Data mining

Abstract— Bag of words model (BOW),which was originally used for document classification has been introduced to computer vision field recently and used in object recognition successfully. The bag of words model to the face recognition which can robustly give excellent performance in recognizing the face under various conditions like illumination, pose variation ,facial expression and occlusions. The scale Invariant Feature Transform is used for extracting the features from the face and SVM…

demographic data parsed through their predictive models, moreover they could presume the gender of the child and the progress of the pregnancy. The recent use of big data and data mining for business, personal and security related advantages have had questionable ethics between consumers and enterprises alike. However, the definitive benefits produced by big data undoubtedly exceed the potential risks that may present themselves over time. The collection and processing of substantial volumes of…

Predictive analysis is the process in the advanced analytics field which predicts the unknown scenarios in future. It uses lot of techniques like machine learning, data mining, probability and statistics, IT, data management etc. It brings down the results of previous input data searches and manages to understand the connections between the data thus identifying all the opportunities and risks of future which is unknown. It is a process of seven steps which helps an organization to be anticipate…

Chile extends from a latitude of 17 degree south to Cape Horn at 56 degree between Andes and the Pacific Ocean. (Smith, 1904). The country extends more than 4,000 km from north to south while only around 170 km from east to west. According to the data, around 80% of the country’s interior land is covered by mountains, with the snowcapped Andes covering almost all of its eastern boarder (World Atlas). The south Chile is one of the world’s rainiest area; while in the central Chile, the temperate…

Big Data you will notice big corporations like IBM, SAS, Oracle providing enterprise solutions with punch lines “Transform Your Business” and “Big Data Can Generate Big Brainstorms” promising business growth. The reality behind investing in Big Data analytics is still hidden. Today we have the tools to analyze massive amount of data but we still lack the expertise to derive correlations from it. In the public realm finding relation between health and air pollution can be an example of Big Data…

critical thinking skills through improving and completing the initial model. For instance, in a senior level course in “Mine design project” I start the class with the statement of the problem which is typically maximizing the net present value of a mining case study. First, I encourage the whole class to construct the building blocks of a conceptual model for the problem at hand through a series of “brain storming” sessions. Second, I divide the students into several groups and assign them the…

This is because many previous studies showed that networks of human travel patterns have a big impact on the spread of different arboviral diseases. Hence, by employing the United States air travel passenger information data, through an open-source software Gephi, network parameters of human travel patterns like degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality and hubs were…

bilateral aid to DRC in 2016, along with $166 million in emergency assistance. Targeted sanctions under Executive Order 13413 (2006) focus on human rights issues such as sexual violence and child soldiers, both of which are exacerbated by conflict mineral mining and trade. As Obama, himself, has noted – the most immediate challenge to any U.S. – Congo policy is the complexity and extensiveness of Eastern DRC’s conflicts, which continue to prevent any sort of policy-based interventions…
