The Local Fractional Derivative of Fractal Curves
2008
Fractal curves described by iterated function system (IFS) are generally non-integer derivative. For that we use fractional derivative to investigate differentiability of this curves. We propose a method to calculate local fractional derivative of a curve from IFS property. Also we give some examples of IFS representing the slopes of the right and left half-tangent of the fractal curves.
Support vector machines in engineering: an overview
2014
This paper provides an overview of the support vector machine SVM methodology and its applicability to real-world engineering problems. Specifically, the aim of this study is to review the current state of the SVM technique, and to show some of its latest successful results in real-world problems present in different engineering fields. The paper starts by reviewing the main basic concepts of SVMs and kernel methods. Kernel theory, SVMs, support vector regression SVR, and SVM in signal processing and hybridization of SVMs with meta-heuristics are fully described in the first part of this paper. The adoption of SVMs in engineering is nowadays a fact. As we illustrate in this paper, SVMs can …
Fuzzy Clustering of Histopathological Images Using Deep Learning Embeddings
2021
Metric learning is a machine learning approach that aims to learn a new distance metric by increas- ing (reducing) the similarity of examples belonging to the same (different) classes. The output of these approaches are embeddings, where the input data are mapped to improve a crisp or fuzzy classifica- tion process. The deep metric learning approaches regard metric learning, implemented by using deep neural networks. Such models have the advantage to discover very representative nonlinear embed- dings. In this work, we propose a triplet network deep metric learning approach, based on ResNet50, to find a representative embedding for the unsupervised fuzzy classification of benign and maligna…
Learning spatial filters for multispectral image segmentation.
2010
International audience; We present a novel filtering method for multispectral satel- lite image classification. The proposed method learns a set of spatial filters that maximize class separability of binary support vector machine (SVM) through a gradient descent approach. Regularization issues are discussed in detail and a Frobenius-norm regularization is proposed to efficiently exclude uninformative filters coefficients. Experiments car- ried out on multiclass one-against-all classification and tar- get detection show the capabilities of the learned spatial fil- ters.
Support Vector Machine and Kernel Classification Algorithms
2018
This chapter introduces the basics of support vector machine (SVM) and other kernel classifiers for pattern recognition and detection. It also introduces the main elements and concept underlying the successful binary SVM. The chapter starts by introducing the main elements and concept underlying the successful binary SVM. Next, it introduces more advanced topics in SVM for classification, including large margin filtering (LMF), SSL, active learning, and large‐scale classification using SVMs. The LMF method performs both signal filtering and classification simultaneously by learning the most appropriate filters. SSL with SVMs exploits the information contained in both labeled and unlabeled e…
Upport vector machines for nonlinear kernel ARMA system identification.
2006
Nonlinear system identification based on support vector machines (SVM) has been usually addressed by means of the standard SVM regression (SVR), which can be seen as an implicit nonlinear autoregressive and moving average (ARMA) model in some reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). The proposal of this letter is twofold. First, the explicit consideration of an ARMA model in an RKHS (SVM-ARMA 2k) is proposed. We show that stating the ARMA equations in an RKHS leads to solving the regularized normal equations in that RKHS, in terms of the autocorrelation and cross correlation of the (nonlinearly) transformed input and output discrete time processes. Second, a general class of SVM-based syste…
Average Performance Analysis of the Stochastic Gradient Method for Online PCA
2019
International audience; This paper studies the complexity of the stochastic gradient algorithm for PCA when the data are observed in a streaming setting. We also propose an online approach for selecting the learning rate. Simulation experiments confirm the practical relevance of the plain stochastic gradient approach and that drastic improvements can be achieved by learning the learning rate.
Calibrating a Motion Model Based on Reinforcement Learning for Pedestrian Simulation
2012
In this paper, the calibration of a framework based in Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (RL) for generating motion simulations of pedestrian groups is presented. The framework sets a group of autonomous embodied agents that learn to control individually its instant velocity vector in scenarios with collisions and friction forces. The result of the process is a different learned motion controller for each agent. The calibration of both, the physical properties involved in the motion of our embodied agents and the corresponding dynamics, is an important issue for a realistic simulation. The physics engine used has been calibrated with values taken from real pedestrian dynamics. Two experime…
Kinematic calibration method for a 5-DOF Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic machine
2013
In this paper a new step-wise approach to kinematic calibration of a 5-DOF Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic machine (PKM) is presented. The approach can be adapted to the modular design of the PKM and the calibration could easily perform part of the assembly instructions for the machine. By using measurements from a laser tracker and least-squares estimates of polynomial functions, a typical accuracy of about 20 micrometer was achieved for the base actuators. The remaining set of 30 general parameters for the hexapod link structure and spherical joint connections were successfully estimated using the Complex search-based evolutionary algorithm.
