    On the extraction of the channel allocation information in spectrum pooling systems
    (IEEE, 2007-04) Öner, Mustafa Mengüç; Jondral, Friedrich K.
    The spectrum pooling strategy allows a license owner to share a part of his licensed spectrum with a secondary wireless system (the rental system, RS) during its idle times. The coexistence of two mobile systems on the same frequency band poses many new challenges, one of which is the reliable extraction of the channel allocation information (CAI), i.e. the channel occupation of the licensed system (LS). This paper presents a strategy for the extraction of the CAI based on exploiting the distinct cyclostationary characteristics of the LS and RS signals and demonstrates, via simulations, its application on a specific spectrum pooling scenario, where the LS is a GSM network and the RS is an OFDM based WLAN system.

    Mobile applications discovery: a subscriber-centric approach
    (Wiley Periodicals, 2011-03) Erman, Bilgehan; İnan, Ali; Nagarajan, Ramesh; Uzunalioğlu, Hüseyin
    Rapid adoption of smartphones and the business success of the Apple App Store have resulted in the rampant growth of mobile applications. Seeking new revenue opportunities from application development has created a gold rush. However, free or very cheap applications constitute a great bulk of the application downloads putting great pricing pressure on the developers. Furthermore, usage statistics suggest that most of the applications have been either one-trick applications or are downright useless, meriting no attention from the user beyond the first day. This is not surprising since cheap prices will dissuade developers from investing large sums of money to continue to develop more sophisticated, high quality applications. Developers have been complaining about the lack of visibility of their applications in stores that are beginning to resemble a high volume warehouse. It is clear that enhancing application discovery and building better marketing tools will be essential for the continued success of the mobile application marketplace and application stores. This paper proposes and investigates techniques for effective discovery of applications by matching user interests with application characteristics, with a special focus on adapting classical data mining techniques to user ratings of the applications. The user ratings are leveraged to make recommendations on potential applications of interest.

    Parallel univariate decision trees
    (Elsevier B.V., 2007-05-01) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Dikmen, Onur
    Univariate decision tree algorithms are widely used in data mining because (i) they are easy to learn (ii) when trained they can be expressed in rule based manner. In several applications mainly including data mining, the dataset to be learned is very large. In those cases it is highly desirable to construct univariate decision trees in reasonable time. This may be accomplished by parallelizing univariate decision tree algorithms. In this paper, we first present two different univariate decision tree algorithms C4.5 and univariate linear discriminant tree. We show how to parallelize these algorithms in three ways: (i) feature based; (ii) node based; (iii) data based manners. Experimental results show that performance of the parallelizations highly depend on the dataset and the node based parallelization demonstrate good speedups.

    Re-mining item associations: Methodology and a case study in apparel retailing
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2011-12) Demiriz, Ayhan; Ertek, Gürdal; Atan, Sabri Tankut; Kula, Ufuk
    Association mining is the conventional data mining technique for analyzing market basket data and it reveals the positive and negative associations between items. While being an integral part of transaction data, pricing and time information have not been integrated into market basket analysis in earlier studies. This paper proposes a new approach to mine price, time and domain related attributes through re-mining of association mining results. The underlying factors behind positive and negative relationships can be characterized and described through this second data mining stage. The applicability of the methodology is demonstrated through the analysis of data coming from a large apparel retail chain, and its algorithmic complexity is analyzed in comparison to the existing techniques.
