Mining Ecological Data with Cellular Automata
Campbell, Alexander B., Pham, Binh L., & Tian, Yu-Chu (2004) Mining Ecological Data with Cellular Automata. In Cellular Automata for Research and Industry 2004, 25-27 October, 2004, University of Amsterdam, Science Park Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
This paper introduces a Cellular Automata (CA) approach to spatiotemporal data mining (STDM). The recently increasing interest in using Genetic Algorithms and other evolutionary techniques to identify CA model parameters has been mainly focused on performing artificial computational tasks such as density classification. This work investigates the potential to extend this research to spatial and spatiotemporal data mining tasks and presents some preliminary experimental results. The purpose is twofold: to motivate and explore an evolutionary CA approach to STDM, and to highlight the suitability of evolutionary CA models to problems that are ostensibly more difficult than, for example, density classification. The problem of predicting wading-bird nest site locations in ecological data is used throughout to illustrate the concepts,and provides the framework for experimental analysis.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from and citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from theindexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
