利用U矩阵对SOM网络的处理

自组织神经网络的最大优点是能够保持原始数据的拓扑结构。但是当数据量很大的时候，自组织神经网络的神经元的数据也随之增大。因此为了更好地对数据进行分析，需要将自组织神经网络中相似的神经元进行分组，也就是聚类。在对SOM网络进行再次分析之前，为了减少“噪音”数据和孤立点对聚类结构的影响，用U矩阵的变型方法对自组织神经网络分析的结果进行预处理。

Studies of substrate specificities of lipases from different sources

Although lipases are widely applied in a wide variety of reactions, available information on the factors that are responsible for the substrate specificities of lipases from different sources is scarce. In this paper, nine lipase‐producing microorganism strains were isolated from oil‐containing samples. The properties of these enzymes, including pH optima, temperature optima, thermal stability, and pH stability, vary significantly with the different sources from which these lipases were isolated. The substrate specificities of the nine lipases, including fatty acid and positional specificities, were also studied. The fatty acid specificities of the nine lipases were observably different toward 15 substrates with different carbon chain lengths, different saturation degrees and different side chains. The lipases from S₃ Penicillium citrinum (PCL), MJ₁ Aspergillus niger (ANL), MJ₂ Aspergillus oryzae (AOL), YM Bacillus coughing (BCL), S₉ Geotrichum candidum (GCL), and S₁₁ Candida lypolytica (CLL) showed the strongest specificities to short‐chain esters, and the other lipases showed strong selectivity for medium‐ or long‐chain and branched esters. The positional specificities were examined by analyzing the hydrolytic products of triolein catalyzed by the nine lipases, using TLC. The lipases can be mainly classified into two groups by their specificities for the ester bond at position 2 of triglycerides; one group can selectively hydrolyze the ester bond at position 2 of the triglycerides, the other group cannot. All these nine lipases were divided into four groups by hierarchical clustering analysis on the basis of the results of fatty acid and positional specificities.     

Genetic algorithms for symbolic clustering

This paper introduces a novel methodology for clustering of symbolic objects by making use of Genetic Algorithms (GAs). GAs are a family of computational models inspired by evolution. These algorithms encode potential solutions to specific problems on simple chromosome-like data structures and apply recombination operators to these structures so as to preserve critical information. A new type of representation for chromosome structure is presented here along with a new method for mutation. The efficacy of the proposed method is examined by application to numeric data of known number of classes and also to assertion type of symbolic objects drawn from the domain of fat oil, microcomputers, microprocessors and botany. The validity of the clusters obtained is examined.     

Pseudoinverse in clustering problems

The clustering of vector observations of hyperplanes is studied. Different cases of correspondence distances are proposed and investigated, including the algebraic Jack Knife one. The efficiency, constructivity, and explicit form of formulas are provided by using the pseudoinverse technique including the pseudoinverse-perturbation theory. Results important for the application of pseudoinverse and related operators are presented. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 4, pp. 73–92, July–August 2007.     

Optimal implementations of UPGMA and other common clustering algorithms

In this work we consider hierarchical clustering algorithms, such as UPGMA, which follow the closest-pair joining scheme. We survey optimal O(n²)-time implementations of such algorithms which use a ‘locally closest’ joining scheme, and specify conditions under which this relaxed joining scheme is equivalent to the original one (i.e. ‘globally closest’).     

Concealed weapon detection and visualization in a synthesized image

Images acquired by heterogeneous image sensors may provide complementary information about the scene, for instance, the visual image can provide personal identification information like the facial pattern while the infrared (IR) or millimeter wave image can detect the suspicious regions of concealed weapons. Usually, a technique, namely multiresolution pixel-level image fusion is applied to integrate the information from multi-sensor images. However, when the images are significantly different, the performance of the multiresolution fusion algorithms is not always satisfactory. In this study, a new strategy consisting of two steps is proposed. The first step is to use an unsupervised fuzzy k-means clustering to detect the concealed weapon from the IR image. The detected region is embedded in the visual image in the second step and this process is implemented with a multiresolution mosaic technique. Therefore, the synthesized image retains the quality comparable to the visual image while the region of the concealed weapon is highlighted and enhanced. The experimental results indicate the efficiency of the proposed approach.This material is based on part of the work carried out at the SPCR laboratory of Lehigh University and the work is partially supported by the U. S. Army Research Office under grant number DAAD19-00-1-0431.

Robust pole clustering in a good ride quality region of aircraft for matrices with structured uncertainties

This paper presents a general analysis of robust pole clustering in a good ride quality region (GRQR) of aircraft for matrices with structured uncertainties. This region is an intersection of a ring and a horizontal strip, located in the left half-plane, which is a specific non-Ω-transformable region providing good ride quality of aircraft. The paper applies the Rayleigh principle along the norm theory to analyze robust pole clustering within this region since the generalized Lyapunov theory is not valid for non-Ω-transformable regions. Concerned uncertainties are structured/parametric uncertainties, including interval matrices. The results are useful for robust control analysis and design, especially, of robust good ride quality of aircraft, shuttles, vehicles and space station, as well as some industrial systems. An example of the F-16 dynamics for which GRQR is suitable is included to illustrate the results.
