Drug-target interaction identification is of highly importance in drug research and development. The traditional experimental paradigm is costly, while the previous in silico prediction paradigm remains a challenge because of diversified data production platforms and data scarcity. In this paper, we modeled drug-target interaction prediction as a binary classification task based on transcriptome data...
Fingerprinting Localization Solutions (FPSs) enjoy huge popularity due to their good performance and minimal environment information requirement. Considered as a data-driven approach, many modern data analytics can be used to improve its performance. In this paper, we propose tow learning algorithms, namely a deep learning architecture for regression and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification,...
Gender is one of the most useful facial attributes which are detected from human face images. In this work, we introduce a new gender classification system based on features extracted by Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) operators from intensity and Monogenic images. More detailed, the LPQ features are obtained from the input image (the intensity one) and from three other Monogenic components in the...
Identification of the correct medicinal plants that goes in to the preparation of a medicine is very important in ayurvedic medicinal industry. The main features required to identify a medicinal plant is its leaf shape, colour and texture. Colour and texture from both sides of the leaf contain deterministic parameters to identify the species. This paper explores feature vectors from both the front...
SVM (Support Vector Machine), a state of the art classifier model is implemented on a computational mobile platform and its performances are evaluated against a low complexity classifier such as SFSVC (Super Fast Vector Support Classifier) on the same platform. For a better comparison, similar implementation for the two architectures are considered, such as using the same basic linear algebra library...
Recently, the combination of classification systems with semi-supervised learning has attracted researchers in several fields. Usually, for tasks with high complexity such as handwriting based age prediction, individual systems, using one classifier associated with specific data features, cannot provide satisfactory performance. In this paper, we investigate the contribution of the Co-training approach,...
In this paper we shall present recent results of two applications for monitoring using acoustical signal classification. The first case study is the problem of context awareness based on acoustic analysis for a service robot. Then we discussed the acoustic classification for wildlife intruder detection. Previous results are briefly recalled and new experimental results are also provided.
The importance of face anti-spoofing algorithms in biometric authentication systems is becoming indispensable. Recently, the success of Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) in key application areas of computer vision has encouraged its use in face biometrics for face anti-spoofing and verification applications. However, small training data has restricted the use of deep CNN architectures for face anti-spoofing...
Neuroscience researchers have a keen interest in finding the connection between various brain regions of an organism. Researchers all across the globe are finding new connections everyday and it is very difficult to keep track of all those, so it is important to create a centralized system which is able to give the relation between brain entities. Databases like PubMed contains abstracts and references...
In this paper, we propose a method to classify K-pop dance based on motion data obtained from Kinect V2 for research of motion classification and development of anti-plagiarism system. To do this, 200-point dances of K-pop are acquired. Dance motions from 40 amateur dancers are acquired to construct a total of 400 data. The proposed classification method consists of three steps. First, we obtain 13...
This study presents an age and gender estimation system that considers ethnic difference in face images using a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) and Support Vector Machine(SVM). Most age and gender estimation systems using face images are trained on ethnicity-biased databases. Therefore, these systems show limited performance on face images of ethnic groups occupying a small proportion of the training...
Waste management in Urban Cities of India is a serious concern with growing amounts of uncollected garbage on the streets. In this paper, we present a mobile application based solution to empower the citizens to report instances of uncollected garbage and draw the attention of authorities. Our application has been successfully deployed and has seen more than a million complaints registered across...
We propose the Component Bio-Inspired Feature (CBIF) with a moving segmentation scheme for age estimation. The CBIF defines a superset for the commonly used Bio-Inspired Feature (BIF) with more parameters and flexibility in settings, resulting in features with abundant characteristics. An in-depth study is performed for the determination of the parameters good for capturing age-related traits. The...
This paper describes a preliminary investigation of Voice Pathology Detection using Deep Neural Networks (DNN). We used voice recordings of sustained vowel /a/ produced at normal pitch from German corpus Saarbruecken Voice Database (SVD). This corpus contains voice recordings and electroglottograph signals of more than 2 000 speakers. The idea behind this experiment is the use of convolutional layers...
The paper proposes a simple, low-cost signature verification approach and software that can be employed as one of the components of a more sophisticated personal identification system. The identification is based on the use of local binary pattern features of a signature image. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) model is chosen to classify the authentic signatures from their imitations.
Sparse representation based classification (SRC) has been introduced as a new algorithm for face recognition classification instead of the classical gradient-based algorithms. However, there are some limitations that influence the robustness properties in SRC. One of the most effective parameters that impacts the SRC performance is the directory of training samples. It should contain enough samples...
Embedded dictation, i.e. recognizing vocal commands in noisy environments, with good accuracy and using low complexity implementations is a desirable task with many applications. Such applications include automotive infotainment solutions particularly when no connectivity is available, personal assistants including embedded dictation solutions for disabled people, and so on. This paper reports our...
During the past decade, non-coding RNA has been an exploding area of interest for researches from many fields, from cellular biology to medical applications. A commercial application of these molecules is the RNA interference process (RNAi) from which there are available reagents and a database of documented unwanted side effects, such as the generation of an immunomodulatory response that might be...
The presence of struck-out text in handwritten manuscripts may affect the accuracy of automated writer identification. This paper presents a study on such effects of struck-out text. Here we consider offline English and Bengali handwritten document images. At first, the struck-out texts are detected using a hybrid classifier of a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and an SVM (Support Vector Machine)...
Recently, deep features extracted from Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been widely adopted in various applications, such as face recognition. Compared with the handcrafted descriptors, deep features have more powerful representation ability which can lead to better performance. Effective feature representations play an important role in ear recognition. While deep features have not been...
