A negative selection algorithm for classification and reduction of the noise effect

Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are a type of intelligent algorithm inspired by the principles and processes of the human immune system. In the last decade, applications of AIS have been studied in various fields. In the application of change/anomaly detection, negative selection algorithms of AIS have been successfully applied. However, negative selection algorithms are not appropriate for multi-class classification problems, because they do not have a mechanism to minimize the danger of overfitting and oversearching. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to overcome this drawback and to extend the application area of negative selection algorithms to multi-class classification. The algorithm we propose is named Artificial Negative Selection Classifier (ANSC). We investigate the tolerance of ANSC against noise, and introduce a method to reduce the effect of noise into ANSC. The accuracy and data reduction are compared with those from the Artificial Immune Recognition System (AIRS), which is a well known and effective classifier of AIS. The results show that our algorithm is useful for classification problems and the reduction of the noise effect.     

Optimized Gabor features for mass classification in mammography

Gabor filter bank has been successfully used for false positive reduction problem and the discrimination of benign and malignant masses in breast cancer detection. However, a generic Gabor filter bank is not adapted to multi-orientation and multi-scale texture micro-patterns present in the regions of interest (ROIs) of mammograms. There are two main optimization concerns: how many filters should be in a Gabor filter band and what should be their parameters. Addressing these issues, this work focuses on finding optimizing Gabor filter banks based on an incremental clustering algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). We employ an SVM with Gaussian kernel as a fitness function for PSO. The effect of optimized Gabor filter bank was evaluated on 1024 ROIs extracted from a Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM) using four performance measures (i.e., accuracy, area under ROC curve, sensitivity and specificity) for the above mentioned mass classification problems. The results show that the proposed method enhances the performance and reduces the computational cost. Moreover, the Wilcoxon signed rank test over the significance level of 0.05 reveals that the performance difference between the optimized Gabor filter bank and non-optimized Gabor filter bank is statistically significant.     

Minimum classification error training for online handwriting recognition

This paper describes an application of the minimum classification error (MCE) criterion to the problem of recognizing online unconstrained-style characters and words. We describe an HMM-based, character and word-level MCE training aimed at minimizing the character or word error rate while enabling flexibility in writing style through the use of multiple allographs per character. Experiments on a writer-independent character recognition task covering alpha-numerical characters and keyboard symbols show that the MCE criterion achieves more than 30 percent character error rate reduction compared to the baseline maximum likelihood-based system. Word recognition results, on vocabularies of 5k to 10k, show that MCE training achieves around 17 percent word error rate reduction when compared to the baseline maximum likelihood system.

Univied Parallel Lattice Structures for Block Time—Recursive Real—Valued Duiscrete Gabor Transforms

In this paper,the 1-D real-valued discrete Gabor transform(RDGT)proposed in the previous work and its relationship with the complex-valued discrete Gabor transform(CDGT)are briefly reviewed.Block time-recursive RDGT algorithms for the efficient and fast computation of the 1-D RDGT coefficients and for the fast reconstruction of the original signal from the coefficients are developed in both critical sampling and oversampling cases.Unified parallel lattice structuires for the implementation of the algorithms are studied.And the computational complexity analysis and comparison show that the proposed algorithms provide a more efficient and faster approach to the computation of the discrete Gabor transforms.     

Distortion estimates for adaptive lifting transforms with noise

Multimedia analysis, enhancement and coding methods often resort to adaptive transforms that exploit local characteristics of the input source. Following the signal decomposition stage, the produced transform coefficients and the adaptive transform parameters can be subject to quantization and/or data corruption (e.g. due to transmission or storage limitations). As a result, mismatches between the analysis- and synthesis-side transform coefficients and adaptive parameters may occur, severely impacting the reconstructed signal and therefore affecting the quality of the subsequent analysis, processing and display task. Hence, a thorough understanding of the quality degradation ensuing from such mismatches is essential for multimedia applications that rely on adaptive signal decompositions. This paper focuses on lifting-based adaptive transforms that represent a broad class of adaptive decompositions. By viewing the mismatches in the transform coefficients and the adaptive parameters as perturbations in the synthesis system, we derive analytic expressions for the expected reconstruction distortion. Our theoretical results are experimentally assessed using 1D adaptive decompositions and motion-adaptive temporal decompositions of video signals.

A method for automatic classification of gender based on text- independent handwriting

Handwriting recognition is used for the prediction of various demographic traits such as age, gender, nationality, etc. Out of all the applications gender prediction is mainly admired topic among researchers. The relation between gender and handwriting can be seen from the physical appearance of the handwriting. This research work predicts gender from handwriting using the landmarks of differences between the two genders. We use the shape or visual appearance of the handwriting for extracting features of the handwriting such as slanteness (direction), area (no of pixels occupied by text), perimeter (length of edges), etc. Classification is carried out using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classifier which transforms the nonlinear problem into linear using its kernel trick, logistic regression, KNN and at the end to enhance the classification rates we use Majority Voting. The experimental results obtained on a dataset of 282 writers with 2 samples per writer shows that the proposed method attains appealing performance on writer detection and text-independent environment.

     

Adaptive PCA transforms with geometric morphological grouping for image noise removal

This paper presents a novel approach of image noise removal via integrating geometric morphological patch grouping and adaptive principal component analysis (PCA) transform domain choosing. Image noise removal based on PCA has acquired much attention and success because of the essential difference: the energy of signal concentrates on the small subset of PCA transformed dataset, while the energy of noise evenly spreads over the whole data set. In this paper, the noisy image will be firstly decomposed into overlap patches that contain different content and structure information. However, some of them potentially have similar geometric morphology. So, their gradient map is utilized to compute the dominant orientation of gradient field to group these geometric morphology patches. Such a grouping procedure guarantees that only similar patches are used to perform hard thresholding on the coefficients to remove the noise. Furthermore, as the result and effect of feature extraction are different in different transform domain, a proper one could be adaptively chosen for different types. Finally, a comprehensive empirical evaluation of the proposed method is carried out in terms of accuracy and visuality, and the results reveal that our method appears to be competitive with the state-of-the-art noise removal methods.     

An efficient hybrid reduction method for time-delay systems using Hermite expansions

This paper presents an efficient model reduction method for time-delay systems in the time domain. We expand the systems under a Hermite polynomial basis and show that Hermite coefficients of the expansion are determined by a linear equation, thus can be calculated efficiently. Such linear relationship is well taken in the projection methods of model reduction, and reduced models are generated to preserve a desired number of Hermite coefficients in the time domain, in contrast to other existing techniques which aim at approximating the transfer function of time-delay systems in the frequency domain. We also exploit two-sided projections for time-delay systems, leading to a hybrid reduction method which generates reduced models sharing the nice properties both in the time and frequency domains. Two numerical examples illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach.

Electroencephalogram signal classification based on shearlet and contourlet transforms

Epilepsy is a disorder that affects approximately 50 million people of all ages, according to World Health Organization (2016), which makes it one of the most common neurological diseases worldwide. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have been widely used to detect epilepsy and other brain abnormalities. In this work, we propose and evaluate a novel methodology based on shearlet and contourlet transforms to decompose the EEG signals into frequency bands. A set of features are extracted from these time-frequency coefficients and used as input to different classifiers. Experiments are conducted on a public data set to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed classification method. The developed system can help neurophysiologists identify EEG patterns in epilepsy diagnostic tasks.
