TL;DR: It is demonstrated how a naive classifier considering the temporal component only outperforms a lot of current state-of-the-art classifiers on real data streams that have temporal dependence, i.e. data is autocorrelated.
Abstract: Data stream classification plays an important role in modern data analysis, where data arrives in a stream and needs to be mined in real time. In the data stream setting the underlying distribution from which this data comes may be changing and evolving, and so classifiers that can update themselves during operation are becoming the state-of-the-art. In this paper we show that data streams may have an important temporal component, which currently is not considered in the evaluation and benchmarking of data stream classifiers. We demonstrate how a naive classifier considering the temporal component only outperforms a lot of current state-of-the-art classifiers on real data streams that have temporal dependence, i.e. data is autocorrelated. We propose to evaluate data stream classifiers taking into account temporal dependence, and introduce a new evaluation measure, which provides a more accurate gauge of data stream classifier performance. In response to the temporal dependence issue we propose a generic wrapper for data stream classifiers, which incorporates the temporal component into the attribute space.

TL;DR: Results formally confirm the expectations of the rheumatology community that SNP information does not significantly improve predictive performance relative to standard clinical traits, thereby justifying a refocusing of future efforts on collection of other data.
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects millions world-wide. While anti-TNF treatment is widely used to reduce disease progression, treatment fails in ∼one-third of patients. No biomarker currently exists that identifies non-responders before treatment. A rigorous community-based assessment of the utility of SNP data for predicting anti-TNF treatment efficacy in RA patients was performed in the context of a DREAM Challenge (http://www.synapse.org/RA_Challenge). An open challenge framework enabled the comparative evaluation of predictions developed by 73 research groups using the most comprehensive available data and covering a wide range of state-of-the-art modelling methodologies. Despite a significant genetic heritability estimate of treatment non-response trait (h(2)=0.18, P value=0.02), no significant genetic contribution to prediction accuracy is observed. Results formally confirm the expectations of the rheumatology community that SNP information does not significantly improve predictive performance relative to standard clinical traits, thereby justifying a refocusing of future efforts on collection of other data.

TL;DR: This article examined the phenomenon from a sociological perspective, aiming to understand how some media representations come to be perceived as virtual commodities, what motivations individuals have for spending money on these commodities, and how the resulting virtual consumerism relates to consumer culture at large.
Abstract: Selling virtual items for real money is increasingly being used as a revenue model in games and other online services. To some parents and authorities, this has been a shock: previously innocuous ‘consumption games’ suddenly seem to be enticing players into giving away their money for nothing. In this article, we examine the phenomenon from a sociological perspective, aiming to understand how some media representations come to be perceived as ‘virtual commodities’, what motivations individuals have for spending money on these commodities, and how the resulting ‘virtual consumerism’ relates to consumer culture at large. The discussion is based on a study of everyday practices and culture in Habbo Hotel, a popular massively-multiuser online environment permeated with virtual items. Our results suggest that virtual commodities can act in essentially the same social roles as material goods, leading us to ask whether ecologically sustainable virtual consumption could be a substitute to material consumerism in ...

14 Jun 2011TL;DR: A semi-supervised manifold learning technique for building accurate radio maps from partially labeled data, where only a small portion of the signal strength measurements need to be tagged with the corresponding coordinates, thereby dramatically reducing the need of location-tagged data.
Abstract: Currently the most accurate WLAN positioning systems are based on the fingerprinting approach, where a "radio map" is constructed by modeling how the signal strength measurements vary according to the location. However, collecting a sufficient amount of location-tagged training data is a rather tedious and time consuming task, especially in indoor scenarios -- the main application area of WLAN positioning -- where GPS coverage is unavailable. To alleviate this problem, we present a semi-supervised manifold learning technique for building accurate radio maps from partially labeled data, where only a small portion of the signal strength measurements need to be tagged with the corresponding coordinates. The basic idea is to construct a non-linear projection that maps high-dimensional signal fingerprints onto a two-dimensional manifold, thereby dramatically reducing the need of location-tagged data. Our results from a deployment in a real-world experiment demonstrate the practical utility of the method.

TL;DR: It is shown that the traveling salesman problem in bounded-degree graphs can be solved in time O((2-ε)n), where ε > 0 depends only on the degree bound but not on the number of cities.
Abstract: We show that the traveling salesman problem in bounded-degree graphs can be solved in time O((2-e)n), where e > 0 depends only on the degree bound but not on the number of cities, n. The algorithm is a variant of the classical dynamic programming solution due to Bellman, and, independently, Held and Karp. In the case of bounded integer weights on the edges, we also give a polynomial-space algorithm with running time O((2-e)n) on bounded-degree graphs. In addition, we present an analogous analysis of Ryser's algorithm for the permanent of matrices with a bounded number of nonzero entries in each column.
