Segment Routing (SR) can be used as a traffic engineering strategy to counteract increasing loads on networks like Internet Service Provider (ISP) backbones. Many SR approaches, however, optimize traffic flows that were measured in the past. This paper introduces a new tunnel training architecture. It aims to show that the results of these strategies can still be beneficial for routing new traffic...
Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) have received special attention in the last decade due to their outstanding results in number of applications, such as face and human motion recognition, and collaborative filtering, among others. However, one of the main concerns about RBMs is related to the number of hidden units, which is application-dependent. Infinite RBM (iRBM) was proposed as an alternative...
The visual and automatic classification of vehicles plays an important role in the Transport Area. Besides of security issues, the monitoring of the type of traffic in streets and highways, as well the traffic dynamics over time, allows the optimization of use and of resources related to such public infrastructure. In this work we propose a novel method, called 2D-DBM, for robust and efficient automatic...
Multi-objective optimization plays an important role when one has fitness functions that are somehow conflicting with each other. Also, parameter-dependent machine learning techniques can benefit from such optimization tools. In this paper, we propose a multi-objective-based strategy approach to build compact though representative training sets for Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) learning purposes. Although...
Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are the dominant technique widely used in English and Chinese speech recognition currently. However, Tibetan speech recognition research starts late and mainly uses Hidden Markov Model (HMM). In this paper, We show a better method of replacing Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) by DNN to Tibetan Lhasa dialect speech recognition system. The system contains seven layers of features...

Put forward the curriculum design of Web network based on the teaching of Japanese intensive...
The death of the patients is an important event in the intensive care unit (ICU), mortality risk prediction thus offers much information for clinical decision making. However, Patient ICU mortality prediction faces challenges in many aspects, such as high dimensionality, imbalance distribution. In this paper, we modified the cost-sensitive principal component analysis (CSPCA), which is denoted by...
In this paper, we propose a modified architecture of a Pi-Sigma Neural Network (PSNN) based on two modifications: extension of the activation function and adding delays to neurons in the hidden layer. These new networks are called respectively Activation Function Extended Pi-Sigma (AFEPS) and Delayed Pi-Sigma (DPS) are obtained first by adding an activation function to all hidden neurons and secondly...
One-class support vector machines (OCSVM) have been recently applied to detect anomalies in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Typically, OCSVM is kernelized by radial bais functions (RBF, or Gausian kernel) whereas selecting Gaussian kernel hyperparameter is based upon availability of anomalies, which is rarely applicable in practice. This article investigates the application of OCSVM to detect anomalies...
Parameter prediction with high precision is of great importance for real-time condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of the thermal system during variable load process. This paper presents a performance enhancement scheme for the extreme learning machine (ELM) to predict the operating parameters of the thermal system using particle swarm optimization (PSO). ELM is a feed-forward neural network with...
Classifiers trained on given databases perform poorly when tested on data acquired in different settings. This is explained in domain adaptation through a shift among distributions of the source and target domains. Attempts to align them have traditionally resulted in works reducing the domain shift by introducing appropriate loss terms, measuring the discrepancies between source and target distributions,...
The interactive image segmentation model allows users to iteratively add new inputs for refinement until a satisfactory result is finally obtained. Therefore, an ideal interactive segmentation model should learn to capture the user's intention with minimal interaction. However, existing models fail to fully utilize the valuable user input information in the segmentation refinement process and thus...

Subject to the ill-posed gradient difficulty in the optimization with...

Proactive caching is a promising technology in 5G wireless networks. Small-cell base stations (SBS) can cache popular contents to assist the macro base station, and proactive caching are considered to cope with the weak backhaul links of SBSs. However, obtaining popular contents and making the optimal caching strategy may be challenging. In this paper, a novel learning-based approach is proposed,...
We present a deep learning architecture for learning fuzzy logic expressions. Our model uses an innovative, parameterized, differentiable activation function that can learn a number of logical operations by gradient descent. This activation function allows a neural network to determine the relationships between its input variables and provides insight into the logical significance of learned network...
Deep multi-layer neural networks are generally trained using variants of the gradient descent based algorithm. However, this kind of algorithms usually encounter a series of shortcomings, such as low training efficiency, local minimum, difficult control parameter tuning, and gradient vanishing or exploding. Besides, for a specific application, how to design the structure of the network, that is, how...
In recent years, several new methods for missing data estimation have been developed. Real world datasets possess the properties of big data being volume, velocity and variety. With an increase in volume which includes sample size and dimensionality, existing imputation methods have become less effective and accurate. Much attention has been given to narrow Artificial Intelligence frameworks courtesy...
