Ever increasing amount of data has led to the fact that the data quality has had a crucial impact on almost any IT applications. Nonetheless, data quality issues are nearly omnipresent. Recently, a great deal of researches has focused on improving data quality. Bad quality of the data can cause incorrect decision making. It is normally infeasible to guarantee sufficient data quality through man...

Drug addiction is a major social, economic, and hygienic challenge that impacts on all the community and needs serious threat. Available treatments are successful only in short-term unless underlying reasons making individuals prone to the phenomenon are not investigated. Nowadays, there are some treatment centers which have comprehensive information about addicted people. Therefore, given the ...

In multi-target visual tracking, tracking failure due to missassociation can often arise from the presence of occlusions between targets. To cope with this problem, we propose the predictive estimation method that iterates occlusion prediction and occlusion status update using occlusion activity detection by utilizing joint probabilistic data association filter in order to track each target bef...

Temporal association rule mining promises the ability to discover time-dependent correlations or patterns between events in large volumes of data. To date, most temporal data mining research has focused on events existing at a point in time rather than over a temporal interval. In comparison to static rules, mining with respect to time points provides semantically richer rules. However, accommo...

It is generally believed that data mining results do not violate the anonymity of the individuals recorded in the source database. In fact, data mining models and patterns, in order to ensure a required statistical significance, represent a large number of individuals and thus conceal individual identities: this is the case of the minimum support threshold in association rule mining. In this pa...

From ancient period in India, educational institution embarked to use class room teaching. Where a teacher explains the material and students understand and learn the lesson.
