Abstract As an emerging trend in big data science, applications based on the Quantified-Self (QS) engage individuals in the self-tracking of any kind of biological, physical, behavioral, or environmental information as individuals or groups. There are new needs and opportunities for recommender systems to develop new models/approaches to support QS application users. Recommender systems can help to more easily identify relevant artifacts for users and thus improve user experiences....

Abstract Subspace clustering is the process of identifying clusters with objects similar in subsets of attributes defining subspaces. The three major challenges faced by subspace clustering are: firstly, the subspace clustering algorithms explore exponential number of subspaces which possibly contain redundant clusters. This challenge is handled by a rough set based approach called interesting subspace clustering, (ISC) algorithm that improves the efficiency of the process by pre-pruning...
