Weighted association rule mining from binary and fuzzy data (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A novel approach is presented for mining weighted association rules (ARs) from binary and fuzzy data. We address the issue of invalidation of downward closure property (DCP) in weighted association rule mining where each item is assigned a weight acc...

Mining fuzzy association rules from composite items (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents an approach for mining fuzzy Association Rules (ARs) relating the properties of composite items, i.e. items that each feature a number of values derived from a common schema. We partition the values associated to properties into f... Read More about Mining fuzzy association rules from composite items.

Fuzzification of spiked neural networks (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Biological systems are slow, wide and messy whereas computer systems are fast, deep and precise. Fuzzy neural networks use fuzzy logic to implement higher level reasoning and incorporate expert knowledge into the system while neural networks deal wit...

Threat Modeling Revisited: Improving Expressiveness of Attack (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Threat modeling plays an important role in the deployment of optimal security controls and a number of threat modeling techniques have been proposed. However, most of the existing techniques lack adequate semantics and expressiveness. This paper revi... Read More about Threat Modeling Revisited: Improving Expressiveness of Attack.

A weighted utility framework for mining association rules (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Association rule mining (ARM) identifies frequent itemsets from databases and generates association rules by assuming that all items have the same significance and frequency of occurrence in a record i.e. their weight and utility is the same (weight=...

Metal coated subwavelength laser resonators with low threshold gain (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We demonstrate that a low refractive index layer in metal coated laser resonators can significantly reduce the threshold gain. A subwavelength resonator with a sufficiently low threshold gain to lase at room temperature is presented.

We introduce a low refractive index layer between the metal and the gain medium in metal-coated laser resonators and demonstrate that it can significantly reduce the dissipation losses. Analysis of a gain medium waveguide shows that for a given waveg... Read More about Low threshold gain metal coated laser nanoresonators.

Applying data mining in medical data with focus on mortality related to accident in children (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Saraee, M., Ehghaghi, Z., Meamarzadeh, H., & Zibanezhad, B. (2008, December). Applying data mining in medical data with focus on mortality related to accident in children. Presented at IEEE International Multitopic Conference, Karachi, Pakistan

Trauma is the main leading cause of death in children; we need a tool to prevent and predict the outcome in these patients. Data mining is the science of extracting the useful information from a large amount of data sets or databases that leads to st...

Fuzzy block matching motion estimation for video compression (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Soroushmehr, S., Samavi, S., & Saraee, M. (2008, December). Fuzzy block matching motion estimation for video compression. Presented at 2008 IEEE 9th Malay International Conference on Communications, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,

Motion estimation demands intense computations. To overcome this obstacle, different techniques have been devised. In this paper an efficient spatio-temporal fuzzy search algorithm is proposed to shorten the search time without the loss of accuracy....
