I am currently involved with the generation of useful movie recommendations for users. In my research, I investigate a bayesian probabilistical framework that takes into account:

The fact that, in a recommended movie list, the utility of movies interfere with one another;the fact that a recommended movie list should maximize the probability of having at least one item that is actually selected by an user;the fact that the recommended movie list should cover, as much as possible, all different hues present in a particular user tastes.I am currently mining ratings patterns at the MovieLens datasets (http://www.grouplens.org/node/73).5About meName: Anderson Chaves CarnielNationality: Brazilian

Title: Granular Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition and Granular Mining Classification and clustering of real life data sets, including microarray gene expression data, based on the proposed granular neural networks.A new fuzzy rough entropy measure for validating the clustering solutions is proposed by comparing the existing measures, Beta index and DB-index.Future Work: - Proposing a new granular neural network for selecting salient features of real-life data sets.

ProblemWide variety of information systems aimed at cataloging phenotypic descriptions of living beings, which adopt heterogeneous models, hampering data integration.

GoalTo Integrate phenotype-related heterogeneous models via alignment of their metamodels.

ContributionsSemi-automatic approach to connect free text phenotypic descriptions to equivalent ontology-based descriptions;Automated integration of the large volume of existing phenotypic descriptions.
