    Ignoring Internal Utilities in High-Utility Itemset Mining
    (MDPI, 2022) Oğuz, Damla
    High-utility itemset mining discovers a set of items that are sold together and have utility values higher than a given minimum utility threshold. The utilities of these itemsets are calculated by considering their internal and external utility values, which correspond, respectively, to the quantity sold of each item in each transaction and profit units. Therefore, internal and external utilities have symmetric effects on deciding whether an itemset is high-utility. The symmetric contributions of both utilities cause two major related challenges. First, itemsets with low external utility values can easily exceed the minimum utility threshold if they are sold extensively. In this case, such itemsets can be found more efficiently using frequent itemset mining. Second, a large number of high-utility itemsets are generated, which can result in interesting or important high-utility itemsets that are overlooked. This study presents an asymmetric approach in which the internal utility values are ignored when finding high-utility itemsets with high external utility values. The experimental results of two real datasets reveal that the external utility values have fundamental effects on the high-utility itemsets. The results of this study also show that this effect tends to increase for high values of the minimum utility threshold. Moreover, the proposed approach reduces the execution time.

    Incorporating Concreteness in Multi-Modal Language Models With Curriculum Learning
    (MDPI, 2021) Sezerer, Erhan; Tekir, Selma
    Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the studies that consider experiential (visual) information by building multi-modal language models and representations. It is shown by several studies that language acquisition in humans starts with learning concrete concepts through images and then continues with learning abstract ideas through the text. In this work, the curriculum learning method is used to teach the model concrete/abstract concepts through images and their corresponding captions to accomplish multi-modal language modeling/representation. We use the BERT and Resnet-152 models on each modality and combine them using attentive pooling to perform pre-training on the newly constructed dataset, which is collected from the Wikimedia Commons based on concrete/abstract words. To show the performance of the proposed model, downstream tasks and ablation studies are performed. The contribution of this work is two-fold: A new dataset is constructed from Wikimedia Commons based on concrete/abstract words, and a new multi-modal pre-training approach based on curriculum learning is proposed. The results show that the proposed multi-modal pre-training approach contributes to the success of the model.
