Abstract: Databases often inaccurately identify entities of interest. Two operations, consolidation and link formation, which complement the usual machine learning techniques that use similarity-based clustering to discover classifications, are proposed as essential components of KDD systems for certain applications. Consolidation relates identifiers present in a database to a set of real world entities (RWE's) which are not uniquely identified in the database. Consolidation may also be viewed as a transformation of representation from the identifiers present in the original database to the RWE's. Link formation constructs structured relationships between consolidated RWE's through identifiers and events explicitly represented in the database. Consolidation and link formation are easily implemented as index creation in relational database management systems. An operational knowledge discovery system identifies potential money laundering in a database of large cash transactions using consolidation and link formation.

CrimeNet explorer: a framework for criminal network knowledge discovery
Jennifer Xu,Hsinchun Chen +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for automated network analysis and visualization was proposed that incorporates several advanced techniques: a concept space approach, hierarchical clustering, social network analysis methods, and multidimensional scaling, which demonstrated that the system could achieve higher clustering recall and precision than did untrained subjects when detecting subgroups from criminal networks.

Stylistic text classification using functional lexical features: Research Articles
TL;DR: A new type of lexical feature for use in stylistic text classification, based on taxonomies of various semantic functions of certain choice words or phrases is developed, demonstrating the usefulness of such features for the stylisticText classification tasks of determining author identity and nationality, the gender of literary characters, a text's sentiment, and the rhetorical character of scientific journal articles.
