Biclustering has proved to be a powerful data analysis technique due to its wide success in various application domains. However, the existing literature presents efficient solutions only for enumerating maximal biclusters with constant values, or heuristic-based approaches which can not find all biclusters or even support the maximality of the obtained biclusters. Here, we present a general family of biclustering algorithms for enumerating all maximal biclusters with (i) constant values on rows, (ii) constant values on columns, or (iii) coherent values. Versions for perfect and for perturbed biclusters are provided. Our algorithms have four key properties (just the algorithm for perturbed biclusters with coherent values fails to exhibit the first property): they are (1) efficient (take polynomial time per pattern), (2) complete (find all maximal biclusters), (3) correct (all biclusters attend the user-defined measure of similarity), and (4) non-redundant (all the obtained biclusters are maximal and the same bicluster is not enumerated twice). They are based on a generalization of an efficient formal concept analysis algorithm called In-Close2. Experimental results point to the necessity of having efficient enumerative biclustering algorithms and provide a valuable insight into the scalability of our family of algorithms and its sensitivity to user-defined parameters.
The RCB algorithm @cite_58 is based on an FPM algorithm called Apriori @cite_26 , which has a worst-case time exponential on the number of attributes. Thus, Apriori and the algorithms based on it are not efficient. It is also noteworthy that Apriori mines frequent itemsets, not closed frequent itemsets. Thus, it produces many redundant biclusters. RCB adopts a two step process. First, all the square submatrices that qualify to be a CTV bicluster are enumerated. Second, these square CTV biclusters are merged to form rectangular CTV biclusters of arbitrary sizes.

A novel algorithm based on random forests with surrogate splits is proposed to address the classification problem of incomplete data without imputation.The algorithm allows each tree to cast a vote even the voting process is interrupted by missing attributes.Experimental results on various acknowledged datasets show that the proposed method is robust and efficient. Random forests (RF) is known as an efficient algorithm in classification, however it depends on the integrity of datasets. Conventional methods in dealing with missing values usually employ estimation and imputation approaches whose efficiency is tied to the assumptions of data features. Recently, algorithm of surrogate decisions in RF was developed and this paper proposes a random forests algorithm with modified surrogate splits (Adjusted Weight Voting Random Forest, AWVRF) which is able to address the incomplete data without imputation.Differing from the present surrogate method, in AWVRF algorithm, when the primary splitting attribute and the surrogate attributes of an internal node are all missing, the undergoing instance is allowed to exit at the current node with a vote. Then the weight of the vote is adjusted by the strength of the involved attributes and the final decision is made by weighted voting. AWVRF does not comprise imputation step, thus it is independent of data features.AWVRF is compared with the methods of mean imputation, LeoFill, knnimpute, BPCAfill and conventional RF with surrogate decisions (surrRF) using 50 times repeated 5-fold cross validation on 10 acknowledged datasets. In a total of 22 experiment settings, the method of AWVRF harvests the highest accuracy in 14 settings and the largest AUC in 7 settings, exhibiting its superiority over other methods. Compared with surrRF, AWVRF is significantly more efficient and remain good discrimination of prediction. Experimental results show that the present AWVRF algorithm can successfully handle the classification task for incomplete data. Recovering low-rank and sparse matrices from incomplete or corrupted observations is an important problem in statistics, machine learning, computer vision, as well as signal and image processing. In theory, this problem can be solved by the natural convex joint mixed relaxations (i.e., l 1 -norm and trace norm) under certain conditions. However, all current provable algorithms suffer from superlinear per-iteration cost, which severely limits their applicability to large-scale problems. In this paper, we propose a scalable, provable and structured robust bilinear factorization (RBF) method to recover low-rank and sparse matrices from missing and grossly corrupted data, i.e., robust matrix completion (RMC), or incomplete and grossly corrupted measurements, i.e., compressive principal component pursuit (CPCP). Specifically, we first present two small-scale matrix trace norm regularized bilinear factorization models for RMC and CPCP problems, in which repetitively calculating SVD of a large-scale matrix is replaced by updating two much smaller factor matrices. Then, we apply the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to efficiently solve the RMC problems. Finally, we provide the convergence analysis of our algorithm, and extend it to address general CPCP problems. Experimental results verified both the efficiency and effectiveness of our method compared with the state-of-the-art methods. Polar codes, as the first provable capacity-achieving error-correcting codes, have received much attention in recent years. However, the decoding performance of polar codes with traditional successive-cancellation (SC) algorithm cannot match that of the low-density parity-check or Turbo codes. Because SC list (SCL) decoding algorithm can significantly improve the error-correcting performance of polar codes, design of SCL decoders is important for polar codes to be deployed in practical applications. However, because the prior latency reduction approaches for SC decoders are not applicable for SCL decoders, these list decoders suffer from the long-latency bottleneck. In this paper, we propose a multibit-decision approach that can significantly reduce latency of SCL decoders. First, we present a reformulated SCL algorithm that can perform intermediate decoding of 2 b together. The proposed approach, referred as 2-bit reformulated SCL ( 2b-rSCL ) algorithm , can reduce the latency of SCL decoder from ( @math ) to ( @math ) clock cycles without any performance loss. Then, we extend the idea of 2-b-decision to general case, and propose a general decoding scheme that can perform intermediate decoding of any @math bits simultaneously. This general approach, referred as @math -bit reformulated SCL ( @math b-rSCL ) algorithm , can reduce the overall decoding latency to as short as @math cycles. Furthermore, on the basis of the proposed algorithms, very large-scale integration architectures for 2b-rSCL and 4b-rSCL decoders are synthesized. Compared with a prior SCL decoder, the proposed (1024, 512) 2b-rSCL and 4b-rSCL decoders can achieve 21 and 60 reduction in latency, 1.66 and 2.77 times increase in coded throughput with list size 2, and 2.11 and 3.23 times increase in coded throughput with list size 4, respectively.
