2. A novel framework for unification of association rule miningRahul Sharma, Minakshi Kaushik, Sijo Arakkal Peious, Alexandre Bazin, Syed Attique Shah, Iztok Fister, Sadok Ben Yahia, Dirk Draheim, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Statistical reasoning was one of the earliest methods to draw insights from data. However, over the last three decades, association rule mining and online analytical processing have gained massive ground in practice and theory. Logically, both association rule mining and online analytical processing have some common objectives, but they have been introduced with their own set of mathematical formalizations and have developed their specific terminologies. Therefore, it is difficult to reuse results from one domain in another. Furthermore, it is not easy to unlock the potential of statistical results in their application scenarios. The target of this paper is to bridge the artificial gaps between association rule mining, online analytical processing and statistical reasoning. We first provide an elaboration of the semantic correspondences between their foundations, i.e., itemset apparatus, relational algebra and probability theory. Subsequently, we propose a novel framework for the unification of association rule mining, online analytical processing and statistical reasoning. Additionally, an instance of the proposed framework is developed by implementing a sample decision support tool. The tool is compared with a state-of-the-art decision support tool and evaluated by a series of experiments using two real data sets and one synthetic data set. The results of the tool validate the framework for the unified usage of association rule mining, online analytical processing, and statistical reasoning. The tool clarifies in how far the operations of association rule mining and online analytical processing can complement each other in understanding data, data visualization and decision making.

3. Synergy of blockchain technology and data mining techniques for anomaly detectionAida Kamišalić Latifić, Renata Kovačević, Iztok Fister, 2021, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Blockchain and Data Mining are not simply buzzwords, but rather concepts that are playing
an important role in the modern Information Technology (IT) revolution. Blockchain has recently
been popularized by the rise of cryptocurrencies, while data mining has already been present in IT
for many decades. Data stored in a blockchain can also be considered to be big data, whereas data
mining methods can be applied to extract knowledge hidden in the blockchain. In a nutshell, this
paper presents the interplay of these two research areas. In this paper, we surveyed approaches for
the data mining of blockchain data, yet show several real-world applications. Special attention was
paid to anomaly detection and fraud detection, which were identified as the most prolific applications
of applying data mining methods on blockchain data. The paper concludes with challenges for future
investigations of this research area.

4. The OpenScience Slovenia metadata datasetMladen Borovič, Marko Ferme, Janez Brezovnik, Sandi Majninger, Albin Bregant, Goran Hrovat, Milan Ojsteršek, 2020, drugi znanstveni članki Opis: The OpenScience Slovenia metadata dataset contains metadata entries for Slovenian public domain academic documents which include undergraduate and postgraduate theses, research and professional articles, along with other academic document types. The data within the dataset was collected as a part of the establishment of the Slovenian Open-Access Infrastructure which defined a unified document collection process and cataloguing for universities in Slovenia within the infrastructure repositories. The data was collected from several already established but separate library systems in Slovenia and merged into a single metadata scheme using metadata deduplication and merging techniques. It consists of text and numerical fields, representing attributes that describe documents. These attributes include document titles, keywords, abstracts, typologies, authors, issue years and other identifiers such as URL and UDC. The potential of this dataset lies especially in text mining and text classification tasks and can also be used in development or benchmarking of content-based recommender systems on real-world data.

9. Rapid assessment of steel machinability through spark analysis and data-mining techniquesGoran Munđar, Miha Kovačič, Miran Brezočnik, Krzysztof Stępień, Uroš Župerl, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The machinability of steel is a crucial factor in manufacturing, influencing tool life, cutting
forces, surface finish, and production costs. Traditional machinability assessments are labor-intensive
and costly. This study presents a novel methodology to rapidly determine steel machinability using
spark testing and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We evaluated 45 steel samples, including
various low-alloy and high-alloy steels, with most samples being calcium steels known for their
superior machinability. Grinding experiments were conducted using a CNC machine with a ceramic
grinding wheel under controlled conditions to ensure a constant cutting force. Spark images captured
during grinding were analyzed using CNN models with the ResNet18 architecture to predict V15
values, which were measured using the standard ISO 3685 test. Our results demonstrate that the
created prediction models achieved a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 12.88%. While
some samples exhibited high MAPE values, the method overall provided accurate machinability
predictions. Compared to the standard ISO test, which takes several hours to complete, our method is
significantly faster, taking only a few minutes. This study highlights the potential for a cost-effective
and time-efficient alternative testing method, thereby supporting improved manufacturing processes.
