Time series data are ubiquitous and are of importance in many application problems in engineering, science, medicine, economics and entertainment. Many real world pattern classification problems involve the processing and analysis of multiple variables in the temporal domain. These types of problems are referred to as Multivariate Time Series (MTS) problems. In many real-world applications, an MTS...
A novel fMRI classification method designed for rapid event related fMRI experiments is described and applied to the classification of loud reading of isolated words in Hebrew. Three comparisons of different grammatical complexity were performed: (i) words versus asterisks (ii) “with diacritics versus without diacritics” and (iii) “with root versus no root”. We discuss the most difficult task and,...
Minutiae, as the essential features of fingerprints, play a significant role in fingerprint recognition systems. Most existing minutiae extraction methods are based on a series of hand-defined preprocesses such as binarization, thinning and enhancement. However, these preprocesses require strong prior knowledge and are always lossy operations. And that will lead to dropped or false extractions of...
With the development of deep learning, word vectors (i.e., word embeddings) have been extensively explored and applied to many Natural Language Processing tasks (e.g., parsing, Named Entity Recognition, etc). However, the semantic word vectors learned from context have insufficient sentiment information for performing sentiment analysis at different text levels. In this work, we present three Convolutional...
This paper studies Aspect-based Opinion Summarization (AOS) of reviews on particular products. In practice, an AOS system needs to address two core subtasks, aspect extraction and sentiment classification. Most existing approaches to aspect extraction, using linguistic analysis or topic modeling, are general across different products but not precise enough or suitable for particular products. Instead...
In this paper, we propose a deep convolutional neural network solution to the analysis of image data for the detection of rail surface defects. The images are obtained from many hours of automated video recordings. This huge amount of data makes it impossible to manually inspect the images and detect rail surface defects. Therefore, automated detection of rail defects can help to save time and costs,...
This paper presents a simulated memristor crossbar implementation of a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In the past few years deep neural networks implemented on GPU clusters have become the state of the art in image classification. They provide excellent classification ability at the cost of a more complex data manipulation process. However once these systems are trained, we show that the...
This paper presents a fast algorithmic method to train convolutional neural network (CNN) classifiers through extreme learning which has been verified on popular datasets on classification and pedestrian detection. CNN has been one of the best classifiers for images and object recognition. However, the Backpropagation (BP) algorithm, mostly used for training CNN, suffers from slow learning, local...
