Cloud basis function neural network: A modified RBF network architecture for holistic facial expression recognition

The paper presents novel modifications to radial basis functions (RBFs) and a neural network based classifier for holistic recognition of the six universal facial expressions from static images. The new basis functions, called cloud basis functions (CBFs) use a different feature weighting, derived to emphasize features relevant to class discrimination. Further, these basis functions are designed to have multiple boundary segments, rather than a single boundary as for RBFs. These new enhancements to the basis functions along with a suitable training algorithm allow the neural network to better learn the specific properties of the problem domain. The proposed classifiers have demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional RBF neural networks as well as several other types of holistic techniques used in conjunction with RBF neural networks. The CBF neural network based classifier yielded an accuracy of 96.1%, compared to 86.6%, the best accuracy obtained from all other conventional RBF neural network based classification schemes tested using the same database.

An optimized RBF neural network algorithm based on partial least squares and genetic algorithm for classification of small sample

Radial basis function (RBF) neural network can use linear learning algorithm to complete the work formerly handled by nonlinear learning algorithm, and maintain the high precision of the nonlinear algorithm. However, the results of RBF would be slightly unsatisfactory when dealing with small sample which has higher feature dimension and fewer numbers. Higher feature dimension will influence the design of neural network, and fewer numbers of samples will cause network training incomplete or over-fitted, both of which restrict the recognition precision of the neural network. RBF neural network has some drawbacks, for example, it is hard to determine the numbers, center and width of the hidden layer’s neurons, which constrain the success of training. To solve the above problems, partial least squares (PLS) and genetic algorithm(GA)are introduced into RBF neural network, and better recognition precision will be obtained, because PLS is good at dealing with the small sample data, it can reduce feature dimension and make low-dimensional data more interpretative. In addition, GA can optimize the network architecture, the weights between hidden layer and output layer of the RBF neural network can ease non-complete network training, the way of hybrid coding and simultaneous evolving is adopted, and then an accurate algorithm is established. By these two consecutive optimizations, the RBF neural network classification algorithm based on PLS and GA (PLS-GA-RBF) is proposed, in order to solve some recognition problems caused by small sample. Four experiments and comparisons with other four algorithms are carried out to verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm, and the results indicate a good picture of the PLS-GA-RBF algorithm, the operating efficiency and recognition accuracy are improved substantially. The new small sample classification algorithm is worthy of further promotion.

In this letter, a Box-Cox transformation-based radial basis function (RBF) neural network is introduced using the RBF neural network to represent the transformed system output. Initially a fixed and moderate sized RBF model base is derived based on a rank revealing orthogonal matrix triangularization (QR decomposition). Then a new fast identification algorithm is introduced using Gauss-Newton algorithm to derive the required Box-Cox transformation, based on a maximum likelihood estimator.

Finally, the Box-Cox transformation-based RBF neural network, with good generalization and sparsity, is identified based on the derived optimal Box-Cox transformation and a D-optimality-based orthogonal forward regression algorithm. The proposed algorithm and its efficacy are demonstrated with an illustrative example in comparison with support vector machine regression.
