One way to deal with this problem is through feature extraction technique. In order to extract features from large climatological time series data, we propose a feature extraction method based on autoencoder neural network (AUTOE). As a first step, time series is standardized. Then, different architectures of autoencoder is applied on it to reduce dimensionality. Finally, k-means clustering algorithm are used to evaluate them through quality measures. As a result, autoencoder performs well and is competitive with other feature extraction techniques over Synthetic Control Chart Time Series.","PeriodicalId":144567,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123692314","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 bacteria population, the food stock and the centroid of the colonies are used as data for training a Kohonen's neural network.

Estimating much more than necessary can lead loss of new contracts and doing on the contrary can cause huge financial losses. Generating efficient time estimates is one of the fundamental points in software projects because it helps the clients to see how much time will be spent to develop the project through a schedule. Thus, this paper presents the performance of regression methods for software projects time estimation: linear regression, parametric quantile regression, and nonparametric kernel regression. The performance of the methods is assessed by the mean magnitude of relative errors (MMRE). Experiments were carried out using twelve projects data set from NASA repository. The results showed that kernel regression provides a versatile method of exploring a general relationship between variables and gives good predictions of software programming time yet to be made without reference to a fixed parametric model.","PeriodicalId":144567,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126610886","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 memory is a feedforward four-layer dendritic neural network based on lattice algebra operations that computes the nearest match between input and prototype data vectors. Our approach shows the inherent capability of n-dimensional vector association to realize coarse or fine data mapping that is computationally simple. Specifically, we apply the DLHAM in a two stage algorithm to the quantization and transfer of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color coded images. Input color pixels are first quantized and then the resulting representative colors are mapped to another set of palette colors by hetero-association. Examples and quantization error are included to show the DLHAM performance.","PeriodicalId":144567,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126761726","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}

Thus, the present work proposes an algorithm to identify anomalies behaviors that may be considered fraud cases. We use the unsupervised machine learning technique, Self-Organizational Maps (SOM), to extract patterns of consumption of vehicles and identify anomalies scores based on its own and group history behavior.

Such systems should take advantage of the large amount of wireless networks and radio interfaces already incorporated in most mobile consumer devices. Among the existing radio interfaces, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 4.0 is called to play a major role in the deployment of energy efficient ubiquitous services. In this paper, we first show that the high sensitivity of BLE4.0 to fast fading makes infeasible the use of radio propagation models to directly estimate the distance between a reference transmitter and the mobile device. We then explore the use of supervised learning algorithms towards the development of radio maps of beacons analysing in-depth two metrics accuracy and mean error. Our approach also explores two main parameters: (i) Transmission power (Tx) of the BLE4.0 beacons; and (ii) Physical characteristics of the area. Based on our results, we argue that the mean error can be improved up to 28% configuring the two main parameters.","PeriodicalId":144567,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124492617","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 cleansing procedure is based on the Attribute-based Decision Graphs, which are graphs built over the attribute space of a data set. Such graphs gather the underlying patterns from the data set and use this knowledge to check each attribute value for noise. Classification results considering four learning algorithms and five data sets with artificially added noise have shown the effectiveness of the proposed cleansing procedure.","PeriodicalId":144567,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"40 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124657013","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 recent years, nature has been a source of inspiration for many computer scientists when proposing new metaheuristics such as the algorithms inspired by swarm intelligence. They are based on the behavior of animals that live in groups such as birds, fishes and bats. In this context, Bat Algorithm (BA) is a recent metaheuristic inspired by echolocation of bats during their flights. However, a problem that this algorithm faces is the loss of the ability to generate diversity and, consequently, the chances of finding the global solution are reduced. This paper proposes a modification to the original BA using two methods known as Cauchy mutation operator and Elite Opposition-Based Learning. The new variant aims generate diversity of the algorithm and increases its convergence velocity. It was compared to the original BA and another variant found in the literature. For this comparison, the proposed variant used four benchmark functions, during 30 independent runs. After the experiments, the superiority of the new variant is highlighted when the results are compared to the original BA.","PeriodicalId":144567,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124749448","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}
