experimental results show high imperceptibility where there is no noticeable difference between the watermarked video frames and the original frame in case of invisible watermarking, vice-versa for semi visible implementation. The watermark is embedded in lower frequency band of Wavelet Transformed cover image. The combination of the two transform algorithm has been found to improve performance of the watermark algorithm. The robustness of the watermarking scheme is analyzed by means of two distinct performance measures viz. Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Normalized Coefficient (NC).
Hybrid Method HVS-MRMR for Variable Selection in Multilayer Artificial Neural...IJECEIAES
The variable selection is an important technique the reducing dimensionality of data frequently used in data preprocessing for performing data mining. This paper presents a new variable selection algorithm uses the heuristic variable selection (HVS) and Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR). We enhance the HVS method for variab le selection by incorporating (MRMR) filter. Our algorithm is based on wrapper approach using multi-layer perceptron. We called this algorithm a HVS-MRMR Wrapper for variables selection. The relevance of a set of variables is measured by a convex combination of the relevance given by HVS criterion and the MRMR criterion. This approach selects new relevant variables; we evaluate the performance of HVS-MRMR on eight benchmark classification problems. The experimental results show that HVS-MRMR selected a less number of variables with high classification accuracy compared to MRMR and HVS and without variables selection on most datasets. HVS-MRMR can be applied to various classification problems that require high classification accuracy.
Clustering heterogeneous categorical data using enhanced mini batch K-means ...IJECEIAES
This document presents a proposed framework called MBKEM (Mini Batch K-means with Entropy Measure) for clustering heterogeneous categorical data. MBKEM uses an entropy distance measure within a mini batch k-means algorithm. The framework is evaluated using secondary data from a public survey. Evaluation metrics show MBKEM outperforms other clustering algorithms with high accuracy, v-measure, adjusted rand index, and Fowlkes-Mallow's index. MBKEM also has faster average cluster generation time than other methods. The proposed framework provides an improved solution for clustering heterogeneous categorical data.
This document summarizes research on improving image classification results using neural networks. It compares common image classification methods like support vector machines (SVM) and K-nearest neighbors (KNN). It then evaluates the performance of multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks on image classification. The document tests various configurations of MLP and RBF networks on a dataset containing 2310 images across 7 classes. It finds that a MLP network with two hidden layers of 10 neurons each achieves the best results, with an average accuracy of 98.84%. This is significantly higher than the 84.47% average accuracy of RBF networks and outperforms KNN classification as well. The research concludes that neural
TUPLE VALUE BASED MULTIPLICATIVE DATA PERTURBATION APPROACH TO PRESERVE PRIVA...IJDKP
Huge volume of data from domain specific applications such as medical, financial, library, telephone,
shopping records and individual are regularly generated. Sharing of these data is proved to be beneficial
for data mining application. On one hand such data is an important asset to business decision making by
analyzing it. On the other hand data privacy concerns may prevent data owners from sharing information
for data analysis. In order to share data while preserving privacy, data owner must come up with a solution
which achieves the dual goal of privacy preservation as well as an accuracy of data mining task –
clustering and classification. An efficient and effective approach has been proposed that aims to protect
privacy of sensitive information and obtaining data clustering with minimum information loss
This document summarizes an empirical study comparing several supervised machine learning approaches for word sense disambiguation: Naive Bayes, decision tree, decision list, and support vector machine (SVM). The study used a dataset of 15 words annotated with senses from WordNet and Senseval-3. Each approach was implemented and evaluated based on its accuracy in identifying the correct sense of each word. The results showed that the decision list approach achieved the highest overall accuracy of 69.12%, followed by SVM at 56.11%, naive Bayes at 58.32%, and decision tree at 45.14%. Thus, the study concluded that decision list performed best on this dataset for the task of word sense disambiguation.
Influence over the Dimensionality Reduction and Clustering for Air Quality Me...IJAEMSJORNAL
The current trend in the industry is to analyze large data sets and apply data mining, machine learning techniques to identify a pattern. But the challenges with huge data sets are the high dimensions associated with it. Sometimes in data analytics applications, large amounts of data produce worse performance. Also, most of the data mining algorithms are implemented column wise and too many columns restrict the performance and make it slower. Therefore, dimensionality reduction is an important step in data analysis. Dimensionality reduction is a technique that converts high dimensional data into much lower dimension, such that maximum variance is explained within the first few dimensions. This paper focuses on multivariate statistical and artificial neural networks techniques for data reduction. Each method has a different rationale to preserve the relationship between input parameters during analysis. Principal Component Analysis which is a multivariate technique and Self Organising Map a neural network technique is presented in this paper. Also, a hierarchical clustering approach has been applied to the reduced data set. A case study of Air quality measurement has been considered to evaluate the performance of the proposed techniques.

2. negative matrix factorization requires all entries of both
matrices to be non negative, i.e., the data is described by using
additive components only. In section 5 we show how to deal
with datasets with both positive and negative attributes.
NMF with Sparseness Constraint
Several measures for sparseness have been proposed. In this
work, the sparseness of a vector X of dimension n is given by
[8]:
( )

Usually, most of NMF algorithms produce a sparse
representation of the data. Such a representation encodes much
of the data using few active components. However, the
sparseness given by these techniques can be considered as a
side-effect rather than a controlled parameter, i.e., one cannot in
any way control the degree to which the representation is
sparse.
Our aim is to constrain NMF to find solutions with desired
degrees of sparseness. The sparseness constraint can be
imposed on either W or H or on both of them. For example, a
doctor analyzing a dataset that describes disease patterns, might
assume that most diseases are rare (hence sparse) but that each
disease can cause a large number of symptoms. Assuming that
symptoms make up the rows of her matrix and the columns
denote different individuals, in this case it is the coefficients
which should be sparse and the basis vectors unconstrained.
Throughout our work, we used the projected gradient descent
algorithm for NMF with sparseness constraints proposed in [8]
where we added the sparse constraint only on the H matrix.
Truncation on NMF with Sparseness Constraint
In order to control the degree of achievable data distortion, the
elements in the sparsified H matrix with values less than a
specified truncation threshold ε are truncated to zero.
Thus the overall data distortion can be summarized as follows:
(i) Perform sparsified NMF with sparse constraint hs on H to
obtain hSH (ii) Truncate the elements in hSH that are less
than ε to obtain ε,hSH . The perturbed dataset is given by
ε,hSWH .
Thus the new dataset is basically distorted twice by our
proposed algorithm that has three parameters: the reduced rank
m , the sparseness parameter hs and the truncation threshold
ε .
3. DATA DISTORTION MEASURES
Throughout this work, we adopt the same set of privacy
parameters proposed in [6]. The value difference (VD)
parameter is used as a measure for value difference after the
data distortion algorithm is applied to the original data
matrix. Let V and V denote the original and distorted data
matrices respectively. Then, VD is given by
||||/|||| VVVVD −= ,
where ||||⋅ denotes the Frobenius norm of the enclosed
argument.
After a data distortion, the order of the value of the data
elements also changes. Several metrics are used to measure
the position difference of the data elements. For a dataset V
with n data object and m attributes, let i
jRank denote the
rank (in ascending order) of the jth
element in attribute i.
Similarly, let i
jRank denote the rank of the
corresponding distorted element. The RP parameter is used
to measure the position difference. It indicates the average
change of rank for all attributes after distortion and is given
by

Similarly, the CP parameter is used to measure how the rank
of the average value of each attributes varies after the data
distortion. In particular, CP defines the change of rank of the
average value of the attributes and is given by

where iRankVV , and iRankVV denote the rank of the
average value of the ith

Similar to RK, CK is used to measure the percentage of the
attributes that keep their ranks of average value after
distortion.
From the data privacy perspective, a good data distortion
algorithm should result in a high values for the RP and CP
parameters and low values for the RK and CK parameters.
4. UTILITY MEASURE
The data utility measures assess whether the dataset keeps
the performance of data mining techniques after the data
distortion. Throughout this work, we use the accuracy of a
simple K-nearest neighborhood (KNN) [11] as our data utility
measure.
5. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
In order to test the performance of our proposed
method, we conducted a series of experiments on some real
3. world datasets. In this section, we present a sample of the
results obtained when applying our technique to the original
Wisconsin breast cancer and ionosphere databases
downloaded from UCI machine Learning Repository [10].
For the breast cancer database, we used 569 observations and
30 attributes (with positive values) to perform our
experiment. For the classification task, 80% of the data was
used for training and the other 20% was used for testing.
Throughout our experiments, we set K=30 for the KNN
classifier. The corresponding classification accuracy on the
original dataset is 92.11%. Figure 1 shows the effect of the
reduced rank m on the privacy parameters.
From the Figure 1, it is clear that 2=m provides the best
choice with respect to the privacy parameters. So, we fixed
2=m throughout the rest of our experiments with this
dataset.

Dealing with negative values:
Throughout the rest of this section we show how to use the
above technique to perform data perturbation for datasets with
both positive and negative values. Two approaches were used
to deal with this situation. In the first approach, we take the
absolute value of all the attributes, perform the data
perturbation using the NMF as described above, and then
restore the sign of the attributes from the original data set. In
the second approach, we bias the data with some constant so
that all the attributes become positive. After performing the
data perturbation, the value of this constant is subtracted from
the perturbed data.
To test the above two approaches, we used the ionosphere
database (351 observation and 35 attributes in the range of -1 to
+1). The first 200 instances were used as training data and other
151 were used as test data. We set K=13 for the KNN classifier.
The corresponding classification accuracy on the original
dataset is 93.38%.
When using the first approach, the best classification result
(93.37%) was obtained on the NMF data with reduced rank
16=m . Table 3 shows the corresponding privacy parameters.

6. CONCLUSIONS
Non-negative matrix factorization with sparseness
constraints provides an effective data perturbation tool for
privacy preserving data mining.
On the other hand, while the privacy parameters used in this
work provide some indication on the ability of these techniques
to hide the original data values, it is interesting to quantitatively
relate these parameters to the actual work required break these
data perturbation techniques.
