In the past few years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been increasingly gaining impact in the real world with with various applications such as healthcare, condition monitoring, control networks, etc. Anomaly detection in WSNs is an important aspect of data analysis in order to identify data items which does not conform to an expected pattern or other items in a dataset. This paper describes...
The rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology provides unique opportunities for studies of transcription factor binding, while also bringing new computational challenges. Recently, a series of discriminative motif discovery (DMD) methods have been proposed and offer promising solutions for addressing these challenges. However, because of the huge computational cost, most of them have...
One of the most current challenging problems in Gaussian process regression (GPR) is to handle large-scale datasets and to accommodate an online learning setting where data arrive irregularly on the fly. In this paper, we introduce a novel online Gaussian process model that could scale with massive datasets. Our approach is formulated based on alternative representation of the Gaussian process under...
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...
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are supervised learning models of the machine learning field whose performance strongly depended on its hyperparameters. The Bio-inspired Optimization Tool for SVM (BIOTS) tool is based on a Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Algorithm (MOPSO) to tune hyperparameters of SVMs. In this work, BIOTS is proposed along with a custom hardware design generator (VHDL) that implements...
The goal of complex event detection is to automatically detect whether an event of interest happens in temporally untrimmed long videos which usually consist of multiple video shots. Observing some video shots in positive (resp. negative) videos are irrelevant (resp. relevant) to the given event class, we formulate this task as a multi-instance learning (MIL) problem by taking each video as a bag...
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...
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...
In view of the support vector machine (SVM) model applied in vibrant fault diagnosis for hydro-turbine generating unit, it exists problems of parameter settings and classification-plane incline due to unequal sample, which leads to lower diagnosis accuracy. As a new bionic intelligent optimization algorithm for glowworm swarm optimization(GSO), it has the characteristics of strong versatility and...
This paper is the first to address the problem of unsupervised action localization in videos. Given unlabeled data without bounding box annotations, we propose a novel approach that: 1) Discovers action class labels and 2) Spatio-temporally localizes actions in videos. It begins by computing local video features to apply spectral clustering on a set of unlabeled training videos. For each cluster of...
A novel projection twin support vector machine (PTSVM), termed as NPTSVM, is presented in this paper for binary classification. Although this method determines two projection vectors using the same way as PTSVM, it has more advantages than existing PTSVMs. First, NPTSVM does not have to calculate inverse matrices during the learning process, which makes the training speed of NPTSVM be much faster...
This paper studies the simultaneous fault diagnosis of the main reducer in the automobile transmission system assembly based on vibration signals. A simultaneous fault diagnosis model based on Paired Relevance Vector Machine (Paired-RVM) is proposed for the simultaneous fault of the main reducer, and each binary sub-classifier is trained with single fault samples and then fused by a pairing strategy...
Twin support vector regression and its extensions have been widely applied in machine learning and data mining. However, most of them can not achieve the satisfactory performances when the noise is involved. To this end, this paper presents a weighted least squares twin support vector regression (WLSTSVR) which can reduce the influence of the noise on prediction accuracy by using the information of...
Fine-grained activity understanding in videos has attracted considerable recent attention with a shift from action classification to detailed actor and action understanding that provides compelling results for perceptual needs of cutting-edge autonomous systems. However, current methods for detailed understanding of actor and action have significant limitations: they require large amounts of finely...
Structured output support vector machine (SVM) based tracking algorithms have shown favorable performance recently. Nonetheless, the time-consuming candidate sampling and complex optimization limit their real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a novel large margin object tracking method which absorbs the strong discriminative ability from structured output SVM and speeds up by the correlation...

Use the tree structure of the decision tree to solve the multi-class problem of...
Support vector machine (SVM) is a popular machine learning method and has been widely applied in many real-world applications. Since SVM is sensitive to noises, fuzzy SVM (FSVM) has been proposed to relieve the over-fitting problem caused by noises through assigning a fuzzy membership to each sample. Then, different samples make different contributions to the learning of classification hyperplane...
Domain adaptation methods have been proposed to reduce the training efforts needed to control an upper-limb prosthesis by adapting well performing models from previous subjects to the new subject.

We further investigate two popular methods in...
Image classification mainly uses the classifier to classify the extracted image features. In the traditional image feature extraction, it is difficult to set the appropriate feature patterns for the complex images. Simultaneously, the training algorithm of the classifier also affects the accuracy of image classification. In order to solve these problems, the combination of deep belief networks and...
