Subgroup discovery aims at finding interesting subsets of a classified example set that deviates from the overall distribution. The search is guided by a so-called utility function, trading the size of subsets (coverage) against their statistical unusualness. By choosing the utility function accordingly, subgroup discovery is well suited to find interesting rules with much smaller coverage and ...

A fundamental task in exploratory data analysis is discerning the differences between contrasting groups. Contrast set mining has been developed as a data mining task, which aims to identify the differences between these groups. This paper examines the algorithms, heuristics, and open issues of contrast set mining, and seeks to improve contrast set mining by addressing several of the open issue...

A pilot study and two experiments investigated the influence of positive affect, induced in three differing ways, on the uniqueness of word associations. Persons in the positive-affect conditions gave more unusual first-associates to neutral words, according to the Palermo & Jenkins (1964) norms, than did subjects in the control conditions. In Study 3, where word type (positive, neutral, negati...

The Aylak Adam novel of Yusuf Atılgan, which is important for Turkish literature, emerged in the period Second New. world views New and subject are largely similar. Turgut Uyar's Geyikli Gece, considered to be center New, has a similar point view Atılgan's with its unusualness. Based on this similarity, we deal reaction institutional standardization, escape nature, perspective away from sociali...

Subgroup discovery is the task of finding subgroups of a population which exhibit both distributional unusualness and high generality. Due to the non monotonicity of the corresponding evaluation functions, standard pruning techniques cannot be used for subgroup discovery, requiring the use of optimistic estimate techniques instead. So far, however, optimistic estimate pruning has only been cons...

Global music diversity is a popular topic for both scientific and humanities researchers, but often different reasons. Scientific research typically focuses on the generalities through measurement statistics, while humanists emphasize exceptions using qualitative approaches. But these two approaches need not be mutually exclusive. Using quantitative approach to identify musical outliers discuss...

UNLABELLED Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) represent the most common congenital anomalies of the face, corresponding to approximately 65% of all malformations of the craniofacial region. AIM to describe unusual clinical cases of non-syndromic CL/P (CL/PNS), diagnosed in a reference service in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and correlate these alterations with possible risk factors. MATERIALS AND METH...

INTRODUCTION Hashimoto's encephalopathy is a relatively rare condition associated with an elevated concentration of circulating serum anti-thyroid antibodies, and is usually responsive to steroid therapy. However, hypothyroidism is a rare cause of pseudo-obstruction so here we present a case report of Hashimoto's encephalopathy with gut pseudo-obstruction in an undiagnosed hypothyroid patient. ...

Trivia is any fact about an entity which is interesting due to its unusualness, uniqueness or unexpectedness. Trivia could be successfully employed to promote user engagement in various product experiences featuring the given entity. A Knowledge Graph (KG) is a semantic network which encodes various facts about entities and their relationships. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called ...
