  • In this paper, we evaluate performance of existing similarity measurement metric and propose a novel method using user's preferences information entropy to reduce MAE in memory-based collaborative recommender systems. The proposed method applies a similarity of individual inclination to traditional similarity measurement methods. We experiment on various similarity metrics under different conditions, which include an amount of data and significance weighting from n/10 to n/60, to verify the proposed method. As a result, we confirm the proposed method is robust and efficient from the viewpoint of a sparse data set, applying existing various similarity measurement methods and Significance Weighting.

  • Because of the importance of the information, encryption algorithms are heavily used. Raw data is encrypted and secure, but problems arise when the key for decryption is exposed. In particular, large-scale Internet sites such as Facebook and Amazon suffer serious damage when user data is exposed. Recently, research into a new fourth-generation encryption technology that can protect user-related data without the use of a key required for encryption is attracting attention. Also, data clustering technology using encryption is attracting attention. In this paper, we try to reduce key exposure by using homomorphic encryption. In addition, we want to maintain privacy through similarity measurement. Additionally, holistic similarity measurements are time-consuming and expensive as the data size and scope increases. Therefore, Min-Hash has been studied to efficiently estimate the similarity between two signatures Methods of measuring similarity that have been studied in the past are time-consuming and expensive as the size and area of data increases. However, Min-Hash allowed us to efficiently infer the similarity between the two sets. Min-Hash is widely used for anti-plagiarism, graph and image analysis, and genetic analysis. Therefore, this paper reports privacy using homomorphic encryption and presents a model for efficient similarity measurement using Min-Hash.

  • Clustering is a data mining method, which consists in discovering interesting data distributions in very large databases. In traditional data clustering, similarity of a cluster of object is measured by pairwise similarity of objects in that paper. In view of the nature of clustering transactions, we devise in this paper a novel measurement called item similarity and utilize this to perform clustering. With this item similarity measurement, we develop an efficient clustering algorithm for target marketing in each group.

  • In order to improve the reliability of cost estimation results using CBR, there has been a continuous issue on similarity measurement to accurately compute the distance among attributes and cases to retrieve the most similar singular or plural cases. However, these existing similarity measures have limitations in taking the covariance among attributes into consideration and reflecting the effects of covariance in computation of distances among attributes. To deal with this challenging issue, this research examines the weighted Mahalanobis distance based similarity measure applied to CBR cost estimation and carries out the comparative study on the existing distance measurement methods of CBR. To validate the suggest CBR cost model, leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) using two different sets of simulation data are carried out. Consequently, this research is expected to provide an analysis of covariance effects in similarity measurement and a basis for further research on the fundamentals of case retrieval.

  • The traditional text similarity measurement methods based on word frequency vector ignore the semantic relationships between words, which has become the obstacle to text similarity calculation, together with the high-dimensionality and sparsity of document vector. To address the problems, the improved singular value decomposition is used to reduce dimensionality and remove noises of the text representation model. The optimal number of singular values is analyzed and the semantic relevance between words can be calculated in constructed semantic space. An inverted index construction algorithm and the similarity definitions between vectors are proposed to calculate the similarity between two documents on the semantic level. The experimental results on benchmark corpus demonstrate that the proposed method promotes the evaluation metrics of F-measure.

  • While there is a great demand for malware classification to reduce the time required in malware analysis and find a new type of malware, various similarity measurement methods of malware to classify a lot of malwares have been proposed. But, the existing methods to measure similarity just represented the classification results by them and have not carried out performance comparison with other methods. This is because an evaluation model to compare the performance of similarity measurement methods is non-existent. In this paper, we propose a new performance evaluation model on similarity measurement methods of malware by using two indicators: success rate and degree of confidence. In addition, we compare and evaluate the performance of existing similarity measurement methods by using these two indicators.

  • Spectral clustering has become a typical and efficient clustering method used in a variety of applications. The critical step of spectral clustering is the similarity measurement, which largely determines the performance of the spectral clustering method. In this paper, we propose a novel spectral clustering algorithm based on the local similarity measure of shared neighbors. This similarity measurement exploits the local density information between data points based on the weight of the shared neighbors in a directed k-nearest neighbor graph with only one parameter k, that is, the number of nearest neighbors. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms other existing spectral clustering algorithms in terms of the clustering performance measured via the normalized mutual information, clustering accuracy, and F-measure. As an example, the proposed method can provide an improvement of 15.82% in the clustering performance for the Soybean dataset.

  • Clustering is a data mining method which help discovering interesting data groups in large databases. In traditional data clustering, similarity between objects in the cluster is measured by pairwise similarity of objects. But we devise an advanced measurement called item similarity in this paper, in terms of nature of clustering transaction data and use this measurement to perform clustering. This new algorithm show the similarity by accepting the concept of relationship between different attributes. With this item similarity measurement, we develop an efficient clustering algorithm for target marketing in each group.

  • With the gradual increase of interest in plagiarism and intelligent file content search, the demand for similarity measuring between two sentences is increasing. There is a lot of researches for sentence similarity measurement methods in various directions such as n-gram, edit-distance and LSA. However, these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we propose a new sentence similarity measurement method approaching from another direction. The proposed method uses the set-based POI data search that improves search performance compared to the existing hard matching method when data includes the inverse, omission, insertion and revision of characters. Using this method, we are able to measure the similarity between two sentences more accurately and more quickly. We modified the data loading and text search algorithm of the set-based POI data search. We also added a word operation algorithm and a similarity measure between two sentences expressed as a percentage. From the experimental results, we observe that our sentence similarity measurement method shows better performance than n-gram and the set-based POI data search.

  • The Question Similarity Measurement of Chinese Crop Diseases and Insect Pests (QSM-CCD&IP) aims to judge the user's tendency to ask questions regarding input problems. The measurement is the basis of the Agricultural Knowledge Question and Answering (Q & A) system, information retrieval, and other tasks. However, the corpus and measurement methods available in this field have some deficiencies. In addition, error propagation may occur when the word boundary features and local context information are ignored when the general method embeds sentences. Hence, these factors make the task challenging. To solve the above problems and tackle the Question Similarity Measurement task in this work, a corpus on Chinese crop diseases and insect pests(CCDIP), which contains 13 categories, was established. Then, taking the CCDIP as the research object, this study proposes a Chinese agricultural text similarity matching model, namely, the AgrCQS. This model is based on mixed information extraction. Specifically, the hybrid embedding layer can enrich character information and improve the recognition ability of the model on the word boundary. The multi-scale local information can be extracted by multi-core convolutional neural network based on multi-weight (MM-CNN). The self-attention mechanism can enhance the fusion ability of the model on global information. In this research, the performance of the AgrCQS on the CCDIP is verified, and three benchmark datasets, namely, AFQMC, LCQMC, and BQ, are used. The accuracy rates are 93.92%, 74.42%, 86.35%, and 83.05%, respectively, which are higher than that of baseline systems without using any external knowledge. Additionally, the proposed method module can be extracted separately and applied to other models, thus providing reference for related research.
