In this paper, we present a prognosis architecture that allows the computation of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a failing process. A process subject to an incipient fault experiments slowly developing degradation. Sensor measurements and Condition Monitoring (CM) data extracted from the system allow to follow up the process drift. The prognosis architecture we propose makes use of a dynamical...
This paper describes an automatic topic extraction, categorization, and relevance ranking model for multi-lingual surveys and questions that exploits machine learning algorithms such as topic modeling and fuzzy clustering. Automatically generated question and survey categories are used to build question banks and category-specific survey templates. First, we describe different pre-processing steps...
Learning with imbalanced datasets has been a major topic of study for many years. In this paper, we focus on a type of imbalance called imbalance due to rare instances. Such imbalances occur in a variety of domains. Rare instances have received less focus in prediction problems and we wish to draw attention to how accuracy can be improved in the presence of rare data. We discuss an approach to regression...
Ensemble feature selection has recently become a topic of interest for researchers, especially in the area of bioinformatics. The benefits of ensemble feature selection include increased feature (gene) subset stability and usefulness as well as comparable (or better) classification performance compared to using a single feature selection method. However, existing work on ensemble feature selection...
Numerical simulation has become an inevitable tool in most industrial product development processes with simulations being used to understand the influence of design decisions (parameter configurations) on the structure and properties of the product. However, in order to allow the engineer to thoroughly explore the design space and fine-tune parameters, many -- usually very time-consuming -- simulation...
This paper introduces an unsupervised model for melodic segmentation that extends a method initially proposed in computational biology. In the model segments are identified as sections of maximal contrast within a musical piece, using for this the Jensen-Shannon divergence. The model is extended upon its original formulation, and experiments to test its performance are carried out for a small set...
This paper introduces a neural fuzzy network approach for evolving system modeling. The approach uses neofuzzy neurons and a neural fuzzy structure monished with an incremental learning algorithm that includes adaptive feature selection. The feature selection mechanism starts considering one or more input variables from a given set of variables, and decides if a new variable should be added, or if...
We address the problem of moving object detection in aerial video. Moving object detection in aerial video is still a challenging problem for the reason that when capturing the video the camera (or the platform) is moving all the time. As a result, the problem is detecting moving object from moving background which is much more difficult than the case that the background is constant. To this end,...
