  Difference histograms: a new tool for time series analysis applied to bearing fault diagnosis
van Wyk B., van Wyk M., Qi G. Pattern Recognition Letters 30(6): 595-599, 2009.  Type: Article

This paper uses difference histograms to provide features for input into an algorithm (a classifier) for identifying rolling element bearing failures. The authors’ feature/classifier combination is compared to previously publ...

  Multimedia data mining: a systematic introduction to concepts and theory
Zhang Z., Zhang R., Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2008. 320 pp.  Type: Book (9781584889663)

I found the title of this book off-putting because of the co-occurrence of two diffuse multidisciplinary and, at various times, overhyped research areas: multimedia and data mining. I needn’t have worried, for t...

  Survey of text mining II: clustering, classification, and retrieval
Berry M., Castellanos M., Springer, 2008. 240 pp.  Type: Book

Text mining is a collection of approaches to “organize, classify, label, and extract relevant information” from text. This broad term covers many approaches not covered by this book, such as old-fashioned card catal...

   Bayesian core: a practical approach to computational Bayesian statistics
Marin J., Robert C., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, 2007. 255 pp.  Type: Book (9780387389837)

This book’s title captures its focus. It is a textbook covering the core statistical models from both a Bayesian viewpoint and a computational viewpoint. The book’s structure is similar for each core model covered. ...

  Mathematical linguistics (Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing)
Kornai A., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2007. 290 pp.  Type: Book (9781846289859)

This is a remarkable book on the mathematics used for linguistics. It is remarkable because it provides a coherent, well-written view of the math required to model the structure of language as used in the main branches of linguistics: ...

  Data mining using SAS Enterprise Miner
Matignon R., Wiley-Interscience, 2007.  Type: Book (9780470149010)

SAS Enterprise Miner (EM) is a leading commercial software product for data mining. Books about this product have a ready-made audience of existing users and perhaps future users seeking a guide to the software’s functionalit...

  Patterns based classifiers
Ramamohanarao K., Fan H. World Wide Web 10(1): 71-83, 2007.  Type: Article

An expression that describes a subset of data is defined as a pattern. This paper presents the key results and applications for emerging patterns (EPs). EPs are related to the broader data mining algorithm family of association rules. ...

  Digital document processing: major directions and recent advances (Advances in Pattern Recognition)
Chaudhuri B., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2006. 468 pp.  Type: Book (9781846285011)

Document processing is not just optical character recognition (OCR). This book demonstrates this with topics as diverse as the problem of writer analysis in the forensic field to the processing of mathematical expressions. However, OCR...

  Data complexity in pattern recognition
Basu M., Ho T., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2006.  Type: Book (9781846281716)

A classifier problem is a problem where a classifier, such as a decision tree, infers a decision boundary from a set of training examples. Until recently, most classifier research has focused on classifier design, where tremendous adva...

  Canadian semantic Web (Semantic Web and Beyond: Computing for Human Experience)
Koné M., Lemire D., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2006. 232 pp.  Type: Book (9780387298153)

The semantic Web refers to the development of tools, languages, and methodologies for machine-readable Internet content. The state of current research into the semantic Web reminds me of the research in the 1980s into interoperable net...
