To improve performance using a multidimensional index in similar sequence matching, we transform a high-dimensional sequence to a low-dimensional sequence, and then construct a low-dimensional MBR that contains multiple transformed sequences. In this paper we propose a formal method that transforms a high-dimensional MBR itself to a low-dimensional MBR, and show that this method significantly reduces the number of lower-dimensional transformations. To achieve this goal, we first formally define the new notion of MBR-safe. We say that a transform is MBR-safe if a low-dimensional MBR to which a high-dimensional MBR is transformed by the transform contains every individual low-dimensional sequence to which a high-dimensional sequence is transformed. We then propose two MBR-safe transforms based on DFT and DCT, the most representative lower-dimensional transformations. For this, we prove the traditional DFT and DCT are not MBR-safe, and define new transforms, called mbrDFT and mbrDCT, by extending DFT and DCT, respectively. We also formally prove these mbrDFT and mbrDCT are MBR-safe. Moreover, we show that mbrDFT(or mbrDCT) is optimal among the DFT-based(or DCT-based) MBR-safe transforms that directly convert a high-dimensional MBR itself into a low-dimensional MBR. Analytical and experimental results show that the proposed mbrDFT and mbrDCT reduce the number of lower-dimensional transformations drastically, and improve performance significantly compared with the $na\"{\i}ve$ transforms. These results indicate that our MBR- safe transforms provides a useful framework for a variety of applications that require the lower-dimensional transformation of high-dimensional MBRs.

In recent years, publish-subscribe (pub-sub) systems based on XML document filtering have received much attention. In a typical pub-sub system, subscribing users specify their interest in profiles expressed in the XPath language, and each new content is matched against the user profiles so that the content is delivered only to the interested subscribers. As the number of subscribed users and their profiles can grow very large, the scalability of the system is critical to the success of pub-sub services. In this paper, we propose a novel scalable filtering system called FiST(Filtering by Sequencing Twigs) that transforms twig patterns expressed in XPath and XML documents into sequences using Prufer's method. As a consequence, instead of matching linear paths of twig patterns individually and merging the matches during post-processing, FiST performs holistic matching of twig patterns with incoming documents. FiST organizes the sequences into a dynamic hash based index for efficient filtering. We demonstrate that our holistic matching approach yields lower filtering cost and good scalability under various situations.

본 논문에서는 시계열 데이터베이스에서 임의 계수의 이동평균 변환을 지원하는 서브시퀀스 매칭 알고리즘을 제안한다. 응용분야와 분석하려고 하는 시계열 데이터의 특성에 따라 잡음의 영향을 줄이는 정도와 경향을 파악하는 주기가 달라지므로 이동평균 계수의 선택도 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 이동평균 계수에 대해서 생성한 인덱스만을 이용하여 인덱스가 생성되어 있지 않은 계수에 대해서도 탐색을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 이때, 제안된 탐색 기법이 질의 결과로 반환되어야 할 서브시퀀스를 모두 찾아내지 못하는 착오 기각이 발생하지 않음을 증명한다. 실험 결과, 모든 이동평균 계수에 대해 인덱스가 생성되어 있는 경우와 비교하여 탐색 성능의 저하는 42%이내였으며, 제안된 알고리즘의 탐색 성능이 순차 검색에 비하여 초대 2.7배 우수하였다.

본 논문에서는 유사 시퀀스 매칭에서 미리 버림 계산의 효율적인 방법을 제안한다. 미리 버림은 유사 시퀀스 매칭에서 유클리디안 거리 계산 도중 거리 계산 값이 허용치보다 큰 경우 나머지 거리 계산을 하지 않는 방법이다. 기존의 방법은 시퀀스 첫 엔트리를 시작으로 하여 유클리디안 거리 계산을 진행한다. 이 방법은 데이터 고려 없이 계산이 진행되기 때문에 데이터의 특성에 따라 효과가 크게 다른 점을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 미리 버림의 효과를 최대화 시키기 위해 유클리디안 거리 계산 시작점을 오프셋이라 정의하고, 이를 데이터 특성에 맞게 조절하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 오프셋 조절 미리 버림 방법이 대용량의 데이터 베이스 기반 시스템에서 기존 기법에 비해 좋은 성능 향상시킨 것으로 나타났다.

Pattern matching and pattern searching in time series data have been active issues in a number of disciplines. This paper suggests a novel pattern matching technology which can be used in the field of stock market analysis as well as in forecasting stock market trend. First, we define conceptual patterns, and extract data forming each pattern from given time series, and then generate learning model using Hidden Markov Model. The results show that the context-based pattern matching makes the matching more accountable and the method would be effectively used in real world applications. This is because the pattern for new data sequence carries not only the matching itself but also a given context in which the data implies.

This paper proposes a fast face tracking method with only depth information. It is basically a template matching method, but it uses a early termination scheme and a sparse search scheme to reduce the execution time to solve the problem of a template matching method, large execution time. Also a refinement process with the neighboring pixels is incorporated to alleviate the tracking error. The depth change of the face being tracked is compensated by predicting the depth of the face and resizing the template. Also the search area is adjusted on the basis of the resized template. With home-made test sequences, the parameters to be used in face tracking are determined empirically. Then the proposed algorithm and the extracted parameters are applied to the other home-made test sequences and a MPEG multi-view test sequence. The experimental results showed that the average tracking error and the execution time for the home-made sequences by Kinect ($640{\times}480$) were about 3% and 2.45ms, while the MPEG test sequence ($1024{\times}768$) showed about 1% of tracking error and 7.46ms of execution time.

As XML is gaining unqualified success in being adopted as a universal data representation and exchange format, particularly in the World Wide Web, the problem of querying XML documents poses interesting challenges to database researcher. Several structural XML query processing methods, including XISS and XR-tree, for past years, have been proposed for fast query processing. However, structural XML query processing has the problem of requiring expensive Join cost for twig path query Recently, sequence matching based XML query processing methods, including ViST and PRIX, have been proposed to solve the problem of structural XML query processing methods. Through sequence matching based XML query processing methods match structured queries against structured data as a whole without breaking down the queries into sub queries of paths or nodes and relying on join operations to combine their results. However, determining the structural relationship of ViST is incorrect because its numbering scheme is not optimized. And PRIX requires many processing time for matching LPS and NPS about XML data trees and queries. Therefore, in this paper, we propose efficient sequence matching method u sing the bottom-up query processing for efficient XML query processing. Also, to verify the superiority of our index structure, we compare our sequence matching method with ViST and PRIX in terms of query processing with linear path or twig path including wild-card('*' and '//').

Context prediction methods have been developed in two ways - one is a prediction for discrete context and the other is for continuous context. As most of the prediction methods have been used with prediction algorithms in specific domains suitable to the environment and characteristics of contexts, it is difficult to conduct a prediction for a user's context which is based on various environments and characteristics. This study suggests a context prediction method available for both discrete and continuous contexts without being limited to the characteristics of a specific domain or context. For this, we conducted a context prediction based on sequence matching by generating sequences from contexts in consideration of association rules between context attributes and by applying variable weights according to each context attribute. Simulations for discrete and continuous contexts were conducted to evaluate proposed methods and the results showed that the methods produced a similar performance to existing prediction methods with a prediction accuracy of 80.12% in discrete context and 81.43% in continuous context.

In this paper, we present the concept of generalization in constructing windows for subsequence matching and propose a new subsequence matching method. GeneralMatch, based on the generalization. The earlier work of Faloutsos et al.(FRM in short) causes a lot of false alarms due to lack of the point-filtering effect. DualMatch, which has been proposed by the authors, improves performance significantly over FRM by exploiting the point filtering effect, but it has the problem of having a smaller maximum window size (half that FRM) given the minimum query length. GeneralMatch, an improvement of DualMatch, offers advantages of both methods: it can use large windows like FRM and, at the same time, can exploit the point-filtering effect like DualMatch. GeneralMatch divides data sequences into J-sliding windows (generalized sliding windows) and the query sequence into J-disjoint windows (generalized disjoint windows). We formally prove that our GeneralMatch is correct, i.e., it incurs no false dismissal. We also prove that, given the minimum query length, there is a maximum bound of the window size to guarantee correctness of GeneralMatch. We then propose a method of determining the value of J that minimizes the number of page accesses, Experimental results for real stock data show that, for low selectivities ($10^{-6}~10^{-4}$), GeneralMatch improves performance by 114% over DualMatch and by 998% iver FRM on the average; for high selectivities ($10^{-6}~10^{-4}$), by 46% over DualMatch and by 65% over FRM on the average.
