In the complex pattern classification problem, the fusion of multiple classification results produced by different attributes is able to efficiently improve the accuracy. Evidence theory is good at representing and combining the uncertain information, and it is employed here. Each attribute (set) can be considered as one source of evidence (information). In some applications, the observation of target...
Information is at the center of decision making in many systems and use-cases. In cooperative or hostile environments, agents communicate their subjective opinions about various phenomenon. However, sources of these opinions are not always competent and honest but often erroneous or even malicious. Furthermore, malicious sources may adopt certain behaviors to mislead the decision maker in a specific...
Classification problems in critical applications such as health care or security often require very high reliability because of the high costs of errors. In order to achieve this reliability, such systems often require the use of sequential inspections, where additional data can be collected to resolve ambiguous test cases. It is impractical or costly to collect this additional data on every sample,...
Exploring the status of college teacher's job satisfaction and influencing factors has a constructive role for raising the level of teaching and research, enhancing academic competitiveness, attracting and retaining talented people. Treating their own jobs, the satisfaction of college teachers is actually a subjective evaluation, which a kind of emotional responses and attitudes. The emotions and...
This study focuses on famous international tourist hotels in Taiwan. The five criteria of the service quality model (PZB) serve as basis during fitness club customer survey conductions. Firstly, data is collected using literature review method. Then experts and customers opinions are obtained using Delphi Method. After that, calculations and analysis are done using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various conditions (video with text, video with audio, video with audio and text) of feedback during video practice in the use of a multimedia environment. The study evaluated the learner's recall and transfer in understanding the playing rules for decision making in calling penalties. Two experiments were conducted for this research. Participants...
A rehabilitation training system based on multi-parameters status monitoring and information fusion is discussed in this paper. The signal processing system is built with MSJP430 series MCU. Soft judgment is carried out based on all kind of information from the force on driving wheel, the speed of driving motor, the stress of patient's sit gesture from sensor array. Specific observation domain is...
This paper investigates the failure prediction problem for multivariable and multi-failure-mode complex systems based on performance degradation. In our treatment, neural network is employed to simulate system performance degradation and to predict the health states of functional modules. BP network and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) network are used simultaneously to simulate and to predict future...
In order to solve the problem of accurately detecting the weak acoustic signal for remote underwater target, a novel hybrid intelligent target-detection method for underwater acoustic signals based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD), feature distance evaluation technique (FDET) and fuzzy support vector data description (FSVDD) is proposed. The method consists of three stages. Firstly, some signal...
