For airborne electronic equipment, temperature is the most important factor affecting its performance, so it is very important to invest its dynamic temperature response process in a flight environment. By analyzing the heat exchange relationship between different devices in an electronic wing pod cabin, a temperature prediction method for electronic pod cabin based on the Random Vector Functional...
Accurate prediction of the future locations of the host vehicle as well as that of the surrounding objects is one of the key challenges in improving road traffic safety. The traditional approach for this task has been using physics-based motion models such as kinematic and dynamic models, the result of which is not reliable for long-term prediction. In this paper, we present simulation results demonstrating...
This paper presents a support vector machine (SVM) based model predictive control (MPC) strategy to manage the engine speed to the set-point of idle speed. The predictive model is trained by SVM due to its accuracy of learning nonlinear process, simple training program and no over-fitting nature. To reduce the computational burden of controller and retain the dynamic information of system, the instantaneous...
Video scene parsing is challenging due to the following two reasons: firstly, it is non-trivial to learn meaningful video representations for producing the temporally consistent labeling map; secondly, such a learning process becomes more difficult with insufficient labeled video training data. In this work, we propose a unified framework to address the above two problems, which is to our knowledge...
Understanding the visual relationship between two objects involves identifying the subject, the object, and a predicate relating them. We leverage the strong correlations between the predicate and the hsubj; obji pair (both semantically and spatially) to predict predicates conditioned on the subjects and the objects. Modeling the three entities jointly more accurately reflects their relationships...
Many early stage lung cancer patients have resectable tumors, however, their cardiopulmonary function needs to be properly evaluated before they are deemed operative candidates. Such patients are typically asked to undergo standard pulmonary function tests, including cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) or stair climbs. The standard tests are conducted only at selected healthcare provider locations,...
Short-term forecasting tool for wind power generation (WPG) can effectively enhance the scheduling of dispatchable generation and avoid wind power (WP) curtailment. This paper presents a Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-Neural Network (NN) approach for forecasting wind speed (Ws) and wind power output (WPO) in the short-term. Wavelet denoising is used to filter the high frequency outliers in the...
In order to solve the problem of lacking shear wave velocity information in oil and gas field, based on conventional logging data, a support vector machine(SVM) model is used to map the relationship between shear wave velocity and natural gamma, acoustic time difference and resistivity of shale, and then a machine learning method for shear wave velocity prediction is proposed. The model was trained...
Collaborative filtering is a well-known technique used for designing recommender systems when advertising services and products offered to the Internet users. In this paper, we employ the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) for collaborative filtering and propose the neighborhood-conditional RBM (N-CRBM) model based on joint distributions of similarity and popularity scores. The model is trained and...
With the development of the aviation industry and the improvement of people's living standard, more and more people choose aircraft as their way of travel, but the airline adjusts the price according to the revenue management in real time. The purpose of this paper is to design different decision-making tools from the customer's perspective, and to provide customers with the relevant information needed...
The significant role of predicting weather conditions in daily life, the new era of innovative machine learning approaches along with the availability of high volumes of data and high computer performance capabilities, creates increasing perspectives for novel improved short-range forecasting of main meteorological parameters. Among the various algorithms for forecasting parameters, ensemble learning...
We propose to fuse two currently separate research lines on novel therapies for stroke rehabilitation: brain-computer interface (BCI) training and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES). Specifically, we show that BCI technology can be used to learn personalized decoding models that relate the global configuration of brain rhythms in individual subjects (as measured by EEG) to their motor performance...
We present a neural network technique for the analysis and extrapolation of time-series data called Neural Decomposition (ND). Units with a sinusoidal activation function are used to perform a Fourier-like decomposition of training samples into a sum of sinusoids, augmented by units with nonperiodic activation functions to capture linear trends and other nonperiodic components. We show how careful...
There has been a phenomenal increase in the utility of text classification (TC) in applications like targeted advertisement and sentiment analysis. Most applications demand that the model be efficient and robust, yet produce accurate categorizations. This is quite challenging as their is a dearth of labelled training data because it requires assigning labels after reading the whole document. Secondly,...
Building language models for source code enables a large set of improvements on traditional software engineering tasks. One promising application is automatic code completion. State-of-the-art techniques capture code regularities at token level with lexical information. Such language models are more suitable for predicting short token sequences, but become less effective with respect to long statement...
Authorship attribution has been well studied in terms of text classification with many diverse feature sets. However, finding topic independent features is hard and trained models with hand crafted features in one domain may not work in another domain. In this study we used a semi-supervised neural language model which is known as document embeddings for authorship attribution problem. This method...
In many computer vision tasks, for example saliency prediction or semantic segmentation, the desired output is a foreground map that predicts pixels where some criteria is satisfied. Despite the inherently spatial nature of this task commonly used learning objectives do not incorporate the spatial relationships between misclassified pixels and the underlying ground truth. The Weighted F-measure, a...
We aim to tackle a novel vision task called Weakly Supervised Visual Relation Detection (WSVRD) to detect “subject-predicate-object” relations in an image with object relation groundtruths available only at the image level. This is motivated by the fact that it is extremely expensive to label the combinatorial relations between objects at the instance level. Compared to the extensively studied problem,...
While natural beauty is often considered a subjective property of images, in this paper, we take an objective approach and provide methods for quantifying and predicting the scenicness of an image. Using a dataset containing hundreds of thousands of outdoor images captured throughout Great Britain with crowdsourced ratings of natural beauty, we propose an approach to predict scenicness which explicitly...
Future frame prediction in videos is a promising avenue for unsupervised video representation learning. Video frames are naturally generated by the inherent pixel flows from preceding frames based on the appearance and motion dynamics in the video. However, existing methods focus on directly hallucinating pixel values, resulting in blurry predictions. In this paper, we develop a dual motion Generative...
