Individuals nowadays can decide to invest and act in few minutes if not in few seconds. This growth has led to a corresponding growth in the amount of fraud and misconduct seen in the stock markets through the use of technology. The internet is often used as a real time platform for illegal financial activity such as illegal activities on Financial Discussion Boards (FDBs). Managing and monitoring FDBs in real time is a complex and time consuming task; given the volume of data produced and the fact that some of the data is unstructured. This paper presents a novel Financial Discussion Boards Irregularities Detection System (FDBs-IDS) for FDBs which can highlight irregularities or potentially unlawful practices on FDBs. For example comments that might suggest a pump and dump activity is happening. The proposed system extracts information from FDBs, where templates hosting scenarios of known illegal activities are used to detect any potential misdemeanors. Analysis conducted on a single day trading, found that of the 3000 comments extracted from FDBs, 0.2% of these comments were deemed suspicious and required further investigation of a discussion board moderator. The manpower required to perform this task manually over the course of a year could be excessive and unaffordable. This research highlights the importance and the need of an automated crime detection system on FDBs, such as FDBs-IDS which could be used and thus tackle potential criminal activities on the internet.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116004795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, previous experiments were replicated by using different ML techniques with several enhancements in order to better understand the sentiment classification process and to compare results with cross-domain analysis.

Instead, data streams must be fused into tangible facts and these pieces of information must be combined with a background knowledge to infer new pieces of knowledge. And since many IoT applications require almost realtime reactivity to stimulus of the environment, such information inference process has to be performed in a continuous, on-line manner. This paper proposes a new semantic model for data stream processing and real-time reasoning based on the concepts of Semantic Stream and Fact Stream, as a natural extension of Complex Event Processing (CEP) and RDF (graph-based knowledge model). The main advantages of our approach are that 1) it considers time as a key relation between pieces of information; 2) the processing of streams can be implemented using CEP; 3) it is general enough to be applied to any Data Stream Management System (DSMS). Lastly, we will present challenges and prospects on using machine learning and induction algorithms to learn abstractions and reasoning rules from a continuous data stream.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"1965 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128038070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method to search and measure fissures in RGB images of concrete elements has been developed and implemented as a MATLAB script. The algorithm uses several digital image processing tools to detect the measure, the cracks width and orientation; featuring these tools are the spatial filters called “orientation kernels” developed especially for detecting the angle and width of the cracks.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121258045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moth flame optimization (MFO) is another optimization algorithm, motivated by the locomotion of moths around a light source. Both of these algorithms have tried to model the search agents and altered properties like mass, gravitational constant, fitness, location, etc. in order to find the most optimal value. Optimization algorithms usually solve only a class of problems and therefore the search for a faster and more comprehensive algorithm is always on. By hybridizing MFO and GSA, the performance is expected to improve across various measures. This paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm by using concepts of moth flame optimization and gravitational search algorithm and applies this hybrid algorithm to image segmentation. An optimized K-means algorithm and an optimized thresholding algorithm have been proposed. The results of the segmentation are then used to classify apples into different classes.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124850161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From socially impactful event predictions to smarter ways of shopping online, big fast data is streaming in and being utilized constantly. Unfortunately, unusual instances of data, called imbalanced data, are still being ignored at large because of the inadequacies of analytical methods that are designed to handle homogenized data sets and to “smooth out” outliers. Consequently, rare use cases of significant importance remain neglected and lead to high-cost loses or even tragedies. In the past decade, a myriad of approaches handling this problem that range from data modifications to alterations of existing algorithms have appeared with varying success. Yet, the majority of them have major drawbacks when applied to different application domains because of the non-uniform nature of the applicable data. Within the vast domain of e-Commerce, we are proposing a new approach for handling imbalanced data, which is a hybrid classification method that will consist of a mixed solution of multi-modal data formats and algorithmic adaptations for an optimal balance between prediction accuracy, precision and specificity. Our solution improves data usability, classification accuracy and resulting costs of analyzing massive data sets used in personalizing customer experiences in e-Commerce.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123525865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The central aim in developing the SP system has been to simplify and integrate observations and concepts across artificial intelligence, mainstream computing, mathematics, and human learning, perception and cognition. Key ideas in the theory are information compression via the matching and unification of patterns (ICMUP) and, more specifically, information compression via a concept of multiple alignment adapted from that concept in bioinformatics. Multiple alignment has the potential to be the “double helix” of intelligence — as significant for the understanding of intelligence as is DNA in biological sciences. The background and origins of the SP theory, and the structure and workings of the system are described in outline. The SP theory has strengths and potential in modelling several different aspects of human intelligence, as outlined in the paper.
