Apriori and N-gram Based Chinese Text Feature Extraction Method

A feature extraction, which means extracting the representative words from a text, is an important issue in text mining field. This paper presented a new Apriori and N-gram based Chinese text feature extraction method, and analyzed its correctness and performance. Our method solves the question that the exist extraction methods cannot find the frequent words with arbitrary length in Chinese texts. The experimental results show this method is feasible.     

Logistic Regression for Evolving Data Streams Classification

Logistic regression is a fast classifier and can achieve higher accuracy on small training data.Moreover,it can work on both discrete and continuous attributes with nonlinear patterns.Based on these properties of logistic regression,this paper proposed an algorithm,called evolutionary logistical regression classifier(ELRClass),to solve the classification of evolving data streams.This algorithm applies logistic regression repeatedly to a sliding window of samples in order to update the existing classifier,to keep this classifier if its performance is deteriorated by the reason of bursting noise,or to construct a new classifier if a major concept drift is detected.The intensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm.     

The Cooperative Multi-agent Learning with Random Reward Values

This paper investigated how to learn the optimal action policies in cooperative multi-agent systems if the agents‘ rewards are random variables, and proposed a general two-stage learning algorithm for cooperative multiagent decision processes. The algorithm first calculates the averaged immediate rewards, and considers these learned rewards as the agents‘ immediate action rewards to learn the optimal action policies. It is proved that the learning algorithm can find the optimal policies in stochastic environment. Extending the algorithm to stochastic Markov decision processes was also discussed.
