A one class classifier for Signal identification: a biological case study
2008
The paper describes an application of a one-class KNN to identify different signal patterns embedded in a noise structured background. The problem become harder whenever only one pattern is well represented in the signal, in such cases one class classifier techniques are more indicated. The classification phase is applied after a preprocessing phase based on a Multi Layer Model (MLM) that provides a preliminary signal segmentation in an interval feature space. The one-class KNN has been tested on synthetic data that simulate microarray data for the identification of nucleosomes and linker regions across DNA. Results have shown a good recognition rate on synthetic data for nucleosome and lin…
Extracting information from support vector machines for pattern-based classification
2014
Statistical machine learning algorithms building on patterns found by pattern mining algorithms have to cope with large solution sets and thus the high dimensionality of the feature space. Vice versa, pattern mining algorithms are frequently applied to irrelevant instances, thus causing noise in the output. Solution sets of pattern mining algorithms also typically grow with increasing input datasets. The paper proposes an approach to overcome these limitations. The approach extracts information from trained support vector machines, in particular their support vectors and their relevance according to their coefficients. It uses the support vectors along with their coefficients as input to pa…
Improving distance based image retrieval using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm
2015
Image retrieval is formulated as a multiobjective optimization problem.A multiobjective genetic algorithm is hybridized with distance based search.A parameter balances exploration (genetic search) or exploitation (nearest neighbors).Extensive comparative experimentation illustrate and assess the proposed methodology. Relevance feedback has been adopted as a standard in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). One major difficulty that algorithms have to face is to achieve and adequate balance between the exploitation of already known areas of interest and the exploration of the feature space to find other relevant areas. In this paper, we evaluate different ways to combine two existing relevan…
Full Reference Mesh Visual Quality Assessment Using Pre-Trained Deep Network and Quality Indices
2019
In this paper, we propose an objective quality metric to evaluate the perceived visual quality of 3D meshes. Our method relies on pre-trained convolutional neural network i.e VGG to extract features from the distorted mesh and its reference. Quality indices from well-known mesh visual quality metrics are concatenated with the extracted features resulting a global feature vector. this latter is used to learn the support vector regression (SVR) to predict the final quality score. Experimental results from two subjective databases (LIRIS masking database and LIRIS/EPFL general-purpose database) and comparisons with seven objective metrics cited in the state-of-the-art demonstrate the effective…
The Expressibility of Languages and Relations by Word Equations
1997
Classically, several properties and relations of words, such as being a power of a same word, can be expressed by using word equations. This paper is devoted to study in general the expressive power of word equations. As main results we prove theorems which allow us to show that certain properties of words are not expressible as components of solutions of word equations. In particular, the primitiveness and the equal length are such properties, as well as being any word over a proper subalphabet.
Target tracking with dynamically adaptive correlation
2016
Abstract A reliable algorithm for target tracking based on dynamically adaptive correlation filtering is presented. The algorithm is capable of tracking with high accuracy the location of a target in an input video sequence without using an offline training process. The target is selected at the beginning of the algorithm. Afterwards, a composite correlation filter optimized for distortion tolerant pattern recognition is designed to recognize the target in the next frame. The filter is dynamically adapted to each frame using information of current and past scene observations. Results obtained with the proposed algorithm in synthetic and real-life video sequences, are analyzed and compared w…
Ontology-based state representation for intention recognition in cooperative human-robot environments
2012
In this paper, we describe a novel approach for representing state information for the purpose of intention recognition in cooperative human-robot environments. States are represented by a combination of spatial relationships in a Cartesian frame along with cardinal direction information. This approach is applied to a manufacturing kitting operation, where humans and robots are working together to develop kits. Based upon a set of predefined high-level states relationships that must be true for future actions to occur, a robot can use the detailed state information presented in this paper to infer the probability of subsequent actions occurring. This would enable the robot to better help th…
Multi-functional Protein Clustering in PPI Networks
2008
Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks contain valuable information for the isolation of groups of proteins that participate in the same biological function. Many proteins play different roles in the cell by taking part in several processes, but isolating the different processes in which a protein is involved is often a difficult task. In this paper we present a method based on a greedy local search technique to detect functional modules in PPI graphs. The approach is conceived as a generalization of the algorithm PINCoC to generate overlapping clusters of the interaction graph in input. Due to this peculiarity, multi-facets proteins are allowed to belong to different groups correspondi…
Comprehensive Strategy for Proton Chemical Shift Prediction: Linear Prediction with Nonlinear Corrections
2014
A fast 3D/4D structure-sensitive procedure was developed and assessed for the chemical shift prediction of protons bonded to sp3carbons, which poses the maybe greatest challenge in the NMR spectral parameter prediction. The LPNC (Linear Prediction with Nonlinear Corrections) approach combines three well-established multivariate methods viz. the principal component regression (PCR), the random forest (RF) algorithm, and the k nearest neighbors (kNN) method. The role of RF is to find nonlinear corrections for the PCR predicted shifts, while kNN is used to take full advantage of similar chemical environments. Two basic molecular models were also compared and discussed: in the MC model the desc…
Analyzing the metrics of the perceptual space in a new multistage physiological colour vision model
2009
In this work, the metric of a new multistage colour vision model, ATTD05, is assessed and a new colour difference formula is suggested. Firstly, the uniformity of the ATTD05 colour space was compared with that of CIECAM02 for some Munsell samples, because if the model yields a uniform perceptual space, we will be able to implement a colour difference formula as a Euclidian distance between two points. Secondly, we developed a new space based on the perceptual descriptors of the model: brightness, hue, colourfulness, and saturation. After that, we calculated the free parameters of the space that better fit the measured and experimental data of two datasets (small-magnitude and large-magnitud…
