This paper presents a novel dimensionality reduction method, called uncorrelated transferable feature extraction (UTFE), for signal classification in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Considering the difference between the source and target distributions of signals from different subjects, we construct an optimization objective that finds a projection matrix to transform the original data in a high-dimensional...
Trajectory-based human activity recognition aims at understanding human behaviors in video sequences. Some existing approaches to this problem, e.g., hidden Markov models (HMM), have a severe limitation, namely the number of motions has to be preset. In fact, this number is difficult to define in advance in real practice. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose a new method for modeling human trajectories...
Transfer learning, serving as one of the most important research directions in machine learning, has been studied in various fields in recent years. In this paper, we integrate the theory of multi-view learning into transfer learning and propose a new algorithm named Multi-View Transfer Learning with Adaboost (MV-TL Adaboost). Different from many previous works on transfer learning, we not only focus...
Feature selection for ensembles can often improve generalization accuracy of classifiers. In this paper we present a strategy on the feature selection for ensembles based on a hierarchical Non-dominated Sorting in Genetic Algorithms (NSGA-II) proposed by Deb. The first level of our strategy performs feature selection in order to generate a set of good classifiers, the second one deletes redundant...
An adaptive k-nearest neighbor algorithm (AdaNN) is brought forward in this paper to overcome the limitation of the traditional k-nearest neighbor algorithm (kNN) which usually identifies the same number of nearest neighbors for each test example. It is known that the value of k has crucial influence on the performance of the kNN algorithm, and our improved kNN algorithm focuses on finding out the...
This paper compares the performance of linear and nonlinear kernels of Support Vector Machines (SVM) used for text classification. The study is motivated by the previous viewpoint that linear SVM performs better than nonlinear one, and that, although there are many investigations have proved that SVM performs well in text classification, there is no serious investigation on the comparison between...
Ensemble learning plays an important role in pattern recognition. It combines multiple generated models to solve learning problems, such as classification, regression and feature selection. Existing ensemble methods combine classifiers which are generated and run in parallel. In this paper, a novel ensemble learning approach for semi-supervised learning is proposed. Different from existing ensemble...
For multi-view learning, existing methods usually exploit originally provided features for classifier training, which ignore the latent correlation between different views. In this paper, semantic features integrating information from multiple views are extracted for pattern representation. Canonical correlation analysis is used to learn the representation of semantic spaces where semantic features...
Biometrics based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is an emerging research topic. Several recent results have shown its feasibility and potential for personal identification. However, they all use a single task (e.g., signals recorded during imagination of repetitive left hand movements or during resting with eyes open) for classifier design and subsequent identification. In contrast with this,...
Traditional neural network approaches for traffic flow forecasting are usually single task learning (STL) models, which do not take advantage of the information provided by related tasks. In contrast to STL, multitask learning (MTL) has the potential to improve generalization by transferring information in training signals of extra tasks. In this paper, MTL based neural networks are used for traffic...
