The analysis of temporal data is an important issue of current research, because most real-world data either explicitly or implicitly contains some information about time. The key to successfully solving temporal learning tasks is to analyze the assumptions that can be made and prior knowledge...

Today, most of the data in business applications is stored in relational databases. Relational database systems are so popular, because they offer solutions to many problems around data storage, such as efficiency, effectiveness, usability, security and multi-user support. To benefit from these...

Today, most of the data in business applications is stored in relational database systems or in data warehouses built on top of relational database systems. Often, for more data is available than can be processed by standard learning algorithms in reasonable time. This paper presents an...

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have become a popular tool for learning with large amounts of high dimensional data. However, it may sometimes be preferable to learn incrementally from previousSVM results, as computing a SVM is very costly in terms of time and memory consumption or because the...

Time series analysis is an important and complex problem in machine learning and statistics. Real-world applications can consist of very large and high dimensional time series data. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a popular tool for the analysis of such data sets. This paper presents some SVM...

Today, large collections of digital music plays are available. These audio data are time series which need to be indexed and classified for diverse applications. Indexing and classification differs from time series analysis, in that it generalises several series, whereas time series analysis...

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have become a popular learning algorithm, in particular for large, high-dimensional classification problems. SVMs have been shown to give most accurate classification results in a variety of applications. Several methods have been proposed to obtain not only a...
