极限学习机类不平衡数据学习算法研究

尽管极限学习机因具有快速、简单、易实现及普适的逼近能力等特点被广泛应用于分类、回归及特征学习问题,但是,极限学习机同其他标准分类方法一样将最大化各类总分类性能作为算法的优化目标,因此,在实际应用中遇到数据样本分布不平衡时,算法对大类样本具有性能偏向性。针对极限学习机类不平衡学习问题的研究起步晚,算法少的问题,在介绍了极限学习机类不平衡数据学习研究现状,极限学习机类不平衡数据学习的典型算法-加权极限学习机及其改进算法的基础上,提出一种不需要对原始不平衡样本进行处理的Adaboost提升的加权极限学习机,通过在15个UCI不平衡数据集进行分析实验,实验结果表明提出的算法具有更好的分类性能。

Knowledge acquisition from questionnaire data using simulated breeding and inductive learning methods

Marketing decision making tasks require the acquisition of efficient decision rules from noisy questionnaire data. Unlike popular learning-from-example methods, in such tasks, we must interpret the characteristics of the data without clear features of the data nor pre-determined evaluation criteria. The problem is how domain experts get simple, easy-to-understand, and accurate knowledge from noisy data.

This paper describes a novel method to acquire efficient decision rules from questionnaire data using both simulated breeding and inductive learning techniques. The basic ideas of the method are that simulated breeding is used to get the effective features from the questionnaire data and that inductive learning is used to acquire simple decision rules from the data. The simulated breeding is one of the Genetic Algorithm based techniques to subjectively or interactively evaluate the qualities of offspring generated by genetic operations.

The proposed method has been qualitatively and quantitatively validated by a case study on consumer product questionnaire data: the acquired rules are simpler than the results from the direct application of inductive learning; a domain expert admits that they are easy to understand; and they are at the same level on the accuracy compared with the other methods.

Furthermore, we address three variations of the basic interactive version of the method: (i) with semiautomated GA phases, (ii) with the relatively evaluation phase via AHP, and (iii) with an automated multiagent learning method.     

Urban areas extraction from multi sensor data based on machine learning and data fusion

Accurate urban areas information is important for a variety of applications, especially city planning and natural disaster prediction and management. In recent years, extraction of urban structures from remotely sensed images has been extensively explored. The key advantages of this imaging modality are reduction of surveying expense and time. It also elevates restrictions on ground surveys. Thus far, much research typically extracts these structures from very high resolution satellite imagery, which are unfortunately of relatively poor spectral resolution, resulting in good precision yet moderate accuracy. Therefore, this paper investigates extraction of buildings from middle and high resolution satellite images by using spectral indices (Normalized Difference Building Index: NDBI, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index: NDVI, Soil Adjustment Vegetation Index: SAVI, Modified Normalized Difference Index: MNDWI, and Global Environment Monitoring Index: GEMI) by means of various Machine Learning methods (Artificial Neural Network: ANN, K-Nearest Neighbor: KNN, and Support Vector Machine: SVM) and Data Fusion (i.e., Majority Voting). Herein empirical results suggested that suitable learning methods for urban areas extraction are in preferring order Data Fusion, SVM, KNN, and ANN. Their accuracies were 85.46, 84.86, 84.66, and 84.91%, respectively.

A framework for machine learning based on dynamic physical fields

Despite recent successes and advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, this domain remains under continuous challenge and guidance from phenomena and processes observed in natural world. Humans remain unsurpassed in their efficiency of dealing and learning from uncertain information coming in a variety of forms, whereas more and more robust learning and optimisation algorithms have their analytical engine built on the basis of some nature-inspired phenomena. Excellence of neural networks and kernel-based learning methods, an emergence of particle-, swarms-, and social behaviour-based optimisation methods are just few of many facts indicating a trend towards greater exploitation of nature inspired models and systems. This work intends to demonstrate how a simple concept of a physical field can be adopted to build a complete framework for supervised and unsupervised learning methodology. An inspiration for artificial learning has been found in the mechanics of physical fields found on both micro and macro scales. Exploiting the analogies between data and charged particles subjected to gravity, electrostatic and gas particle fields, a family of new algorithms has been developed and applied to classification, clustering and data condensation while properties of the field were further used in a unique visualisation of classification and classifier fusion models. The paper covers extensive pictorial examples and visual interpretations of the presented techniques along with some comparative testing over well-known real and artificial datasets.

Evaluation and classification of otoneurological data with new data analysis methods based on machine learning

We improved the classification ability of multilayer perceptron networks by constructing a set of networks of as many as output classes and investigated the influence of different input variables on the classification. We have developed methods named scattering, spectrum and response analysis to express the classification complexity, especially the overlap of output classes, to disentangle the relation between the input variables and output classes of perceptron neural networks, and to establish the importance of input variables. The methods were tested by exploring complicated otoneurological data. In contrast to the variable selection problem, our methods characterize the importance of variables for classification and also describe the importance of the different values of each variable for output (disease) classes. When complex data is distributed in a biased manner between disease classes, we improved classification accuracy by developing a network set called NetSet, which increased average sensitivity and positive predictive value for at least 10% up to 85% and 83% respectively, compared to our earlier neural network classifications with the same data, which clarified class distribution effects and supported our comprehension of the significance of input.     

Annotating mobile phone location data with activity purposes using machine learning algorithms

Individual human travel patterns captured by mobile phone data have been quantitatively characterized by mathematical models, but the underlying activities which initiate the movement are still in a less-explored stage. As a result of the nature of how activity and related travel decisions are made in daily life, human activity-travel behavior exhibits a high degree of spatial and temporal regularities as well as sequential ordering. In this study, we investigate to what extent the behavioral routines could reveal the activities being performed at mobile phone call locations that are captured when users initiate or receive a voice call or message.Our exploration consists of four steps. First, we define a set of comprehensive temporal variables characterizing each call location. Feature selection techniques are then applied to choose the most effective variables in the second step. Next, a set of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms including Support Vector Machines, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees and Random Forests are employed to build classification models. Alongside, an ensemble of the results of the above models is also tested. Finally, the inference performance is further enhanced by a post-processing algorithm.Using data collected from natural mobile phone communication patterns of 80 users over a period of more than one year, we evaluated our approach via a set of extensive experiments. Based on the ensemble of the models, we achieved prediction accuracy of 69.7%. Furthermore, using the post processing algorithm, the performance obtained a 7.6% improvement. The experiment results demonstrate the potential to annotate mobile phone locations based on the integration of data mining techniques with the characteristics of underlying activity-travel behavior, contributing towards the semantic comprehension and further application of the massive data.
