A form processing application (FPA) automates digitization of information contained in forms. Smaller research groups do not use FPAs as they cannot justify operation of an in-house commercial system. This paper describes the design and testing of a new FPA that is targeted toward the needs of this group, and is released as free open-source software. The new FPA covers form design, printing, scanning,...
The monitoring of water quality is essencial to the mankind, since we strongly depend on such resource for living and working. The presence of sediments in rivers usually indicates changes in the land use, which can affect the quality of water and the lifetime of hydroelectric power plants. In countries like Brazil, where more than 70% of the energy comes from the water, it is crucial to keep monitoring...
Convolution neural network can gain optional solution by training dataset many times. But persons without experiments are very difficult to seek a good learning rate or a good convergence criterion. We propose a framework, which only are composed by many cheap computers, and by improved convolution network to handle this problem. In the framework, we use terminal server to dispatch initial parameter...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a kind of imaging modality, which offers clearer images of soft tissues than computed tomography (CT). It is especially suitable for brain disease detection. It is beneficial to detect diseases automatically and accurately. We proposed a pathological brain detection method based on brain MR images and online sequential extreme learning machine. First, seven wavelet...
With the upsurge of internet popularity, nowadays there are millions of online transactions that are being processed per minute thus increasing the possibilities of intruder attacks over the recent times. There have been various intruder detection techniques such as using traditional machine learning based algorithms. These algorithms were widely used to identify and prevent intruder activities in...
In this paper, we discuss a novel approach to incrementally construct a rule ensemble. The approach constructs an ensemble from a dynamically generated set of rule classifiers. Each classifier in this set is trained by using a different class ordering. We investigate criteria including accuracy, ensemble size, and the role of starting point in the search. Fusion is done by averaging. Using 22 data...
Although myoelectric prosthesis has been researched for almost 60 years, a high quality prosthetic arm with dexterous hand manipulation and stable control system is always hard to find and amputee acceptance remains low. One of the major challenges is the lack of a portable and powerful embedded system to implement the electromyography (EMG) pattern recognition (PR) algorithms, other challenges include...
Classifier competence is critical important for dynamic classifier selection. This study proposes a semi-supervised learning algorithm to learn the competence of classifiers under the proposed optimization framework based on graph. First it constructs a graph based on the training data and some unlabeled data. Then it iteratively learns the competence of classifiers. The learned competence not just...
Lately, multi-label classification (MLC) problems have drawn a lot of attention in a wide range of fields including medical, web, and entertainment. The scale and the diversity of MLC problems is much larger than single-label classification problems. Especially we have to face all possible combinations of labels. To solve MLC problems more efficiently, we focus on three kinds of locality hidden in...
Human epithelial (HEp-2) cell specimens are obtained from indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) imaging for diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases. Analysis of HEp2 cells is important and in this work we consider automatic cell segmentation and classification using spatial and texture pattern features and random forest classifiers. In this paper, we summarize our efforts in classification and...
This paper presents a novel approach for iris dissimilarity computation based on Machine Learning paradigms and Computer Vision transformations. Based on the training dataset given by the MICHE II Challenge organizers, a set of classifiers has been constructed and tested, aiming at classifying a single image.
In active learning, one aims to acquire labeled samples that are particularly useful for training a classifier. In sequential active learning, this sample selection is done in a one-at-a-time manner where the choice of sample t + 1 may depend on the current state of the classifier and the t labeled data points already available. In their deviation from standard random sampling, current active learning...
Fuzzy hyper-line segment neural network (FHLSNN) is a hybrid system of fuzzy logic and neural network and is used for pattern classification. It learns patterns in terms of n-dimensional hyper line segment (HLS). Modified fuzzy hyperline segment neural network (MFHLSNN) is a modified version of FHLSNN that improves the quality of reasoning and recall time per pattern using modified fuzzy membership...
In this paper we consider the problem of training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) online using a stream of data in random order. We provide a fast online training algorithm for general SVM on very large datasets. Based on the geometric interpretation of SVM known as the polytope distance, our algorithm uses a gradient descent procedure to solve the problem. With high probability our algorithm outputs...
This paper explores the supervised pattern recognition problem based on feature partitioning. This formulation leads to a new problem in computational geometry. The supervised pattern recognition problem is formulated as an heuristic good clique cover problem satisfying the k-nearest neighbors rule. First it is applied a heuristic algorithm for partitioning a graph into a minimal number of cliques...
Human Epithelial type-2 (HEp-2) cells are used as substrates for the detection of Anti Nuclear Antibodies (ANA) in the Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF) test to diagnose autoimmune diseases. Pathologists in the laboratory examine the IIF slides to detect and recognize theHEp-2 cell patterns to generate the report. So, the IIF test is subjective and requires objective analysis. This paper introduces...
This paper identifies a problem with the usual procedure for L2-regularization parameter estimation in a domain adaptation setting. In such a setting, there are differences between the distributions generating the training data (source domain) and the test data (target domain). The usual cross-validation procedure requires validation data, which can not be obtained from the unlabeled target data....
Class imbalance is an issue in many real world applications because classification algorithms tend to misclassify instances from the class of interest when its training samples are outnumbered by those of other classes. Several variations of AdaBoost ensemble method have been proposed in literature to learn from imbalanced data based on re-sampling. However, their loss factor is based on standard...
This paper addresses the problem of object counting, which is to estimate the number of objects of interest from an input observation. We formalize the problem as a posterior inference of the count by introducing a particular type of Gaussian mixture for the input observation, whose mixture indexes correspond to the count. Unlike existing approaches in image analysis, which typically perform explicit...
Reliable automatic system for Human Epithelial-2 (HEp-2) cell image classification can facilitate the diagnosis of systemic autoimmune diseases. In this paper, an automatic pattern recognition system using fully convolutional network (FCN) was proposed to address the HEp-2 specimen classification problem. The FCN in the proposed framework was adapted from VGG-16, which was trained with ICPR 2016 dataset...
