Targeted Mining of Time-Interval Related Patterns
Compared to frequent pattern mining, sequential pattern mining emphasizes the temporal aspect and finds broad applications across various fields. However, numerous studies treat temporal events as single time points, neglecting their durations. Time-interval-related pattern (TIRP) mining is introduced to address this issue and has been applied to healthcare analytics, stock prediction, etc. Typically, mining all patterns is not only computationally challenging for accurate forecasting but also …

The Rich Get Richer in Bitcoin Mining Induced by Blockchain Forks
Bitcoin is a representative decentralized currency system. For the security of Bitcoin, fairness in the distribution of mining rewards plays a crucial role in preventing the concentration of computational power in a few miners. Here, fairness refers to the distribution of block rewards in proportion to contributed computational resources. If miners with greater computational resources receive disproportionately higher rewards, i.e., if the Rich Get Richer (TRGR) phenomenon holds in Bitcoin, it …

Resilient Pattern Mining
Frequent pattern mining is a flagship problem in data mining. In its most basic form, it asks for the set of substrings of a given string $S$ of length $n$ that occur at least $τ$ times in $S$, for some integer $τ\in[1,n]$. We introduce a resilient version of this classic problem, which we term the $(τ, k)$-Resilient Pattern Mining (RPM) problem. Given a string $S$ of length $n$ and two integers $τ, k\in[1,n]$, RPM asks for the set of substrings of $S$ that occur at least $τ$ times in $S$,…

Multimodal Fusion And Sparse Attention-based Alignment Model for Long Sequential Recommendation
Recent advances in multimodal recommendation enable richer item understanding, while modeling users' multi-scale interests across temporal horizons has attracted growing attention. However, effectively exploiting multimodal item sequences and mining multi-grained user interests to substantially bridge the gap between content comprehension and recommendation remain challenging. To address these issues, we propose MUFASA, a MUltimodal Fusion And Sparse Attention-based Alignment model for long seq…

Hashing for Fast Pattern Set Selection
Pattern set mining, which is the task of finding a good set of patterns instead of all patterns, is a fundamental problem in data mining. Many different definitions of what constitutes a good set have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, we consider the reconstruction error as a proxy measure for the goodness of the set, and concentrate on the adjacent problem of how to find a good set efficiently. We propose a method based on bottom-k hashing for efficiently selecting the set and exte…

A Methodological Framework for LLM-Based Mining of Software Repositories
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in software engineering research, offering new opportunities for automating repository mining tasks. However, despite their growing popularity, the methodological integration of LLMs into Mining Software Repositories (MSR) remains poorly understood. Existing studies tend to focus on specific capabilities or performance benchmarks, providing limited insight into how researchers utilize LLMs across the full research pipeline. To address this gap,…

Alice and the Caterpillar: A more descriptive null model for assessing data mining results
We introduce novel null models for assessing the results obtained from observed binary transactional and sequence datasets, using statistical hypothesis testing. Our null models maintain more properties of the observed dataset than existing ones. Specifically, they preserve the Bipartite Joint Degree Matrix of the bipartite (multi-)graph corresponding to the dataset, which ensures that the number of caterpillars, i.e., paths of length three, is preserved, in addition to other properties conside…

Attack Pattern Mining to Discover Hidden Threats to Industrial Control Systems
This work focuses on validation of attack pattern mining in the context of Industrial Control System (ICS) security. A comprehensive security assessment of an ICS requires generating a large and variety of attack patterns. For this purpose we have proposed a data driven technique to generate attack patterns for an ICS. The proposed technique has been used to generate over 100,000 attack patterns from data gathered from an operational water treatment plant. In this work we present a detailed cas…

Why forests aren't coming back after gold mining in the Amazon #Amazon

Why forests aren't coming back after gold mining in the Amazon
Forests in the Peruvian Amazon aren't growing back after gold mining—not just because the soil is damaged by toxic metals, but because the land has been depleted of its water. A common mining method known as suction mining reshapes the terrain in ways that drain moisture and trap heat, creating harsh conditions where even replanted seedlings can't survive.

While the rare earth market is dominated by China, Canada also has some of the largest reserves in the world.
But new rare earth mining projects have to balance the need for these materials with the environmental impacts that mining has on the land. 
Instead of starting from scratch, the University of Alberta and Calgary-based CVW CleanTech are trying to mine these valuable substances from tailings, a waste product of open-pit oilsands mining.

Unveiling Privacy Policy Complexity: An Exploratory Study Using Graph Mining, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing
Privacy policy documents are often lengthy, complex, and difficult for non-expert users to interpret, leading to a lack of transparency regarding the collection, processing, and sharing of personal data. As concerns over online privacy grow, it is essential to develop automated tools capable of analyzing privacy policies and identifying potential risks. In this study, we explore the potential of interactive graph visualizations to enhance user understanding of privacy policies by representing p…

Cross-Organizational Analysis of Parliamentary Processes: A Case Study
Process Mining has been widely adopted by businesses and has been shown to help organizations analyze and optimize their processes. However, so far, little attention has gone into the cross-organizational comparison of processes, since many companies are hesitant to share their data. In this paper, we explore the processes of German state parliaments that are often legally required to share their data and run the same type of processes for different geographical regions. This paper is the first…

When Ecuadorians voted two years ago to block oil drilling in Yasuni National Park,
it was a triumph for environmentalists seeking to protect one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
And it was in character for a country that was first to enshrine the “rights of nature” in its constitution
and is home to parts of the Amazon rain forest and the Galšpagos Islands.

Some in Ecuador worry about Noboa moves unwinding nation's green reputation
Recent moves in Ecuador have environmental interests concerned that the South American nation is unwinding some of the basis for its green reputation. President Daniel Noboa has eliminated the Environment Ministry as an independent institution, folding it into the Energy and Mines Ministry. Activists and Indigenous leaders say the move weakens protections for some of the world’s most biodiverse areas and paves the way for expanded oil and mining projects. They also warn that a proposed law os…

A Game-Theoretic Foundation for Bitcoin's Price: A Security-Utility Equilibrium
This paper introduces a structural game-theoretic model to value decentralized digital assets like Bitcoin. Instead of relying on speculative beliefs, it frames the asset's price within a Rational-Expectations Security-Utility Nash Equilibrium (RESUNE). This equilibrium is a fixed point where the market-clearing price dictates the hash rate through a free-entry mining model, which in turn endogenously sets the network's security. The security, defined as one minus the probability of a 51% attac…
