Abstract:
Clustering of sequences is relatively less explored but it is becoming increasingly important in data mining applications such as web usage mining and bioinformatics. The web user segmentation problem uses web access log files to partition a set of users into clusters such that users within one cluster are more similar to one another than to the users in other clusters. Similarly, grouping protein sequences that share a similar structure can help to identify sequences with similar functions. However, few clustering algorithms consider sequentiality.

Abstract:
Clustering is a complex unsupervised method used to group most similar observations of a given dataset within the same cluster. To guarantee high efficiency, the clustering process should ensure high accuracy and low complexity. Many clustering methods were developed in various fields depending on the type of application and the data type considered. Categorical clustering considers segmenting a dataset in which the data are categorical and were widely used in many real-world applications. Thus several methods were developed including hard, fuzzy and rough set-based methods. In this survey, mo

This algorithm finds anomalies based on infrequent itemsets in each record. These outliers are generated by Apriori property on each record values in datasets.

This article presents a categorical method for analyzing the complex processes of personal identity.

The heterogeneous coupling relationships between features and feature values reflect the characteristics of the real-world categorical data which need to be captured in the representations. The paper proposes an enhanced categorical data embedding method, i.e., CDE++, which captures the heterogeneous feature value coupling relationships into the representations. Based on information theory and the hierarchical couplings defined in our previo

Abstract:
In the present work, we show how the study of categorical constructions does not have to be done with all the objects of the category, but we can restrict ourselves to work with families of generators. Thus, universal properties can be characterized through iterated families of generators, which leads us in particular to an alternative version of the adjoint functor theorem. Similarly, the properties of relations or subobjects algebra can be investigated by this method. We end with a result that relates various forms of compactness through representable functors of generators.
