In this study, different ensemble learning methods for lung cancer survival prediction were evaluated on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) dataset. Data were preprocessed in several steps before applying classification models. Five popular ensemble methods, Bagging, Dagging, AdaBoost, MultiBoosting and Random SubSpace, and eight classification algorithms, RIPPER, Decision Stump, Simple Cart, C4.5, SMO, Logistic Regression, Bayes Net and Random Forest, as base classifiers were evaluated for lung cancer survival prediction. Then, risk of mortality after 5 years of diagnosis has been estimated. The prediction performance is measured in terms of accuracy and area under ROC curve (AUC). AdaBoost Algorithm had the best efficiency in increasing base classifiers performance in comparison to other four ensemble methods. It increased the accuracy of RIPPER from 88.88% to 88.98%, the accuracy of decision stump algorithm from 81.21% to 87.67% and the accuracy of SMO algorithm from 83.41% to 87.16%. AdaBoost algorithm also increased the AUC of RIPPER from 91.5% to 94.9%, the AUC of decision stump algorithm from 81.2% to 93.9%, the AUC of J48 algorithm from 94.1% to 94.9% and the AUC of SMO algorithm from 50.0% to 92.1%. Random subspace algorithm was the worst method in comparison to other ensemble techniques used in this study. The results empirically showed that ensemble methods are able to evaluate the performance of their base classifiers and they are appropriate methods for analysis of cancer survival.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"186 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":"114744855","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}

In the literature is well-know that any wavelet-base compression encoder considers three stages: 1) Conversion of pixel into the frequency domain in order to obtain coefficients; 2) Scalar Quantization; and 3) Coding of the wavelet quantized coefficients. By one hand is important to highlight that just Scalar Quantization stage is responsible for degraded or maintaining precision of a certain coefficient, thus if the accuracy of inverse quantized coefficient is reduced we can consider a lossy reconstruction otherwise when inverse quantized coefficient is perfectly reconstructed we consider a lossless reconstruction with Scalar Quantization equal to one. By the other hand, we modify the state-of-the-art and classical JPEG2000 dead-zone scalar quantization modifying the process with a Statistical Normalization or better known as Z-Scores. We can define a Z-score as a expression in terms of standard deviations distributed along their mean. Thus, Z-scores can be defined as distribution with μ = 0 and σ2 = 0, in this way visual redundancies of the image are incremented, which gives as a result a lower compression rate.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"59 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":"114797867","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}

Generalized RVM (GRVM) follows the work of generalized linear model (GLM), which is a natural generalization of ordinary linear regression model and shares a common approach to estimate the parameters. GRVM inherits the advantages of GLM, i.e., unified model structure, same training algorithm, and convenient task-specific model design. It also inherits the advantages of RVM, i.e., probabilistic output, extremely sparse solution, hyperparameter auto-estimation. Besides, GRVM extends RVM to a wider range of learning tasks beyond classification and ordinary regression by assuming that the conditional output belongs to exponential family distribution (EFD). Since EFD results in inference intractable problem in Bayesian analysis, in this paper, Laplace approximation is adopted to solve this problem, which is a common approach in Bayesian inference. Further, several task-specific models are designed based on GRVM including models for ordinary regression, count data regression, classification, ordinal regression, etc. Besides, the relationship between GRVM and traditional RVM models are discussed. Finally, experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed GRVM model.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"105 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":"123851560","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}

Controller gains are set automatically for a human tele-operator and the ultrasonic sensor system by calculating a confidence factor for the mobile robot tele-operator. The ultrasonic sensor system can assist a human tele-operator in driving the mobile robot to offset for shortcomings, for example the tele-operator may not be able to see the mobile robot or the human tele-operator may be tired.

However, the practical application of such data is often limited by the complexity when it comes to extracting the necessary information, mainly because of the lack of a proper structure and organization in the WOD-resources. The (re)organization of the knowledge contained in these resources might facilitate the identification of the necessary information and, consequently, limit the problems arising in their practical application. In this context, this paper proposes the application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to create a concept-based abstraction that better organizes the knowledge contained in the WOD-resources. In order to test, to what extent this enhanced organization is able to improve the data representation process, the obtained FCA models will be tested in a practical application to represent a set of Twitter contents in a specific task: the Topic Detection task at Replab 2013. The results demonstrate that the better data representation obtained through FCA improves the operation of the topic detection process, outperforming state-of-the-art results.","PeriodicalId":131825,"journal":{"name":"2017 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys)","volume":"11 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":"121052720","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}

This paper presents a framework for audio playback in cyber-physical environments named ‘Audio as a Service’. It features a method for loudspeaker selection and automatic adjustment of the audio output volume. This allows pervasive audio presentation in conjunction with user position data, while playing synchronously to an arbitrary number of connected loudspeakers. It further implements device discovery and a flexible interface to process and distribute auditive content.
