A challenging problem in object recognition is to train a robust classifier with small and imbalanced data set. In such cases, the learned classifier tends to overfit the training data and has low prediction accuracy on the minority class. In this paper, we address the problem of class imbalanced object recognition by combining synthetic minorities over-sampling technique (SMOTE) and instance-based...
Mining advisor-advisee relationships can benefit many interesting applications such as advisor recommendation and protege performance analysis. Based on the hypothesis that, advisor-advisee relationships among researchers are hidden in scholarly big data, we propose in this work a deep learning based advisor-advisee relationship identification method which considers the personal properties and network...
Haze and mist always affect the quality of vision. If an image is suffered from haze or mist, then the object is unclear and the image seems whiter than the original one. There are several haze removal algorithms that can reduce the effect of haze and mist. However, if an image is not suffered from the haze and mist, applying the haze removal algorithm may darken the image. Therefore, in computer...
Making the science assessment and prediction of the credit risk of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) is a significant part of risk management of commercial bank. This paper firstly integrates Genetic Algorithm (GA) with v-SVR model, creates the credit prediction model, GA-v-SVR, and then builds the SME credit risk indicator system. Using principal component analysis method screens out the...
To deal with the problem of view invariant action recognition, this paper presents a novel approach to recognize human actions across cameras via reconstructable paths. Each action is modelled as a bag of visual-words based on the spatio-temporal features. Although this action representation is sensitive to view changes, the proposed reconstructable path is able to “translate” the action descriptor...
sophisticated automatic incident detection (AID) technology plays a key role in contemporary transportation systems. Though many papers were devoted to study incident classification algorithms, few study investigated how to enhance feature representation of incidents to improve AID performance. In this paper, we propose to use an unsupervised feature learning algorithm to generate higher level features...
Satellite information is an important source of the decision-level intelligence in battlefield. Research of the multi-source information decision-level fusion provides a key technical approach for distilling comprehensive satellite information and acquiring decision-level intelligences. A SVMs-DS model adopting statistics theory and uncertainty reasoning method in the article, ensures precision and...
An epitope activates B cells to amplify and induce antibodies which can neutralize the foreign molecules, particles and pathogens. It also plays a crucial role in developing synthetic peptides for vaccination. Identification of epitopes using biological screening approaches is time consuming and high cost. Therefore, bioinformatics approaches are developed to enhance the speed of identifying the epitopes...
We present an intensity neighborhood-based system for segmenting arbitrary biomedical image datasets using supervised learning. Because neighborhood methods are often associated with high-dimensional feature vectors, we explore a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based method to reduce the dimensionality (and provide computational savings) of each neighborhood. Our results show that the system can...
Reduced Support Vector Machine (RSVM) was proposed as an alternate of the standard SVM. Motivated by resolving the difficulty on handling large data sets using SVM, it pre-extracts a subset of data as `support vectors' and solves a smaller optimization problem. But it selects `support vectors' randomly from the training set, and this will affect the result. A new method called reduced support vector...
We have recently found that the computation time of homology-based subcellular localization can be substantially reduced by aligning profiles up to the cleavage site positions of signal peptides, mitochondrial targeting peptides, and chloro-plast transit peptides [1]. While the method can reduce the profile alignment time by as much as 20 folds, it cannot reduce the computation time spent on creating...
The reduced support vector machine (RSVM) was proposed to overcome the computational difficulties as well as to reduce the model complexity in generating a nonlinear separating surface for a massive data set. However, it selects `support vectors' randomly from the training set, this will effect the result. To overcome this shortcoming of RSVM, an improved RSVM algorithm is presented in this paper...
Sparse representation in compressed sensing is a hot topic in signal processing and artificial intelligence due to its success in various applications. A general classification algorithm based on sparse representation theory named Sparse Representation Classification (SRC) was successfully applied in face recognition. In this paper, we research the issue of facial expression recognition (FER) via...
The functions of proteins are closely related to their subcellular locations. In the post-proteomics era, the amount of gene and protein data grows exponentially, which necessitates the prediction of subcellular localization by computational means. This paper proposes mitigating the computation burden of alignment-based approaches to subcellular localization prediction by using the information provided...
This paper presents an algorithm using discriminative sparse representations to segment tissues in optical images of the uterine cervix. Because of the large variations in the image appearance caused by the changing of illumination and specular reflection, the different classes of color and texture features in optical images are often overlapped with each other. Using sparse representations they can...
Anomaly intrusion detection is an important issue in computer network security. As a step of data preprocessing, attribute normalization is essential to detection performance. However, many anomaly detection methods do not normalize attributes before training and detection. Few methods consider to normalize the attributes but the question of which normalization method is more effective still remains...
In this paper, we introduce a new classifier ensemble approach, applied to tissue segmentation in optical images of the uterine cervix. Ensemble methods combine the predictions of a set of diverse classifiers. The main contribution of our approach is an effective way of combination based on each classifier's performance level-namely, the sensitivity p and specificity q, which also produces an optimal...
We empirically evaluate a distance-guided learning method embedded in a multiple classifier system (MCS) for tissue segmentation in optical images of the uterine cervix. Instead of combining multiple base classifiers as in traditional ensemble methods, we propose a Bhattacharyya distance based metric for measuring the similarity in decision boundary shapes between a pair of statistical classifiers...
The problem of ranking has recently gained attention in data learning. The goal ranking is to learn a real-valued ranking function that induces a ranking or ordering over an instance space. In this paper, we apply popular Bayesian techniques on ranking support vector machine. We propose a novel differentiable loss function called trigonometric loss function with the desirable characteristic of natural...
