In military simulations, software agents are used to represent individuals, weapon platforms or aggregates thereof. Modeling the behavioral capabilities and limitations of such agents may be time-consuming, requiring extensive interaction with subject matter experts and complicated scripts, but nevertheless resulting in rigid, predictable performance. Autonomous agents that learn desired behaviors...
For text clustering task, distinctive text features selection is important due to feature space high dimensionality. It is essential to reduce the feature space dimension to increase accuracy and decrease processing time. In this work, for text clustering task, we introduce a novel hybrid feature selection model. This method measures the term importance based on the correlation coefficient among four...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is an emerging area of research that aims to improve the quality of human-computer applications. It has enormous scope in biomedical applications, neural rehabilitation, biometric authentication, educational programmes, and entertainment applications. A BCI system has four major components: signal acquisition, signal preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification...
In this paper, a system to aid the visually impaired by providing contextual information of the surroundings using 360° view camera combined with deep learning is proposed. The system uses a 360° view camera with a mobile device to capture surrounding scene information and provide contextual information to the user in the form of audio. The scene information from the spherical camera feed is classified...
The analysis of human motion as a clinical tool can bring many benefits such as the early detection of disease and the monitoring of recovery, so in turn helping people to lead independent lives. However, it is currently under used. Developments in depth cameras, such as Kinect, have opened up the use of motion analysis in settings such as GP surgeries, care homes and private homes. To provide an...
Unprecedented growth in media content generation, communication and consumption has taken over the vast majority of storage spaces in devices, network caches, and clouds. How to identify duplications from network caches is an important issue for fast and efficient content delivery network (CDN) communication and storage. In this work, we developed a novel hash scheme which is scalable and robust to...
Automated facial expression recognition (AFER) is a crucial technology to and a challenging task for human computer interaction. Previous methods of AFER have incorporated different features and classification methods and use basic testing approaches. In this paper, we employ the best feature descriptor for AFER by empirically evaluating the feature descriptors named the Facial Landmarks descriptor...
Occupancy estimators (sensors which can accurately estimate the number of people occupying a space) hold great potential for reducing the power usage of lighting and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. In this paper we use low-resolution thermal sensors for occupancy estimation, due to their high temporal and spatial resolution and low invasiveness. We extend the connected component...
Given the heterogeneity of the data that can be extracted from the software development process, defect prediction techniques have focused on associating different sources of data with the introduction of faulty code, usually relying on handcrafted features. While these efforts have generated considerable progress over the years, little attention has been given to the fact that the performance of...
The state-of-the-art cloud computing platforms are facing challenges, such as the high volume of crowdsourced data traffic and highly computational demands, involved in typical deep learning applications. More recently, Edge Computing has been recently proposed as an effective way to reduce the resource consumption. In this paper, we propose an edge learning framework by introducing the concept of...
Nowadays, touchscreen mobile devices make up a larger share in the market. Users often use these devices to store personal and sensitive data. This necessitate to find more effective and robust methods to continuously authenticate touch-based mobile device users. In this paper, we propose two levels of behavioral touch features that can be extracted from raw touchscreen logs and demonstrate that different...
Acoustic classification of frogs has received increasing attention for its promising application in ecological studies. Various studies have been proposed for classifying frog species, but most recordings are assumed to have only a single species. In this study, a method to classify multiple frog species in an audio clip is presented. To be specific, continuous frog recordings are first cropped into...
This paper proposes a novel method for fire and smoke detection using video images. The ViBe method is used to extract a background from the whole video and to update the exact motion areas using frame-by-frame differences. Dynamic and static features extraction are combined to recognize the fire and smoke areas. For static features, we use deep learning to detect most of fire and smoke areas based...
With the extensive application of machine learning algorithms in bioinformatics, more and more computer researchers are beginning to focus on this field. Polyadenylation of messenger RNA (mRNA) is one of the key steps of gene expression in eukaryotes, polyadenylation site marks the end of transcription, it is of great significance to explore prediction of the site of gene sequences encoding gene....
In this paper, a long sequence feature extraction method (LSFE) is proposed for protein secondary structure prediction. The proposed method is based on deep learning architecture which is mainly composed of three-layers: sparse auto-encoder, convolution feature extraction layer, and the softmax classifier. PSSM (position-specific scoring matrix) is used as the raw sequence representation. Two groups...
The field of opinion mining is expanding rapidly with the widespread use of internet for e-commerce and social interaction. One of the interesting use of opinion mining is in the field of online producer-consumer industry. The primary goal of the work presented in this paper is to perform a semi-automated sentiment classification on online product reviews for product evaluation using machine learning...
The accurate short-term traffic flow prediction can provide timely and accurate traffic condition information which can help one to make travel decision and mitigate the traffic jam. Deep learning (DL) provides a new paradigm for the analysis of big data generated by the urban daily traffic. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end deep learning architecture which consists of two modules. We combine...
Brain machine interfacing (BMI) needs continuous analyses of ongoing brain activity. For a successful interaction, related brain activities and events should be reliably detected; using various approaches including machine learning techniques.

In this paper, a fast, transparent, self-evolving, deep learning fuzzy rule-based (DLFRB) image classifier is proposed. This new classifier is a cascade of the recently introduced DLFRB classifier called MICE and an auxiliary SVM. The DLFRB classifier serves as the main engine and can identify a number of human interpretable fuzzy rules through a very short, transparent, highly parallelizable training...
