Knowledge Discovery from Disparate Earth Data Sources
Advances in data collection and data storage technologies have made it possible to acquire massive Earth science data sets. In principle, these data sets could be transformed into great scientific discoveries. However, due to the heterogeneous nature and to the scale of the available Earth science data, traditional analysis methods are challenged and much of these data remain largely unexplored...
متن کاملBayesian Biosurveillance Using Multiple Data Streams
Introduction: Emergency Department (ED) records and over-the-counter (OTC) sales data are two of the most commonly used data sources for syndromic surveillance. Most current detection algorithms monitor these data sources separately, and either do not combine them, or combine them in an ad hoc fashion. This paper introduces a causal model that coherently combines the two data sources in order t...
متن کاملConversion Rules from Disparate Data Sources
The successful integration of data from autonomous and heterogeneous systems calls for the resolution of semantic conflicts that may be present. Such conflicts are often reflected by discrepancies in attribute values of the same data object. In this paper, we describe a recently developed prototype system, DIRECT (DIscovering and REconciling ConflicTs). The system mines data value conversion ru...
متن کاملSPARQL Query Mediation over RDF Data Sources with Disparate Contexts
Many Semantic Web applications require the integration of data from distributed and autonomous RDF data sources. However, the values in the RDF triples would be frequently recorded simply as the literal, and additional contextual information such as unit and format is often omitted, relying on consistent understanding of the context. In the wider context of the Web, it is generally not safe to ...
متن کاملSpatial Scan Statistics Adjusted for Multiple Clusters
The spatial scan statistic is one of the main epidemiological tools to test for the presence of disease clusters in a geographical region. While the statistical significance of the most likely cluster is correctly assessed using the model assumptions, secondary clusters tend to have conservatively high P-values. In this paper, we propose a sequential version of the spatial scan statistic to adj...
