Increasing Concerns On-Land Mining Faces

Mining Coastal Land Use Sequential Pattern and Its Land Use Associations Based on Association Rule Mining

Research on the land use of the coastal zone in the sea–land direction will not only reveal its land use distribution, but may also indicate the interactions between inland land use and the ocean through associations between inland land use and seaward land use indirectly. However, in the existing research, few have paid attention to the land use in sea–land direction, let alone the sequential ...

Salt intake in children: increasing concerns?

Salt Intake in Children: Increasing Concerns? To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by He and MacGregor1 concerning the effect of salt intake on blood pressure in children. Their meta-analysis shows that salt reduction in children causes a fall in blood pressure, which may have serious implications. The authors state that current salt intake in children is largely unknown but i...

Increasing 3D Resolution of Kinect Faces

Performing face recognition across 3D scans of different resolution is now attracting an increasing interest thanks to the introduction of a new generation of depth cameras, capable of acquiring color/depth images over time. However, these devices have still a much lower resolution than the 3D high-resolution scanners typically used for face recognition applications. Due to this, comparing lowa...

On Addressing Accuracy Concerns in Privacy Preserving Association Rule Mining

On Addressing Efficiency Concerns in Privacy Preserving Data Mining

Data mining services require accurate input data for their results to be meaningful, but privacy concerns may influence users to provide spurious information. To encourage users to provide correct inputs, we recently proposed a data distortion scheme for association rule mining that simultaneously provides both privacy to the user and accuracy in the mining results. However, mining the distorte...
