Developed by Jean-Paul Benzerci more than 30 years ago,
correspondence analysis as a framework for analyzing data quickly
found widespread popularity in Europe. The topicality and
importance of correspondence analysis continue, and with the
tremendous computing power now available and new fields of
application emerging, its significance is greater than ever.
Correspondence Analysis and Data Coding with Java and R clearly
demonstrates why this technique remains important and in the eyes
of many, unsurpassed as an analysis framework. After presenting
some historical background, the author presents a theoretical
overview of the mathematics and underlying algorithms of
correspondence analysis and hierarchical clustering. The focus then
shifts to data coding, with a survey of the widely varied
possibilities correspondence analysis offers and introduction of
the Java software for correspondence analysis, clustering, and
interpretation tools. A chapter of case studies follows, wherein
the author explores applications to areas such as shape analysis
and time-evolving data. The final chapter reviews the wealth of
studies on textual content as well as textual form, carried out by
Benzecri and his research lab. These discussions show the
importance of correspondence analysis to artificial intelligence as
well as to stylometry and other fields. This book not only shows
why correspondence analysis is important, but with a clear
presentation replete with advice and guidance, also shows how to
put this technique into practice. Downloadable software and data
sets allow quick, hands-on exploration of innovative correspondence
analysis applications.
Handbook of Cluster Analysis provides a comprehensive and unified
account of the main research developments in cluster analysis.
Written by active, distinguished researchers in this area, the book
helps readers make informed choices of the most suitable clustering
approach for their problem and make better use of existing cluster
analysis tools. The book is organized according to the traditional
core approaches to cluster analysis, from the origins to recent
developments. After an overview of approaches and a quick journey
through the history of cluster analysis, the book focuses on the
four major approaches to cluster analysis. These approaches include
methods for optimizing an objective function that describes how
well data is grouped around centroids, dissimilarity-based methods,
mixture models and partitioning models, and clustering methods
inspired by nonparametric density estimation. The book also
describes additional approaches to cluster analysis, including
constrained and semi-supervised clustering, and explores other
relevant issues, such as evaluating the quality of a cluster. This
handbook is accessible to readers from various disciplines,
reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of cluster analysis. For
those already experienced with cluster analysis, the book offers a
broad and structured overview. For newcomers to the field, it
presents an introduction to key issues. For researchers who are
temporarily or marginally involved with cluster analysis problems,
the book gives enough algorithmic and practical details to
facilitate working knowledge of specific clustering areas.
"Data Science Foundations is most welcome and, indeed, a piece of
literature that the field is very much in need of...quite different
from most data analytics texts which largely ignore foundational
concepts and simply present a cookbook of methods...a very useful
text and I would certainly use it in my teaching." - Mark Girolami,

Data analysis is changing fast. Driven by a vast range of
application domains and affordable tools, machine learning has
become mainstream. Unsupervised data analysis, including cluster
analysis, factor analysis, and low dimensionality mapping methods
continually being updated, have reached new heights of achievement
in the incredibly rich data world that we inhabit. Statistical
Learning and Data Science is a work of reference in the rapidly
evolving context of converging methodologies. It gathers
contributions from some of the foundational thinkers in the
different fields of data analysis to the major theoretical results
in the domain. On the methodological front, the volume includes
conformal prediction and frameworks for assessing confidence in
outputs, together with attendant risk. It illustrates a wide range
of applications, including semantics, credit risk, energy
production, genomics, and ecology. The book also addresses issues
of origin and evolutions in the unsupervised data analysis arena,
and presents some approaches for time series, symbolic data, and
functional data. Over the history of multidimensional data
analysis, more and more complex data have become available for
processing. Supervised machine learning, semi-supervised analysis
approaches, and unsupervised data analysis, provide great
capability for addressing the digital data deluge. Exploring the
foundations and recent breakthroughs in the field, Statistical
Learning and Data Science demonstrates how data analysis can
improve personal and collective health and the well-being of our
social, business, and physical environments.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th
International Conference of the CLEF Initiative, CLEF 2018, jointly
organized by Avignon, Marseille and Toulon universities and held in
Avignon, France, in September 2018. The conference has a clear
focus on experimental information retrieval with special attention
to the challenges of multimodality, multilinguality, and
interactive search ranging from unstructured to semi structures and
structured data. The 13 papers presented in this volume were
carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. Many papers
tackle the medical ehealth and ehealth multimedia retrieval
challenges, however there are many other topics of research such as
document clustering, social biases in IR, social book search,
personality profiling. Further this volume presents 9 "best of the
labs" papers which were reviewed as a full paper submission with
the same review criteria. The labs represented scientific
challenges based on new data sets and real world problems in
multimodal and multilingual information access. In addition to
this, 10 benchmarking labs reported results of their yearlong
activities in overview talks and lab sessions. The papers address
all aspects of information access in any modularity and language
and cover a broad range of topics in the field of multilingual and
multimodal information access evaluation.
This book gives a synthesis of the state of the art in artificial
intelligence in astronomy and astrophysics, presents its current
applications and points out directions of future work. The
individual chapters report on the application of artificial
intelligence techniques for large astronomical surveys, for
processing cosmic ray data, for facilitating data reduction using
image processing systems, for telescope scheduling, for observatory
ground support operations, for observation proposal preparation
assistance, and for scientific applications such as stellar
spectral and galaxy morphology classification. The new field of
connectionism (neural networks) is also surveyed. The book is
designed to be self-contained: a glossary of terms used in this
area is provided and an index of terms, acronyms and proper names
completes the book.
Intelligent information Retrieval comprehensively surveys
scientific information retrieval, which is characterized by growing
convergence of information expressed in varying complementary forms
of data - textual, numerical, image, and graphics; by the
fundamental transformation which the scientific library is
currently being subjected to; and by computer networking which as
become an essential element of the research fabric. Intelligent
Information Retrieval addresses enabling technologies, so-called
`wide area network resource discovery tools', and the state of the
art in astronomy and other sciences. This work is essential reading
for astronomers, scientists in related disciplines, and all those
involved in information storage and retrieval.

Interest in statistical methodology is increasing so rapidly in the
astronomical community that accessible introductory material in
this area is long overdue. This book fills the gap by providing a
presentation of the most useful techniques in multivariate
statistics. A wide-ranging annotated set of general and
astronomical bibliographic references follows each chapter,
providing valuable entry-points for research workers in all
astronomical sub-disciplines. Although the applications considered
focus on astronomy, the algorithms used can be applied to similar
problems in other branches of science. Fortran programs are
provided for many of the methods described.
This thoroughly updated new edition presents state-of-the-art
sparse and multiscale image and signal processing. It covers linear
multiscale geometric transforms, such as wavelet, ridgelet, or
curvelet transforms, and non-linear multiscale transforms based on
the median and mathematical morphology operators. Along with an
up-to-the-minute description of required computation, it covers the
latest results in inverse problem solving and regularization,
sparse signal decomposition, blind source separation, in-painting,
and compressed sensing. New chapters and sections cover multiscale
geometric transforms for three-dimensional data (data cubes), data
on the sphere (geo-located data), dictionary learning, and
nonnegative matrix factorization. The authors wed theory and
practice in examining applications in areas such as astronomy,
including recent results from the European Space Agency's Herschel
mission, biology, fusion physics, cold dark matter simulation,
medical MRI, digital media, and forensics. MATLAB (R) and IDL code,
available online at www.SparseSignalRecipes.info, accompany these
methods and all applications.
