Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptimizing Clusters Alignment for Bilingual Malay-English CorporaRayner Alfred, Chan Chen Jie, Ng Zhen Wei et al.Bilingual corpora, containing the same documents in two different languages, are becoming an essential resource for natural language processing. Clustering bilingual corpora provides us with an insight into the differences between languages when term frequency-based Information Retrieval (IR) tools are used. It also allows one to use the Natural Language Processing (NLP) and IR tools in one language to implement … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2012 · 7,144 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBioDARA: Data Summarization Approach to Extracting Bio-Medical Structuring InformationChung Seng Kheau, Rayner Alfred, Joe Henry ObitProblem statement: Due to the ever growing amount of biomedical datasets stored in multiple tables, Information Extraction (IE) from these datasets is increasingly recognized as one of the crucial technologies in bioinformatics. However, for IE to be practically applicable, adaptability of a system is crucial, considering extremely diverse demands in biomedical IE application. One should be able to extract a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2011 · 7,936 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSummarizing Spatial Distribution Density, Movement Patterns and Food Resources to Study the Impacts of Logging and Forest Conversion on Orang-utan PopulationRaymond Alfred, Koh Pei Hue, Lee Shan Khee, Rayner AlfredProblem statement: Orang-utan is classified as a totally protected species and is listed as an endangered species in Borneo. The survival of this species is highly dependent on the existence and quality of the lowland forest of Sabah. However, most of the pristine habitats in the lowland area have been converted into other land use activities such as a large … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSummarizing Relational Data Using Semi-Supervised Genetic Algorithm-Based Clustering TechniquesRayner AlfredProblem statement: In solving a classification problem in relational data mining, traditional methods, for example, the C4.5 and its variants, usually require data transformations from datasets stored in multiple tables into a single table. Unfortunately, we may loss some information when we join tables with a high degree of one-to-many association. Therefore, data transformation becomes a tedious trial-and-error work and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,585 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Importance of Maintaining a Proper Database on Forest Restoration Program for Orangutans in BorneoRaymond Alfred, Koh Pei Hue, Lee Shan Khee, Rayner AlfredProblem statement: The lowland forest of Sabah is the most important habitat for orangutans and pygmy elephants. This is shown in the WWF-Malaysia’s elephant tracking programme in which satellite-based Global Position System (GPS) collar devices are used to monitor their movement and the range of their habitats, as well as an aerial survey on orangutan’s nest is performed to determine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,910 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptimizing Feature Construction Process for Dynamic Aggregation of Relational AttributesRayner AlfredProblem statement: The importance of input representation has been recognized already in machine learning. Feature construction is one of the methods used to generate relevant features for learning data. This study addressed the question whether or not the descriptive accuracy of the DARA algorithm benefits from the feature construction process. In other words, this paper discusses the application of genetic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,929 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDiscretization Numerical Data for Relational Data with One-to-Many RelationsRayner AlfredProblem statement: Handling numerical data stored in a relational database has been performed differently from handling those numerical data stored in a single table due to the multiple occurrences (one-to-many association) of an individual record in the non-target table and non-determinate relations between tables. Numbers in Multi-Relational Data Mining (MRDM) were often discretized, after considering the schema of the relational … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,030 accessesView PDF Cite
