| 2022 | Diagnosis of infectious factors in patients with chronic glomerular disease using deep learning-based health information dataabstractAbstract The study was aimed to explore the effect of information health data based on deep learning of neural network to diagnose the infectious factors of patients with chronic glomerular disease (CGD) and evaluate its diagnostic effect. Ninety patients with CGD were selected and randomly rolled into control group A, control group B, and observation group, with 30 cases in each group. Big data scientific research analysis platform was used for data integration, convolutional neural network (CNN) was employed for feature analysis, correlation analysis, and screening of disease‐related biomarkers. The patients were diagnosed by observation of symptoms and signs, combined diagnosis of blood test and urine test, and information health data diagnosis based on deep learning CNN. As a result, the specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of information health data diagnosis based on deep learning CNN were 78.9%, 87.6%, and 92.1%, respectively. The main sources of infections in patients were lung infections, bloodstream infections, urinary system infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and upper respiratory tract infections. Amongst them, lung infection accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 65.4%, followed by blood infection (11.2%) and skin tissue infection (9.6%). The pathogens of infection were mainly bacteria, viruses, fungi, tuberculosis, and pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), amongst which bacterial infections accounted for the highest proportion (31.5%), followed by PCP (25.6%). In short, the information health data based on deep learning CNN had high specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for the diagnosis of CGD. The main infectious factors of CGD were pulmonary infection and blood infection, and the pathogens were mainly bacteria and viruses. Canxin Zhou, Xinhan Li, Xuxia Ying |

| 2017 | Efficient Metric Indexing for Similarity Search and Similarity JoinsabstractSpatial queries including similarity search and similarity joins are useful in many areas, such as multimedia retrieval, data integration, and so on. However, they are not supported well by commercial DBMSs. This may be due to the complex data types involved and the needs for flexible similarity criteria seen in real applications. In this paper, we propose a versatile and efficient disk-based index for metric data, the Space-fillingcurve and Pivot-based B+-tree (SPB-tree). This index leverages the B+-tree, and uses space-filling curve to cluster data into compact regions, thus achieving storage efficiency. It utilizes a small set of so-called pivots to reduce significantly the number of distance computations when using the index. Further, it makes use of a separate random access file to support abroad range of data. By design, it is easyto integrate the SPB-tree into an existing DBMS. We present efficient algorithms for processing similarity search and similarity joins, as well as corresponding cost models based on SPB-trees. Extensive experiments using both real and synthetic data show that, compared with state-of-the-art competitors, the SPB-tree has much lower construction cost, smallerstorage size, and supports more efficient similarity search and similarity joins with high accuracy cost models.

| 2015 | Efficient metric indexing for similarity searchabstractThe goal in similarity search is to find objects similar to a specified query object given a certain similarity criterion. Although useful in many areas, such as multimedia retrieval, pattern recognition, and computational biology, to name but a few, similarity search is not yet supported well by commercial DBMS. This may be due to the complex data types involved and the needs for flexible similarity criteria seen in real applications. We propose an efficient disk-based metric access method, the Space-filling curve and Pivot-based B+-tree (SPB-tree), to support a wide range of data types and similarity metrics. The SPB-tree uses a small set of so-called pivots to reduce significantly the number of distance computations, uses a space-filling curve to cluster the data into compact regions, thus improving storage efficiency, and utilizes a B+-tree with minimum bounding box information as the underlying index. The SPB-tree also employs a separate random access file to efficiently manage a large and complex data. By design, it is easy to integrate the SPB-tree into an existing DBMS. We present efficient similarity search algorithms and corresponding cost models based on the SPB-tree. Extensive experiments using real and synthetic data show that the SPB-tree has much lower construction cost, smaller storage size, and can support more efficient similarity queries with high accuracy cost models than is the case for competing techniques. Moreover, the SPB-tree scales sublinearly with growing dataset size. Lu Chen 0001, Yunjun Gao, Xinhan Li, Christian S. Jensen, Gang Chen 0001 |

| 2015 | Indexing Metric Uncertain Data for Range QueriesabstractRange queries in metric spaces have applications in many areas such as multimedia retrieval, computational biology, and location-based services, where metric uncertain data exists in different forms, resulting from equipment limitations, high-throughput sequencing technologies, privacy preservation, or others. In this paper, we represent metric uncertain data by using an object-level model and a bi-level model, respectively. Two novel indexes, the uncertain pivot B+-tree (UPB-tree) and the uncertain pivot B+-forest (UPB-forest), are proposed accordingly in order to support probabilistic range queries w.r.t. a wide range of uncertain data types and similarity metrics. Both index structures use a small set of effective pivots chosen based on a newly defined criterion, and employ the B+-tree(s) as the underlying index. By design, they are easy to be integrated into any existing DBMS. In addition, we present efficient metric probabilistic range query algorithms, which utilize the validation and pruning techniques based on our derived probability lower and upper bounds. Extensive experiments with both real and synthetic data sets demonstrate that, compared against existing state-of-the-art indexes for metric uncertain data, the UPB-tree and UPB-forest incur much lower construction costs, consume smaller storage spaces, and can support more efficient metric probabilistic range queries.
