String processing is common in the research field of bioinformatics. However, as the strings that transitors deal with are usually extremely big, efficient data structures and algorithms are necessary. Some of these problems are presented as contest problems in ICPC. By mastering the content of this chapter, ICPC contestants will have a better chance at tackling these string processing problems. String processing has also appeared in IOI, where usually the input and output data structures are restricted to arrays (also called lists). Additionally, the input and output formats are usually fairly simple. The algorithms that tend to solve getting input or producing output commonly used in ICPC problems. IOI tasks that require string processing are usually still solvable using the problem-solving paradigms mentioned in Chapter 5. It is critical for both contestants to learn string algorithms in this chapter except Section 6.5 about string issues with DP; however, we believe that it may be advantageous for IOI contestants to learn some of the more advanced materials outside of their syllabus. ## 6.2 Basic String Processing Skills We begin this chapter by listing several basic string processing skills that every competitive programmer must master. In this section, we provide a series of mini-tasks that you should solve one after another without skipping. You can use your favorite programming language (C, C++, or Java). Try your best to come up with the shortest, most efficient solutions. As we go through this chapter, we will provide some additional notes. Sometimes you may want to adopt different strategies from the typical ones. 1. Given a string \( S \) consisting of uppercase characters [A-Z] and digits [0-9], space, and period (`.`), write a program to read that file from the line-by-line input: 1. if you encounter a line that starts with a space, ignore that line. 2. Concatenate (combine) each line into a long string \( T \). When two lines are combined, give special consideration that the last word of the previous line is separated from the first word of the current line. There can be up to 30 of any of your implementations. > Note: The sample input file `c6.txt` is shown on the next page: After question 1 (d) and before task 2. #################### File:

Human Genome Project ## 6.1 Overview and Motivation In this chapter, we present one more topic that is tested in ICPC—although not as frequent as graph and mathematics problems—namely, string processing. String processing is common in the research field of bioinformatics. However, as the strings that transistors deal with are usually extremely big, efficient data structures and algorithms are necessary. Some of these problems are presented as contest problems in ICPC. By mastering the content of this chapter, ICPC contestants will have a better chance at tackling these string processing problems. String processing has also appear in IOI, but usually they do not require strict data structures or algorithms due to syllabus [sic] restrictions. Additionally, the input and output formats are usually quite simple. The problems to be used in contest input and output formatting commonly found in ICPC problems. IOI tasks that require string processing are usually still solvable using the problem-solving paradigms mentioned in Section 6.1. It is striking for problem constraints to have string-algorithmic tasks in this chapter except Section 6.1 about string issues with DP. However, we observe that it may be advantageous for IOI contestants to learn some of the more advanced material outside of their syllabus. ## 6.2 Basic String Processing Skills We begin this chapter by listing several basic string processing skills that every competitive programmer must know. In this section, we provide a series of mini-tasks that you should solve one after another without asking, "Who can you see your favorite programming language?" (C, C++, or Java). Try your best to come up with the subtask, using default input/output methods, and check the outcomes as you implement your solutions. Appending A, then you can absorb in a way of implementing your own (even your simple implementations), then break the problem down into smaller components. A bid can lead to the next section. Otherwise, you can also learn from other programming practices. 1. Given a string that consists of alphabetical characters [A-Za-z], digits [0-9], space, and period (‘.’), write a program to read that list file from the disk and encounter a long string. When two lines are combined, give two spaces between them, but the last word of the previous line is separated from the first of the current line. There can be up to 30 characters per line—for every line. Note the sample input file `c6.txt` is shown on the next page: After question 1(d) and before task 2. #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 618 Context: HAN19-ch12-543-584-97801238147912011/6/13:25Page581#3912.9Summary58112.9SummaryAssumethatagivenstatisticalprocessisusedtogenerateasetofdataobjects.Anoutlierisadataobjectthatdeviatessignificantlyfromtherestoftheobjects,asifitweregeneratedbyadifferentmechanism.Typesofoutliersincludeglobaloutliers,contextualoutliers,andcollectiveoutliers.Anobjectmaybemorethanonetypeofoutlier.Globaloutliersarethesimplestformofoutlierandtheeasiesttodetect.Acontextualoutlierdeviatessignificantlywithrespecttoaspecificcontextoftheobject(e.g.,aTorontotemperaturevalueof28◦Cisanoutlierifitoccursinthecontextofwinter).Asubsetofdataobjectsformsacollectiveoutlieriftheobjectsasawholedeviatesignificantlyfromtheentiredataset,eventhoughtheindividualdataobjectsmaynotbeoutliers.Collectiveoutlierdetectionrequiresbackgroundinformationtomodeltherelationshipsamongobjectstofindoutliergroups.Challengesinoutlierdetectionincludefindingappropriatedatamodels,thedepen-denceofoutlierdetectionsystemsontheapplicationinvolved,findingwaystodistinguishoutliersfromnoise,andprovidingjustificationforidentifyingoutliersassuch.Outlierdetectionmethodscanbecategorizedaccordingtowhetherthesampleofdataforanalysisisgivenwithexpert-providedlabelsthatcanbeusedtobuildanoutlierdetectionmodel.Inthiscase,thedetectionmethodsaresupervised,semi-supervised,orunsupervised.Alternatively,outlierdetectionmethodsmaybeorganizedaccordingtotheirassumptionsregardingnormalobjectsversusout-liers.Thiscategorizationincludesstatisticalmethods,proximity-basedmethods,andclustering-basedmethods.Statisticaloutlierdetectionmethods(ormodel-basedmethods)assumethatthenormaldataobjectsfollowastatisticalmodel,wheredatanotfollowingthemodelareconsideredoutliers.Suchmethodsmaybeparametric(theyassumethatthedataaregeneratedbyaparametricdistribution)ornonparametric(theylearnamodelforthedata,ratherthanassumingoneapriori).ParametricmethodsformultivariatedatamayemploytheMahalanobisdistance,theχ2-statistic,oramixtureofmul-tipleparametricmodels.Histogramsandkerneldensityes #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 167 Context: # Chapter 6 The Human Genome has approximately 3.3 Gig base-pairs — Human Genome Project ## 6.1 Overview and Motivation In this chapter, we present one more topic that is tested in ICPC - although not as frequent as graph and mathematics problems - namely, string processing.

String processing tasks also appear in IOI, but usually they do not involve strict data structures or require the use of syllabus[1] restrictions. Additionally, the input and output format for strings are usually simple. The problems tend to deal with counting input and output formatting commonly found in ICPC problems. IOI tasks that require string processing are usually still solvable using the problem solving paradigms mentioned in Chapter 5. It is striking to note that contestants who learn string algorithms in this chapter expect Section 5 that is strongly related to DP; however, we believe that it may be advantageous for IOI contestants to learn some of the more advanced materials outside of their syllabus. ## 6.2 Basic String Processing Skills We begin this chapter by listing several basic string processing skills that every competitive programmer must acquire. In this section, we give a series of mini tasks that you should solve one after another without asking. You can use your favorite programming language (C, C++, or Java). Try your best to come up with the simplest, least defecting solution that leads to a correct answer. Also, if any of your implementations can even be further simplified, then you can absorb in a lot of the basic string processing concepts. As a good measure, when you complete your tasks, make sure to review other code snippets that will be given along with the outline at the end of each line. Note: The sample input file `data.txt` is shown on the next page: After question 1(a) and before task 2. 1. Given a string that consists of alphabetical characters [A-Za-z], digits [0-9], space, and period ('.'), write a program to read that file line by line and encounter a long string first. When lines are combined, give some consideration that the last word of the previous line is separated from the first of the current line. There can be up to 30 of any combinations. You can even use simple implementations. 2. Consider (combine) each line into a long string `T`. When lines are combined, give some consideration that the last word of the previous line is separated from the first of the current line. There can be up to 30 ways of any combinations you can find in your implementation. --- [1] 2008 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest interface instead of coding I/O routines. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 7 Context: # CONTENTS \*\*Stearn & Folex\*\* ## Topic Data Structures: Union-Find Disjoint Sets Graph: Primal, SCCC, Max Flow, Bipartite Graph Game Theory: Bin Packing, NP Problems, Min Games, Matrix Form String Processing: Suffixes, Trie/Array More Advanced Topics: A\* (IDA\*) **Table 1: Not in IOL Syllabus** | Topic | In This Book | |----------|-----------------------| | 01 | Section 2.32 | | 02 | Sections 4.1, 4.4, 4.7.4 | | 03 | Section 5.5, 5.9 | | 04 | Section 6.6 | | 05 | Section 8.3 | | 06 | Not applicable | We know that one cannot win a medal in IOI just by mastering the current versions of this book.

For multiple test cases, you should include two identical sample test cases consecutively. Both must output the same correct results. This is to check whether you have forgotten to initialize some variables, which will be easily identified if the test instance produces the correct output but the second does not. 2. Your test cases must include edge cases. Increase the input size incrementally up to the maximum possible stated in problem description. Sometimes your program works for small input sets, but behaves wrongly (or slowly) when input sizes increase. Check carefully, out of bounds, if that happens. 3. You must test cases that include tricky corner cases. Think like the problem setter! Identify cases that are 'hidden' in the problem description. Some sample entries: \( N = 0 \), \( N = 1 \), \( N = - \text{any negative value} \), etc. That is the worst possible input for your algorithm. 4. Do not assume that input will always be nicely formatted if the problem describes certain constraints (especially for a badly written problem). Try identifying these spaces, tabs, etc. in your input, and actually check your code to see if you verify these - it is necessary to add corner cases during testing. 5. Finally, generate large random test cases to see if your code continues to run fast and gives reasonably correct outputs. The constraints is hard to verify here - this is not to verify fast, your code must run within time limits. However, after all these steps, you may still get non-AC responses. In ICPC, you and your team can actually see the judge's response to determine your next actions. With more experience in such contexts, you will be able to make better judgments. See the next exercises: ### Exercise 1.2.4: Stubborn Judging (Mastery in ICPC rating thing). This is not relevant to 100. 1. You receive a WA response for a very easy problem. What should you do? (a) Abandon this problem and do another. (b) Investigate the performance of your solution (optimize the code or use a better algorithm). (c) Create test cases and find the bug. (d) In team context: Ask another coder in your team to re-do this problem. 2. You receive a TLE response for an outer \( O(N) \) solution. However, maximum \( N \) is just 100. What should you do? (a) Abandon this problem and do another. (b) Investigate the performance of your solution (optimize the code or use better algorithm). (c) Try trade-offs between cases and find the bug. 3. You receive an RTE response. Your code runs OK on your machine. What should you do? (a) Abandon the problem with WA code, switch to that other problem in attempt to solve another problem. (b) It’s ICPC: Print the WA code. Ask two other team members to scrutinize the code with you. What should your (team) do? > For 2019-2020, contenders have listed notes that can help you quickly check the correctness of their submitted code. The exercise in the notice is more towards ICPC ways noted. #################### File: Analytic%20Geometry%20%281922%29%20-%20Lewis%20Parker%20Siceloff%2C%20George%20Wentworth%2C%20David%20Eugene%20Smith%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 4 Context: ``` # PREFACE This book is intended as a textbook for a course of a full year, and it is believed that many of the students who study the subject for only a half year will desire to read the full text. An abridged edition has been prepared, however, for students who study the subject for only one semester and who do not care to purchase the larger text. It will be observed that the work includes two chapters on solid analytic geometry. These will be found quite sufficient for the ordinary reading of higher mathematics, although they do not pretend to cover the ground necessary for a thorough understanding of the geometry of three dimensions. It will also be noticed that the chapter on higher plane curves includes the more important curves of this nature, considered from the point of view of interest and applications. A complete list is not only unnecessary but undesirable, and the selection given in Chapter XII will be found ample for our purposes. ``` #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 249 Context: ``` # INDEX LA 2901 - Editor, 173 LA 3001 - The Code, 132 LA 3208 - Digital Coding, 128 LA 3897 - The Expert Constant Gene, 132 LA 3909 - Text Editor Documentation, 211 LA 4001 - MONDEX, 128 LA 4002 - Schoolings, 31 LA 4003 - Astronomy, 23 LA 4101 - RACING, 80 LA 4102 - Hurdle Race Logo, 31 LA 4103 - Bright Futures, 63 LA 4104 - Expert Setting, 51 LA 4105 - Creative Ex-Philanthropist, 115 LA 4106 - JCP Team Strategy, 211 LA 4107 - High-Speed Experiment, 15 LA 4108 - Support the Forum, 155 LA 4201 - School Bulbs, 112 LA 4202 - Explosive as a Marvel Man, 18 LA 4203 - Curves of Phasing, 82 LA 4204 - Cleaning Plant, 45 LA 4205 - Shopping Donor's Day, 128 LA 4301 - Laird "P", 100 LA 4323 - P.V.

If they appear, they will be written using this font. Many of these types, typedefs, structs, and enums are intended for competitive programming to speed up the coding time. In the short section, we list some overall examples. Java support has been included substantially in the second edition of this book. This book uses, as such, does not support macros and typedefs. ```cpp // Suppress some compilation warning messages (only for VC++ users) #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE ``` ## Shortcuts for "common" data types in contests ```cpp typedef long long ll; // comments are lined with code typedef pair PII; // are aligned to the right like this typedef vector VI; // typedef vector VVI; // ``` ## Common preset settings ```cpp // memset(mem, 0, sizeof(mem)); // initialize PC memory table with -1 // memset(arr, 0, sizeof(arr)); // to clear array of integers ``` ## Note that we abandon the usage of "RBP" and "RHR" in the second edition To reduce the confusion encountered by new programmers. The following shortcuts are frequently used in our C/C++ files: ```cpp // x = a + b; // to simplify: (a) and (b) else use = c; // index = (index + 1) % n; // from index: if index > index: index = 0; // index = (index - 1 + n) % n; // from index: if index < 0: index = n - 1; // arr[i] = (int)(double)arr[i]; // for rounding to nearest integer // max = max(ans, max_complication); // we frequently use this min/max shortcut ``` Some codes used short circuit & (AND) and || (OR). # Problem Categorization As of August 21, Steven and Felix combined have solved 1502 UVA problems (∼ 12% of the active UVa problems). About 11% of them are discussed and categorized in this book. Three problems are categorized according to a "read discover" category. If a problem is classified into two or more categories, it will be placed in the category where it is discussed first. Any noted problems requiring "specialized" approaches should be remembered as potential problems you may want to solve. What we can guarantee is this: if you even just pass the problems in this book, you are bound to have solved problems. If you find problems that are yet to be categorized in this book, and you believe they fall under those identified by the authors, please feel free to notify. Each index contains a list of UVa (long problem names, quite arbitrary) with each of the corresponding categories that establish the relationships of these problems (and their required structures to be passed). Unlike those categories revealing your trained T diversity (our problems seek skills), it is a must try – we limit myself to discuss maximum 3 highlights per category. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 86 Context: # 3.6 Chapter Notes Many problems in ICPC (or IOI) require one or more combinations (see Sections 3.2) of these problem-solving paradigms. Here we will summarize a chapter in this book that constitutes how to really matter, and we will discuss this now. The main source of the “Complete Search” material in this chapter is the USACO training gateway [2]. We adopt the name “Complete Search” rather than “Brute Force” as we believe that some Complete Search solutions can be more clear and strong, although it is complete. We refer to the term “Complete Search” as a bit reconstructing. We will discuss some advanced search techniques later in Section 3.8, e.g., A* Search, Depth Limited Search (DLS), Iterative Deepening Search (IDS), Iterative Deepening A* (IDA*). ## Divide and Conquer Divide and conquer paradigm is usually used in the form of its popular algorithms: binary search and its variants, merging/sorting (merge sort), and data structures; binary tree, heap, segment tree, etc. We will see more D&C later in Computational Geometry (Section 7.4). - **Goal:** Greedy and Dynamic Programming (DP) techniques/executions are always included in popular algorithm textbooks, e.g., Introduction to Algorithms [3], Algorithms Design [2], Algorithm [4]. However, to keep up with the growing difficulties and diversity of these techniques, especially the DP techniques, we include more references from Internet: “Dynamic programming” tutorial [1] and recent programming contests. In this book, we will revisit DP again for two occasions: [First Waisall’s DP algorithm (Section 6.7), Implicit DAG (Section 17.1), DP String (Section 6.5), and more Advanced DPs (Section 6.8)]. However, for some real-life problems, especially those that are classified as NP-Complete [3], many of the approaches discussed so far will not work. For example, Knapack Problem which has O(N) S-P complexity to know if a subset S is big vs. P, where S ⊆ {N1, N2, ..., Nk} with P complexity to know if W is much larger than K. For such problems, people use heuristics or local search. Tabu Search [14], Genetic Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization, Beam Search, etc. These are 19 UVA (4 + 15 other) programming exercises discussed in this chapter. (Only 10 in the first edition, a 75% increase). There are 32 pages in this chapter. (Also 32 in the first edition, but some content have been recognized to Chapter 4 and 8). #################### File:

text information | In both scenarios, the representative transactions extracted give us the titles of papers that effectively capture the meaning of the given patterns. The experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of semantic pattern annotation to generate a dictionary-like annotation for frequent patterns, which can help a user understand the meaning of annotated patterns. The context modeling and semantic analysis method presented here is general and can deal with any type of frequent patterns with context information. Such semantic annotations can have many other applications such as ranking patterns, categorizing and clustering patterns with semantics, and unsummarizing databases. Applications of the pattern context model and semantical analysis method are also not limited to pattern annotation; other example applications include pattern compression, transaction clustering, pattern relations discovery, and pattern synonym discovery. ## 7.6.2 Applications of Pattern Mining We have studied many aspects of frequent pattern mining, with topics ranging from efficient mining algorithms and the diversity of patterns to pattern interestingness, pattern #################### File:

The experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of semantic pattern annotation to generate a dictionary-like annotation for frequent patterns, which can help a user understand the meaning of annotated patterns. The context modeling and semantic analysis method presented here is general and can deal with any type of frequent patterns with context information. Such semantic annotations can have many other applications such as ranking patterns, categorizing and clustering patterns with semantics, and summarizing databases. Applications of the pattern context model and semantical analysis method are also not limited to pattern annotation; other example applications include pattern compression, transaction clustering, pattern relations discovery, and pattern synonym discovery. ## 7.6.2 Applications of Pattern Mining We have studied many aspects of frequent pattern mining, with topics ranging from efficient mining algorithms and the diversity of patterns to pattern interestingness, pattern #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 136 Context: # 48.

The other 3 are valid. # Chapter 6 Exercise 6.2.1: In C, a string is stored as an array of characters terminated by null, for example `char str[30] = { 'a', ... , 0 };`. It is a good practice to declare arrays slightly bigger than required to avoid "off by one" bugs. To read the input line by line and concatenate them, we can use the standard `strcpy()` (e.g., `strcpy(dest, src)`), then get input using `fgetc(line, ...)` or `getline(...)`. In string `b`, string library functions like `strcat()` are not suitable here as it will append the last read word. We can combine the lines into a larger string using `strcat(dest, line)`. We append a space to the last word from one line to not accidentally combine it with the first word of the next line. We keep repeating this process until `string[line]`, `...`, `n`. Exercise 6.2.2: Finding a substring in a relatively short string (e.g., `the` standard string library function) can be a quite binary function. We can use the `strstr` function; however, please note that substrings' start is not found in a pos. If there are multiple possible substrings, we can use an array to both keep the index of the first occurrence and substring stored in the `char` array. Exercise 6.2.3: In many string processing tasks, we are required to iterate through every character in order to find a character by its value. The con can be seen when working in C, especially when converting `char` into `char*`. When working in C++, we may use standard `std::vector` to help keep track of pointer values and parentheses like `std::vector`. Notice that string is actually an object. Exercise 6.4.1 and Exercise 6.4.2: Run our sample code. Exercise 6.4.3: Given a certain string solution, the writer will adjust different (global) alignment. If given string alignment, read the problem statement and see what is the required cost for match, mismatch, insert, and delete. Adapt the algorithm accordingly. ``` #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 582

combination (see Section 3.2) of these problem solving paradigms. Here we aim to summarize a chapter in this book that constitutes how to really master, we will discuss this matter. The main source of the "Complete Search" material in this chapter is the USACO training gateway [2]. We adopt the term “Complete Search” rather than “Brute Force” as we believe that some Complete Search solutions can be more direct and elegant, although it is complete. We define the term "Complete Search" as a self-controlling method. We will discuss some advanced search techniques later in Section 3.8, A* Search, Depth Limited Search (DLS), Iterative Deepening Search (IDS), Iterative Deepening A* (IDA*). ## Divide and Conquer Divide and conquer paradigms are usually used in the form of popular algorithms: binary search and its variants, merge/sort (lazy sort), and data structures: binary tree, heap, segment tree, etc. We will see more D&C later in Computational Geometry (Section 7.4). **Basic Greedy and Dynamic Programming** (DP) techniques/solutions are always included in popular introductory textbooks, e.g., Introduction to Algorithms [3], Algorithms Design [2], Algorithm [4]. However, to keep pace with the growing difficulties and diversity of these techniques, especially the DP techniques, we include some references from Internet: "Dynamic programming tutorial" [11] and recent programming contests. In this book, we will revisit DP for again one occasion: First Warshall's DP algorithm (Section 6.7), DP (implicitly DAG) (Section 3.17), or DP String (Section 6.5), and more Advanced DPs (Section 5.4). However, for some real-life problems, especially those that are classified as NP-Complete [3], many of the approaches discussed do not work. For example, K-Clique Problem with loss of O(N^5) complexity to know if S is big, PSR baseline would yield O(N^2K) complexity to know if V is big, hardly learn how. For such problems, people use heuristics or local search, Tabu Search [14], 3D Graph Algorithm, Ants Colony Optimization, Beam Search, etc. These are 19 UVA (4 + 15 others) programming exercises discussed in this chapter. (Only 10 in the first edition, a 75% increase). There are 32 pages in this chapter.

Depending on the length of the instruction period, the background of students, and your interests, you may select subsets of chapters to teach in various sequential orderings. For example, if you would like to give only a short introduction to students on data mining, you may follow the suggested sequence in Figure P.1. Notice that depending on the need, you can also omit some sections or subsections in a chapter if desired. Depending on the length of the course and its technical scope, you may choose to selectively add more chapters to this preliminary sequence. For example, instructors who are more interested in advanced classification methods may first add "Chapter 9: Classification: Advanced Methods"; those more interested in pattern mining may choose to include "Chapter 7: Advanced Pattern Mining"; whereas those interested in OLAP and data cube technology may like to add "Chapter 4: Data Warehousing and Online Analytical Processing" and "Chapter 5: Data Cube Technology." Alternatively, you may choose to teach the whole book in a two-course sequence that covers all of the chapters in the book, plus, where time permits, some advanced topics such as graph and network mining. Material for such advanced topics may be selected from the companion chapters available from the book's web site, accompanied with a set of selected research papers. Individual chapters in this book can also be used for tutorials or for special topics in related courses, such as machine learning, pattern recognition, data warehousing, and intelligent data analysis. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, suitable as assigned homework. The exercises are either short questions that test basic mastery of the material covered, longer questions that require analytical thinking, or implementation projects. Some exercises can also be used as research discussion topics. The bibliographic notes at the end of each chapter can be used in the research literature related to the concepts and methods presented, in-depth treatment of related topics, and possible extensions. ## To the Student We hope that this textbook will spark your interest in the rapidly evolving field of data mining. We have attempted to present the material in a clear manner, with careful explanation of the topics covered. Each chapter ends with a summary describing the main points. We have included many figures and illustrations throughout the text to make the book more enjoyable and reader-friendly. Although this book was designed as a textbook, we have tried to organize it so that it will also be useful to you as a reference. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 135 Context: # 4.8 Chapter Notes ### Steven & Felix We end this relatively long chapter by making a remark that this chapter has lots of algorithms and algorithm analyses that are not in this book. This text will help students in the future, as there will be many graph algorithms. However, we have learned to understand that recent ICPCs and OIs usually do not just ask contestants to solve problems involving the pure form of these graph algorithms. New problems usually require contestants to combine two or more algorithms together to solve problems, implementing some abstract data structures, e.g., Trees and Bipartite’s graph. Thus, it is important to have a general understanding of algorithms and the relevant techniques. We recommend that students first identify their specific problem concept in the context of a specific graph. One common paradigm is to transform the original graph into a Data Augmented Graph (DAG). These broader forms of graph problems are discussed in Section 2. The view of special graphs and the techniques in Section 3 are also useful. It is not rare that Dynamic Programming (DP) is the next step for any particular ICPC problem. In fact, the problem that seems to be solvable in polynomial time is always suitable for the Max Flow problems. However, we recognize that contestants must master the usage of the specific algorithm for solving the Max Cardinality Bipartite Matching (also called MCBM). We have seen in this section that many problems are reducible to MCBM. For instance, there is the traditional Hungarian algorithm, which is efficient and does not have to worry with Bipartite graphs as it is still valid to solve the DAG. Other useful graph concepts discussed in this chapter – the Deletion Graph – do not have too many concrete problems involving it directly. There are collections of graph problems, but they rarely connect them, e.g., Planar Graph, Complete Graph, Euler’s Path, etc. When they appear, try to utilize their special properties to speed up your algorithms. This chapter also includes classic problems such as graph coloring, and graph problems that may be traced to ICPCs, namely, self-studied paths, Bipartite Traversing Submax Paths, Clustering, and Advanced Analysis for Min Cost Arborescences problem, Tarjan’s Offline Random Common Ancestors (Hungarian) algorithm, and Edmonds's Blossoms Shrinking algorithm. If you want to increase your winning chance in ACM ICPC finals, please spend some time in refined notes and if they arise, just internally become the driver of profound graph problems in regards to graph algorithms beyond this book. Thus, here are the main topics that specific materials in the 101 syllabus are already covered as this chapter: - There are 20 new UVA (+30 others) programming exercises discussed in this chapter. - (Only 173 in the first edition, a 35% increase). - There are 49 pages in this chapter. - (Only 43 in the first edition, a 40% increase). *“Interested readers are welcome to explore Felix’s paper [1] that discusses maximum flow algorithms for large graphs of all mutation vertices and 10 billion edges.”* #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 494 Context: hyisusefulfordatasummarizationandvisualization.Forexample,asthemanagerofhumanresourcesatAllElectronics, #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 19 Context: HAN03-toc-ix-xviii-97801238147912011/6/13:32Pagexviii#10xviiiContents12.7.2ModelingNormalBehaviorwithRespecttoContexts57412.7.3MiningCollectiveOutliers57512.8OutlierDetectioninHigh-DimensionalData57612.8.1ExtendingConventionalOutlierDetection57712.8.2FindingOutliersinSubspaces57812.8.3ModelingHigh-DimensionalOutliers57912.9Summary58112.10Exercises58212.11BibliographicNotes583Chapter13DataMiningTrendsandResearchFrontiers58513.1MiningComplexDataTypes58513.1.1MiningSequenceData:Time-Series,SymbolicSequences,andBiologicalSequences58613.1.2MiningGraphsandNetworks59113.1.3MiningOtherKindsofData59513.2OtherMethodologiesofDataMining59813.2.1StatisticalDataMining59813.2.2ViewsonDataMiningFoundations60013.2.3VisualandAudioDataMining60213.3DataMiningApplications60713.3.1DataMiningforFinancialDataAnalysis60713.3.2DataMiningforRetailandTelecommunicationIndustries60913.3.3DataMininginScienceandEngineering61113.3.4DataMiningforIntrusionDetectionandPrevention61413.3.5DataMiningandRecommenderSystems61513.4DataMiningandSociety61813.4.1UbiquitousandInvisibleDataMining61813.4.2Privacy,Security,andSocialImpactsofDataMining62013.5DataMiningTrends62213.6Summary62513.7Exercises62613.8BibliographicNotes628Bibliography633Index673 #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 494 Context: hyisusefulfordatasummarizationandvisualization.Forexample,asthemanagerofhumanresourcesatAllElectronics, #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 19 Context: HAN03-toc-ix-xviii-97801238147912011/6/13:32Pagexviii#10xviiiContents12.7.2ModelingNormalBehaviorwithRespecttoContexts57412.7.3MiningCollectiveOutliers57512.8OutlierDetectioninHigh-DimensionalData57612.8.1ExtendingConventionalOutlierDetection57712.8.2FindingOutliersinSubspaces57812.8.3ModelingHigh-DimensionalOutliers57912.9Summary58112.10Exercises58212.11BibliographicNotes583Chapter13DataMiningTrendsandResearchFrontiers58513.1MiningComplexDataTypes58513.1.1MiningSequenceData:Time-Series,SymbolicSequences,andBiologicalSequences58613.1.2MiningGraphsandNetworks59113.1.3MiningOtherKindsofData59513.2OtherMethodologiesofDataMining59813.2.1StatisticalDataMining59813.2.2ViewsonDataMiningFoundations60013.2.3VisualandAudioDataMining60213.3DataMiningApplications60713.3.1DataMiningforFinancialDataAnalysis60713.3.2DataMiningforRetailandTelecommunicationIndustries60913.3.3DataMininginScienceandEngineering61113.3.4DataMiningforIntrusionDetectionandPrevention61413.3.5DataMiningandRecommenderSystems61513.4DataMiningandSociety61813.4.1UbiquitousandInvisibleDataMining61813.4.2Privacy,Security,andSocialImpactsofDataMining62013.5DataMiningTrends62213.6Summary62513.7Exercises62613.8BibliographicNotes628Bibliography633Index673 #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 610 Context: nventionalOutlierDetectionThiscategoryofmethodsisforsituationswherethecontextscanbeclearlyidentified.Theideaistotransformthecontextualoutlierdetectionproblemintoatypicaloutlierdetectionproblem.Specifically,foragivendataobject,wecanevaluatewhethertheobjectisanoutlierintwosteps.Inthefirststep,weidentifythecontextoftheobjectusingthecontextualattributes.Inthesecondstep,wecalculatetheoutlierscorefortheobjectinthecontextusingaconventionaloutlierdetectionmethod. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 249 Context: ``` # INDEX LA 3901 -

While we have covered parts of the Not 101 syllabus here, we recommend this book which should give you a respectable foundation for future I/O - we are well aware that Not 101 requires more problem-solving skills and clarity that we cannot teach with this book. So, keep practicing! ## Specific to the Teachers/Coaches This book is used in Steven's CS323 - "Competitive Programming" course in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore. It is contributed to its teaching using the following lesson plan (per Table 2). The PDF files (only the public versions) that go along with the examples of this book. Finally, listed authors are free to modify the lesson plan to suit your students' needs. | Week | Topic | In This Book | |------|-------------------------------------|-----------------------| | 01 | Introduction | Chapter 1 | | 02 | Data Structure & Libraries | Chapter 2 | | 03 | Competitive Search, Divide & Conquer, Greedy | Section 3.2.3 | | 04 | Dynamic Programming 1 (Basic Ideas) | Section 3.3 | | 05 | Graph 1 (DFS/BFS) | Sections 4.1 up to Section 4.3 | | 06 | Graph 2 (Shortest Paths, DAG-Tree) | Section 4.4-5, 4.7-17.2 | | 07 | Mid semester exam content | | | 08 | Dynamic Programming 2 (More Techniques) | Section 6.5, 6.8 | | 09 | Graphs 3 (Max Flow, Bipartite Graph) | Section 6.6, 4.7.4 | | 10 | Mathematics (Overview) | Chapter 5 | | 11 | String Processing (Basics, Suffix Array) | Chapter 6 | | 12 | Computational Geometry (Libraries) | Chapter 7 | | 13 | Final exam content | All, including Chapter 8 | | Table | Lesson Plan | |-------|-------------| | 2 | | --- ## To All Readers Due to the diversity of this content, this book is not meant to be read once, but several times. There are exercises which can be skipped at first if the solution is not clear at that point of time, but the student should not be discouraged because their understanding should be put to the test even if conversations are one-sided at times. As you aim to improve, various topics and twists are constantly introduced. Make sure to attempt them all before you assume anything. **PC Will Not Be an Impediment:** This book is available on several educational platforms as IPC (and will be used in the approaching problem sets for Year 1986) to assist students as they progress. We present the book here before facing more challenges after mastering this book. But before you assume anything, please check this book's table of contents to see what we mean by “basic.” #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 118 Context: ``` ## 2.7 Bibliographic Notes Methods for descriptive data summarization have been studied in the statistics literature long before the onset of computers. Good summaries of statistical descriptive data mining methods include Freedman, Pisani, and Purves [FP07] and Devore [Dev95]. ### 2.6 Given two objects represented by the tuples (22, 1, 42, 10) and (20, 0, 36, 8): 1. Compute the Euclidean distance between the two objects. 2. Compute the Manhattan distance between the two objects. 3. Compute the Minkowski distance between the two objects, using \( q = 3 \). 4. Compute the supremum distance between the two objects. ### 2.7 The median is one of the most important holistic measures in data analysis. Propose several methods for median approximation. Analyze their respective complexity under different parameter settings and decide to what extent the real value can be approximated. Moreover, suggest a heuristic strategy to balance between accuracy and complexity and then apply it to all methods you have given. ### 2.8 It is important to define or select similarity measures in data analysis. However, there is no commonly accepted subjective similarity measure. Results can vary depending on the similarity measures used. Nonetheless, seemingly different similarity measures may be equivalent after some transformation. Suppose we have the following 2-D data set: | A1 | A2 | |------|------| | x1 | 1.5 | 1.7 | | x2 | 2.2 | 1.9 | | x3 | 1.6 | 1.8 | | x4 | 1.2 | 1.5 | | x5 | 1.5 | 1.0 | 1. Consider the data as 2-D data points. Given a new data point, \( \mathbf{x} = (1.4, 1.6) \) as a query, rank the database points based on similarity with the query using Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, supremum distance, and cosine similarity. 2. Normalize the data set to make the norm of each data point equal to 1. Use Euclidean distance on the transformed data to rank the data points. ``` ########## """QUERY: Please summarize the whole context. It is important that you include a summary for each file. All files should be included, so please make sure to go through the entire context""" Consider the chat history for relevant information. If query is already asked in the history double check the correctness of your answer and maybe correct your previous mistake. If you find information separated by a | in the context, it is a table formatted in Markdown - the whole context is formatted as md structure. If the client ask for a formatting structure follow his advise.
