Pulsar candidate selection identifies prospective observations of modern radio pulsar surveys for further inspection in search of real pulsars. Typically, human experts visually select valuable candidates and eliminate radio frequency interference or other noises. Recently, machine learning methods are adopted to automate this task, which saves human labor and makes it possible for processing millions...
Feature extraction methods have an important role in image classification. In this paper, a hybrid texture feature descriptor is proposed by utilizing the attributes of two complementary features, PRICoLBP and LPQ. PRICoLBP performs well in the case of geometric and photometric variations however it does not properly express the local texture of an image, while LPQ method performs well for the local...
This paper presents a deep learning method application to the extraction of emotions included in Chinese speech with a deep belief network (DBN) structure. Eight proper features such as pitch, mel frequency cepstrum coefficient (MFCC) are chosen from mandarin speech used as network inputs, and a DBN classifier is used instead of traditional shallow learning methods to recognition of emotions. Experiment...
Texture classification is an important problem in image analysis. A considerable amount of research work has been done for local or global rotation invariant feature extraction for texture classification. Local invariant features contain the spatial information, but usually do not have the contrast information. A new hybrid approach is proposed which considers the contrast information in spatial domain...
Image annotation is the process of assigning proper keywords to describe the content of a given image, which can be regarded as a problem of multi-object image classification. In this paper, a general multi-label annotation algorithm is proposed, which is based on sparse representation theory and employs a multi-level decision method to deal with the multi-object classification problem. The experimental...
Recently, a new representation for recognizing instances and categories of scenes called spatial Principal component analysis of Census Transform histograms (PACT) has shown its excellent performance in the scene image classification task. PACT captures local structures of an image through the Census Transform (CT), meanwhile, large scale structures are captured by the strong correlation between neighboring...
In automatic image annotation, it is often extracting low-level visual features from original image for the purpose of mapping to high level image semantic information. In this paper, we propose a novel method which integrates kernel independent component analysis (KICA) and support vector machine (SVM) for analyzing the semantic information of natural images. KICA, which contains a nonlinear kernel...
In order to improve the classifier performance in semantic image annotation, we propose a novel method which adopts learning vector quantization (LVQ) technique to optimize low level feature data extracted from given image. Some representative vectors are selected with LVQ to train support vector machine (SVM) classifier instead of using all feature data. Performance is compared between the methods...
In this paper, we propose a method by engaging the one class support vector machine (OC-SVM) in the identification of diffractive optically variable images (DOVIs). OC-SVM, as a special SVM, can solve the problems of high-dimensional data sets and small sample size (SSS) with positive and negative unbalance training data. Image feature matrix is built by extracting image features from texture aspects...
Some techniques have been applied to improving software quality by classifying the software modules into fault-prone or non fault-prone categories. This can help developers focus on some high risk fault-prone modules. In this paper, a distribution-based Bayesian quadratic discriminant analysis (D-BQDA) technique is experimental investigated to identify software fault-prone modules. Experiments with...
The software development process imposes major impacts on the quality of software at every development stage; therefore, a common goal of each software development phase concerns how to improve software quality. Software quality prediction thus aims to evaluate software quality level periodically and to indicate software quality problems early. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to predict...
