In this paper, a new approximation to off-line signature verification is proposed based on two-class classifiers using an
expert decisions ensemble. Different methods to extract sets of local and a global features from the target sample are detailed.
Also a normalization by confidence voting method is used in order to decrease the final equal error rate (EER). Each set of
features is processed by a single expert, and on the other approach proposed, the decisions of the individual classifiers
are combined using weighted votes. Experimental results are given using a subcorpus of the large MCYT signature database for
random and skilled forgeries. The results show that the weighted combination outperforms the individual classifiers significantly.
The best EER obtained were 6.3 % in the case of skilled forgeries and 2.31 % in the case of random forgeries. 相似文献
Fuzzy rule-based classification systems (FRBCSs) are known due to their ability to treat with low quality data and obtain
good results in these scenarios. However, their application in problems with missing data are uncommon while in real-life
data, information is frequently incomplete in data mining, caused by the presence of missing values in attributes. Several
schemes have been studied to overcome the drawbacks produced by missing values in data mining tasks; one of the most well
known is based on preprocessing, formerly known as imputation. In this work, we focus on FRBCSs considering 14 different approaches
to missing attribute values treatment that are presented and analyzed. The analysis involves three different methods, in which
we distinguish between Mamdani and TSK models. From the obtained results, the convenience of using imputation methods for
FRBCSs with missing values is stated. The analysis suggests that each type behaves differently while the use of determined
missing values imputation methods could improve the accuracy obtained for these methods. Thus, the use of particular imputation
methods conditioned to the type of FRBCSs is required. 相似文献
Model-based testing is focused on testing techniques which rely on the use of models. The diversity of systems and software to be tested implies the need for research on a variety of models and methods for test automation. We briefly review this research area and introduce several papers selected from the 22nd International Conference on Testing Software and Systems (ICTSS). 相似文献
Membrane Computing is a discipline aiming to abstract formal computing models, called membrane systems or P systems, from the structure and functioning of the living cells as well as from the cooperation of cells in tissues, organs, and
other higher order structures. This framework provides polynomial time solutions to NP-complete problems by trading space
for time, and whose efficient simulation poses challenges in three different aspects: an intrinsic massively parallelism of
P systems, an exponential computational workspace, and a non-intensive floating point nature. In this paper, we analyze the
simulation of a family of recognizer P systems with active membranes that solves the Satisfiability problem in linear time
on different instances of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). For an efficient handling of the exponential workspace created
by the P systems computation, we enable different data policies to increase memory bandwidth and exploit data locality through
tiling and dynamic queues. Parallelism inherent to the target P system is also managed to demonstrate that GPUs offer a valid
alternative for high-performance computing at a considerably lower cost. Furthermore, scalability is demonstrated on the way
to the largest problem size we were able to run, and considering the new hardware generation from Nvidia, Fermi, for a total
speed-up exceeding four orders of magnitude when running our simulations on the Tesla S2050 server. 相似文献
In finite labelled transition systems the problems of deciding strong bisimilarity, observation equivalence and observation congruence areP-complete under many—oneNC-reducibility. As a consequence, algorithms for automated analysis of finite state systems based on bisimulation seem to be inherently sequential in the following sense: the design of anNC algorithm to solve any of these problems will require an algorithmic breakthrough, which is exceedingly hard to achieve. 相似文献
Electrocaloric (EC) refrigeration, is accepted as an auspicious method to develop eco-friendly cooling devices. Here, the investigations on the EC response and energy storage performance of heterovalent-doped Ba(Sn, Ti)O3 relaxor ferroelectrics are carried out. Doping of aliovalent Mn or Nb elements into Ti site would regulate both the EC and energy storage behaviors. An enhanced EC temperature change up to 1.31 K, and a maximal recoverable energy storage density of 0.24 J cm??3 with the efficiency as high as 87.11?%, can be observed under 70 kV cm??1 in 0.5?% acceptor-doped Ba(Sn, Ti)O3 ceramics. It is found that the local internal stress, the local charge fluctuation, and the oxygen deficiencies would benefit the electrical behaviors of this system. These results would shed light on the effect of the heterovalent substitution on the electrical properties of lead-free BaTiO3 system and provide a novel and simple route to further improve the EC response and energy storage performance.
Ethylene-propylene copolymers have been prepared by using Ziegler-Natta catalysts based on TiCl4, MgCl2, PCl3 and (n-Bu)3PO4. The catalysts TiCl4/MgCl2/PCl3 and TiCl4/MgCl2/(n-Bu)3PO4 were prepared by reacting TiCl4 with pretreated MgCl2. The support was prepared by ball milling of MgCl2 with varied amounts of PCl3 or (n-Bu)3PO4. The addition of PCl3 has remarkably increased the MgCl2 surface area in comparison with (n-Bu)3PO4. The effects of PCl3 and (n-Bu)3PO4 on ethylene homopolymerization, ethylene-propylene copolymerization and on copolymer properties were evaluated. The catalyst
system containing PCl3 permitted to synthesize propylene-ethylene copolymers with up to 75% (w/w) of propylene and provided control of copolymer
crystallinity. The reduction of the copolymer molecular weight distribution suggested that PCl3 acted as an internal donor, poisoning some active catalytic sites.

For a given $\theta \in (a,b)$, we investigate the question whether there exists a positive quadrature formula with maximal degree of precision which has the prescribed abscissa $\theta $ plus possibly $a$ and/or $b$, the endpoints of the interval of integration. This study relies on recent results on the location of roots of quasi-orthogonal polynomials. The above positive quadrature formulae are useful in studying problems in one-sided polynomial $L_1$ approximation. 相似文献
The concentrations of 102 chemical compounds (saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, palmitates, total and free acids, total hydroxyacids, total and free alcohols, acidic monoesters and monoesterified 1,2,3‐propanetriols) have been determined by GC/FID on white and yellow comb beeswax of Apis mellifera from different regions of Spain. Guide‐value ranges are proposed for its characterization and to discriminate adulterated foundation beeswax sheets. The concentrations of many compounds resulted to be statistically different for white and yellow beeswaxes, while the observation of concentrations out of normal in some marketed foundation beeswax sheets suggested their adulteration. However, the measurement of anomalous concentrations in foundation beeswax sheets did not imply necessarily their rejection by the bees. 相似文献
