Many scientific and engineering applications generate data that are well-suited to be studied using time series charts. Two types of time series that define input, output, and state dynamics of DEVS models are piecewi...

Subspace-based analysis has increasingly become the preferred method for clustering high-dimensional data. A visually interactive exploration of subspaces and clusters is a cyclic process. Every meaningful discovery will motivate users to re-search subspaces that can provide improved clustering results and reveal the relationships among clusters that can hardly coexist in the original subspaces. However, the combination of dimensions from the original subspaces is not always effective in finding the expected subspaces. In this study, we present an approach that enables users to reconstruct new dimensions from the data projections of subspaces to preserve interesting cluster information. The reconstructed dimensions are included into an analytical workflow with the original dimensions to help users construct target-oriented subspaces which clearly display informative cluster structures. We also provide a visualization tool that assists users in the exploration of subspace clusters by utilizing dimension reconstruction. Several case studies on synthetic and real-world data sets have been performed to prove the effectiveness of our approach. Lastly, further evaluation of the approach has been conducted via expert reviews.
We describe a unified active transfer learning framework called Hierarchical Active Transfer Learning (HATL). HATL exploits cluster structure shared between different data domains to perform transfer learning by imput...

Network analysis has been shown to be an effective and cheap way to screen genes that are associated to diseases and chemicals. The identification of features that are used to order potentially related genes is key to do this job. Though many network models and structure based features have been proposed in the literature, they do not perform well enough for such gene prioritization task, especially when the heterogeneity of such networks is taken account. In this paper, a type of heterogeneous network called Generalized Bi-relational Network (GBN) is formalized. A series of path based features on GBN are defined. Though some of the features have been used in other literature, it is the first time to evaluate them in both supervised and unsupervised learning models. The experiment on real chemical-disease-gene networks shows that the features proposed in this paper gain promising performance in both supervised and unsupervised framework.

In this paper, we modelled constructive engagement activities in an online programming discußion. We built a logistic regreßion model based on the underlined cognitive proceßes in constructive learning activities. The findings supported that there is paßive-proactive behaviour and suggested that detecting constructive content can be a helpful claßifier in discerning relevant information to the users and in turn creating opportunities to optimize learning. The results also confirmed the value of discußion forum content, disregarding the crowd approves or not.

This paper presents INSIGHT, a visual analytics web application, designed to induce & inspire programming language learning from discussion forums. The visual analytics, extracts and displays semantic content from 'Stack Exchange' in a form of bubble chart. The bubbles represent summarized semantic concepts from the forum posts and outlines the concept specificity of each individual post. The discussion forum content are modeled as concepts based on an innovative Topic Facet Modeling algorithm (a probabilistic topic model that assumes all words in single sentence are generated from one topic facet), and aimed to provide better understanding and solicitation of the increasing large volume of discussion content. We hypothesize that by navigating and interacting (browsing, sorting, searching etc.) with the Facets, will enhance learning. A comprehensive system design rationales and preliminary qualitative study are reported in this paper.

This study presents a reinforcement learning approach for the optimization of the proportional-integral gains of the feedback controller represented in a computational model of epilepsy. The chaotic oscillator model provides a feedback control systems view of the dynamics of an epileptic brain with an internal feedback controller representative of the natural seizure suppression mechanism within the brain circuitry. Normal and pathological brain activity is simulated in this model by adjusting the feedback gain values of the internal controller. With insufficient gains, the internal controller cannot provide enough feedback to the brain dynamics causing an increase in correlation between different brain sites. This increase in synchronization results in the destabilization of the brain dynamics, which is representative of an epileptic seizure. To provide compensation for an insufficient internal controller an external controller is designed using proportional-integral feedback control strategy. A cross-entropy optimization algorithm is applied to the chaotic oscillator network model to learn the optimal feedback gains for the external controller instead of hand-tuning the gains to provide sufficient control to the pathological brain and prevent seizure generation. The correlation between the dynamics of neural activity within different brain sites is calculated for experimental data to show similar dynamics of epileptic neural activity as simulated by the network of chaotic oscillators.

We study some statistical properties for the behavior of the average squared velocity—hence the temperature—for an ensemble of classical particles moving in a billiard whose boundary is time dependent. We assume the collisions of the particles with the boundary of the billiard are inelastic, leading the average squared velocity to reach a steady-state dynamics for large enough time. The description of the stationary state is made by using two different approaches: (i) heat transfer motivated by the Fourier law and (ii) billiard dynamics using either numerical simulations and theoretical description.
