Extraction d'itemsets compacts

Résumé. L’extraction d’itemsets fréquents est un sujet majeur de l’ECD et son but est de découvrir des corrélations entre les enregistrements d’un ensemble de données. Cependant, le support est calculé en fonction de la taille de la base dans son intégralité. Dans cet article, nous montrons qu’il est possible de prendre en compte des périodes difficiles à déceler dans l’organisation des données...

Introduction to Global Optimization

Accurate modelling of real-world problems often requires nonconvex terms to be introduced in the model, either in the objective function or in the constraints. Nonconvex programming is one of the hardest fields of optimization, presenting many challenges in both practical and theoretical aspects. The presence of multiple local minima calls for the application of global optimization techniques. ...

The paper argues that there is a problematic polarisation in urban studies between research on ‘global’ cities and work on presumably ‘non-global’ cities. The existing geographical literature on scale, place and uneven de...
