Summary: This book provides a comprehensive picture of mobile big data starting from data sources to mobile data driven applications. Mobile Big Data comprises two main components: an overview of mobile big data, and the case studies based on real-world data recently collected by one of the largest mobile network carriers in China. In the first component, four areas of mobile big data life cycle are surveyed: data source and collection, transmission, computing platform and applications. In the second component, two case studies are provided, based on the signaling data collected in the cellular core network in terms of subscriber privacy evaluation and demand forecasting for network management. These cases respectively give a vivid demonstration of what mobile big data looks like, and how it can be analyzed and mined to generate useful and meaningful information and knowledge. This book targets researchers, practitioners and professors relevant to this field. Advanced-level students studying computer science and electrical engineering will also be interested in this book as supplemental reading.

Summary: Text analytics is a field that lies on the interface of information retrieval, machine learning, and natural language processing. This book carefully covers a coherently organized framework drawn from these intersecting topics. The chapters of this book span three broad categories: 1. Basic algorithms: Chapters 1 through 8 discuss the classical algorithms for text analytics such as preprocessing, similarity computation, topic modeling, matrix factorization, clustering, classification, regression, and ensemble analysis. 2. Domain-sensitive learning: Chapters 8 and 9 discuss learning models in heterogeneous settings such as a combination of text with multimedia or Web links. The problem of information retrieval and Web search is also discussed in the context of its relationship with ranking and machine learning methods. 3. Sequence-centric mining: Chapters 10 through 14 discuss various sequence-centric and natural language applications, such as feature engineering, neural language models, deep learning, text summarization, information extraction, opinion mining, text segmentation, and event detection. This book covers text analytics and machine learning topics from the simple to the advanced. Since the coverage is extensive, multiple courses can be offered from the same book, depending on course level.

Summary: This book introduces the concepts and models of robust representation learning, and provides a set of solutions to deal with real-world data analytics tasks, such as clustering, classification, time series modeling, outlier detection, collaborative filtering, community detection, et cetera Three types of robust feature representations are developed, which extend the understanding of graph, subspace, and dictionary. Leveraging the theory of low-rank and sparse modeling, the authors develop robust feature representations under various learning paradigms, including unsupervised learning, supervised learning, semi-supervised learning, multi-view learning, transfer learning, and deep learning. Robust Representations for Data Analytics covers a wide range of applications in the research fields of big data, human-centered computing, pattern recognition, digital marketing, web mining, and computer vision.

Summary: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Mining Intelligence and Knowledge Exploration, MIKE 2015, held in Hyderabad, India, in December 2015. The 48 full papers and 8 short papers presented together with 4 doctoral consortium papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 185 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics including information retrieval, machine learning, pattern recognition, knowledge discovery, classification, clustering, image processing, network security, speech processing, natural language processing, language, cognition and computation, fuzzy sets, and business intelligence.
