Abstract:
Searching and Mining Complex Data
Emerging domains like biological data analysis, software engineering
data management and Web 2.0 had bring about large amount of high
dimensional and complex data in the form of sequences, tree, graphs.
Over the years, our group had developed various techniques in
searching and mining such complex data. In this talk, we will first
give an overview of these works before going into the details of two
of them; (1) k-n-match, a similarity function for comparing high
dimensional data (2) CSV: a visualizing technique for detecting
cohesive subgraphs in massive networks like social network
interaction
graph and co-authorship graphs. The concept of k-n-match was
published
in VLDB'06 (http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~atung/publication/
Vldb06_nmatch.pdf) while CSV was presented in SIGMOD'08 (http://
www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~atung/publication/sigmod08_csv.pdf).


Dr Anthony K. H. Tung is currently an Associate Professor in the
Department of Computer Science, National University of Singapore
(NUS). He received both his B.Sc.(2nd Class Honour) and M.Sc. in
computer sciences from the National University of Singapore in 1997
and 1998 respectively. In 2001, he receive the Ph.D. in computer
sciences from Simon Fraser University (SFU) under the supervision of
Prof. Jiawei Han. His research interests involve various aspects of
databases and data mining. More details of Anthony's research can be
obtained at www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~atung. This talk is part of a
recruitment seminar for NGS (http://www.nus.edu.sg/ngs/index.shtml).
