In recent years, data collection and data mining have emerged as fast-paced computational processes as the amount of data from different sources has increased manifold. With the advent of such technologies, major concern is exposure of an individual's self-contained information. To confront the unusual situation, anonymization of dataset is performed before being released into public for further usage. The chapter discusses various existing techniques of anonymization. Thereafter, a novel redaction technique is proposed for generalization to minimize the overall cost (penalty) of the process being inversely proportional to utility of generated dataset. To validate the proposed work, authors assume a pre-processed dataset and further compare our algorithm with existing techniques. Lastly, the proposed technique is made scalable thus ensuring further minimization of generalization cost and improving overall utility of information gain.

Traffic crash fatalities and serious injuries still represent a big burden for most Arab countries because the actual policies, strategies, and interventions are based on poorly collected data. Through this paper, we assessed the crash data reporting systems in Fourteen Arab countries via a survey conducted to identify the fundamental dysfunctions at the management and data collection levels. Then, to address some of the dataset problems, we had applied data mining technics to select a minimum of variables (crash, vehicle, and road user) that should be collected for a better understanding of crash circumstances. For this raison, three methods of selection (correlation, information gain, and gain ratio) and seven classifiers (naive Bayes, nearest neighbour, random forest, random tree, J48, reduced error pruning tree, and bagging) were tested and compared to identify the variables that affect significantly the crashes severity. Decision trees family of classifiers showed the best performance based on the analysis of the area under the curve. The explanatory variables obtained from the data mining process were combined with other descriptive variables to maintain traceability. As a result, we produced hybrid lists of variables for the crash, vehicle, and road user, each contains 25 variables. Finally, in order to propose a cost-effective solution to switch from manual to electronic data collection, we got inspired by a tool used to track animals to create and customize a unified e-form for handheld devices, in order to ensure easy entering of the harmonized data for the entire region based on our selected lists of variables. The tool verified the countries requirements especially by enabling data collection and transfer with and without the internet, and by allowing data analysis thought its built-in Geographic Information System (GIS) capabilities.


The improvement of an information processing and Memory capacity, the vast amount of data is collected for various data analyses purposes. Data mining techniques are used to get knowledgeable information. The process of extraction of data by using data mining techniques the data get discovered publically and this leads to breaches of specific privacy data. Privacypreserving data mining is used to provide to protection of sensitive information from unwanted or unsanctioned disclosure. In this paper, we analysis the problem of discovering similarity checks for functional dependencies from a given dataset such that application of algorithm (l, d) inference with generalization can anonymised the micro data without loss in utility. [8] This work has presented Functional dependency based perturbation approach which hides sensitive information from the user, by applying (l, d) inference model on the dependency attributes based on Information Gain. This approach works on both categorical and numerical attributes. The perturbed data set does not affects the original dataset it maintains the same or very comparable patterns as the original data set. Hence the utility of the application is always high, when compared to other data mining techniques. The accuracy of the original and perturbed datasets is compared and analysed using tools, data mining classification algorithm.

<p>This study analyses the effects of Big Data visualisations on jurors’ decisions in audit litigation cases. Specifically, the study investigates the effects of different types of Big Data visualisations (word clouds or bar graphs) and different sources of Big Data (emails or social media posts) on jurors’ perceptions of auditors’ work and the size of the negligence awards that jurors recommend. The study theorises that the emotions elicited and the reliability of the data used to create visualisations such as word clouds will have dramatic effects on jury verdicts in audit negligence trials. There is considerable literature to support this assertion. However, after data collection, it was discovered that jurors are not influenced by the emotions elicited by visualisations. Rather, participants were very sceptical of more novel types of visualisations, such as word clouds, but could be persuaded by the inherent emotions elicited and the reliability of the data if they found the visualisation useful.</p>

Skin disease rates have been increasing over the past few decades. It has led to both fatal and non-fatal disabilities all around the world, especially in those areas where medical resources are not good enough. Early diagnosis of skin diseases increases the chances of cure significantly. Therefore, this work is comparing six machine learning algorithms, namely KNN, random forest, neural network, naïve bayes, logistic regression, and SVM, for the prediction of the skin diseases. The information gain, gain ratio, gini decrease, chi-square, and relieff are used to rank the features. This work comprises the introduction, literature review, and proposed methodology parts. In this research paper, a new method of analyzing skin disease has been proposed in which six different data mining techniques are used to develop an ensemble method that integrates all the six data mining techniques as a single one. The ensemble method used on the dermatology dataset gives improved result with 94% accuracy in comparison to other classifier algorithms and hence is more effective in this area.

Data on the production, sale, repackaging, and transportation of fresh produce is scarce, yet with recent threats to national safety and security, forward and backward traceability of produce is mandatory. Recent advances in online marketing of fresh produce, a new international codification system and use of advanced technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and bar coding are working together to fill the gap, building a solid database of rich information that can be mined. While agricultural data mining holds much promise for farmers, with better indications of what and when to plant, and for buyers, giving them access to improved food quality and availability information, it is the world’s health organizations and governments who stand to be the biggest beneficiaries. This chapter describes the current state of fresh produce data collection and access, new trends that fill important gaps, and emerging methods of mining fresh produce data for improved production, product safety and public health through traceability.

AbstractPhycoMine is data warehouse system created to fostering the analysis of complex and integrated data from microalgae species in a single computational environment. The PhycoMine was developed on top of the InterMine software system, and it has implemented an extended database model, containing a series of tools that help the users in the analysis and mining of individual data and group data. The platform has widgets created to facilitate simultaneous data mining of different datasets. Among the widgets implemented in PhycoMine, there are options for mining chromosome distribution, gene expression variation via transcriptomics, proteomics sets, Gene Onthology enrichment, KEGG enrichment, publication enrichment, EggNOG, Transcription factors and transcriptional regulators enrichment and phenotypical data. These widgets were created to facilitate data visualization of the gene expression levels in different experimental setups, for which RNA-seq experimental data is available in data repositories. For comparative purposes, we have reanalyzed 200 RNA-seq datasets from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a model unicellular microalga, for optimizing the performance and accuracy of data comparisons. We have also implemented widgets for metabolic pathway analysis of selected genes and proteins and options for biological network analysis. The option for analysis of orthologue genes was also included. With this platform, the users can perform data mining for a list of genes or proteins of interest in an integrated way through accessing the data from different sources and visualizing them in graphics and by exporting the data into table formats.

Information efficiency is gaining more importance in the development as well as application sectors of information technology. Data mining is a computer-assisted process of massive data investigation that extracts meaningful information from the datasets. The mined information is used in decision-making to understand the behavior of each attribute. Therefore, a new classification algorithm is introduced in this paper to improve information management. The classical C4.5 decision tree approach is combined with the Selfish Herd Optimization (SHO) algorithm to tune the gain of given datasets. The optimal weights for the information gain will be updated based on SHO. Further, the dataset is partitioned into two classes based on quadratic entropy calculation and information gain. Decision tree gain optimization is the main aim of our proposed C4.5-SHO method. The robustness of the proposed method is evaluated on various datasets and compared with classifiers, such as ID3 and CART. The accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve parameters are estimated and compared with existing algorithms like ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization and cuckoo search.

Pizza is a processed food originating from Italy and has been spread in various other countries including one of them in Indonesia. Pizza is a processed food that is currently sought after by various groups of people so as to make the pizza business opportunity very profitable, if it is run in a food business. Currently the pizza business has very favorable prospects when compared to other businesses. Moreover, the targeted target can be from all walks of life from children to adults. Pizza sales transactions that produce sales data every day, have not been able to maximize the use of sales data. Sales data is only stored as an archive, so it becomes a pile of data. Therefore the use of data mining is used to solve this problem. A priori algorithm is a data mining method by using minimum support parameters, minimum confidence and will analyze in the period of every month of sales transactions. This study produces data on the results of the process of association rules from the data collection of sales transactions. From the association rules it can be concluded that the pattern of pizza sales, where consumers more often buy Meatzza and Cheese Mania, as evidenced by the results of calculations using Apriori Algorithm and Rapidminer 5.3, with support of 30% and 60% confidence.
