Many available beamformers are based on second-order statistics and their efficiency degrades significantly due to impulsive noise existed in the received signal. Therefore, a demand exists for attention to address beamforming problems under nonGaussian noise environments. According to the robust performance of information theoretic learning (ITL) criteria in nonGaussian environments, we propose a linearly constrained version of maximum correntropy learning algorithm in order to solve beamforming problem in presence of nonGaussian and impulsive noises. Simulation results of the proposed adaptive beamformer are provided to illustrate its accurate and resistant performance in comparison with conventional second-order-moment-based beamformers.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"705 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123638518","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}

However, deploying database systems in such environments poses some challenges that should be addressed. The performance of database systems can degrade due to the various overheads introduced by the virtualization including CPU, memory, disk, and network overheads. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of MySQL in-disk database and DB2 in-memory database in Xen virtualized environment. Our experimental results show that the performance of MySQL degrades dramatically if it runs in Xen while the performance of DB2 in Xen is comparable with that in the native environment. Moreover, the performance of DB2 is much higher than MySQL in Xen environment. These observations indicate that in-memory databases such as DB2 are good candidates to be migrated to Xen-based cloud platforms.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122570591","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 its natural form, a protein is a three-dimensional entity composed of β-sheets, α-helices, and other types of substructures. Knowing the exact three-dimensional structure of a protein is the key to diagnosing several diseases and producing some drugs. In many proteins, β-sheets are the most common and the dominating substructure. Predicting the number of β-sheets in a given protein sequence is a valuable step in predicting the whole β-sheets structure in the sense that it can reduce the time complexity of the exhaustive search space examination predictors. In this research, a data-mining method for predicting the number of β-sheets is developed. The evaluations show that its performance is highly reliable.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129888081","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}

These techniques are usually referred to as blind source separation (BSS). One of the methods recently used in BSS is non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) both in supervised and unsupervised learning cases. In this paper, we propose a novel NMF-based algorithm namely, multi-layer KL-CNMF (Kullback-Leibler-Complex NMF) using fuzzy initial clustering to improve the performance of BSS in the unsupervised mode. In addition, we use LPC error clustering as a powerful criterion especially for separating harmonic signals such as certain speech sources from their multi-layer KL-CNMF components. The results on speech mixtures of the TIMIT database based on signal to distortion ratio (SDR) and signal to interference ratio (SIR) show that the proposed system significantly outperforms the baseline system which is an NMF-based BSS with LPC error clustering.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129041990","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}

Hence, green cellular network has been introduced, which suggests the use of energy optimization methods in cellular networks. One of the solutions to optimize the energy consumption of cellular networks is to switch on/off base stations with low traffic demand. Previous works on cell switching usually do not address the spectrum efficiency and QoS of users in their methods. In this paper, a cell switching method is proposed on the basis of a baseline method which considers the spectrum efficiency and QoS of users in reallocation of radio resources after switching off a base station. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method reduces the energy consumption and improves spectrum efficiency compared to baseline method.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131052187","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 this technology, Base Station (BS) is equipped with a large number of antennas. Employing high resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for all antennas may cause high costs and high power consumption for the BS. By performing numerical results, we evaluate the use of low-resolution ADCs for uplink massive MIMO by analyzing Bit Error Rate (BER) performance for different detection techniques (MMSE, ZF) and different modulations (QPSK, 16-QAM) to find an optimal quantization resolution. Our results reveal that the BER performance of uplink massive MIMO systems with a few-bit resolution ADCs is comparable to the case of having full precision ADCs. We found that the optimum choice of quantization level (number of bits in ADCs) depends on the modulation technique and the number of antennas at the BS.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132786484","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}

GLCM provides the texture characteristics of an input image through the second order statistical measurements. Because of existence of vagueness and uncertainty in the discriminant features extracted from different emotional face images, the fuzzy measure is involved in the NN classifier to recognize the emotions of faces with more accuracy.

This is a very difficult problem since the association between input data sequences and output label sequences is not given at the frame level. Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) equipped with connectionist temporal classification (CTC) are among the best tools devised to handle this problem and have been used to achieve state of the art results in many handwritten and speech recognition tasks. The reason that RNNs are used instead of feedforward networks in combination with CTC is that CTC does not model the dynamics of sequences. Specifically, the long short term memory (LSTM) RNN, which is excellent at memorizing information for a long time, is used in combination with CTC to overcome the limitations of CTC in modeling the dynamics of sequences. In this paper, we propose to model each label with a sequence of hidden sub-labels at the CTC level. The proposed framework allows CTC to learn the intra-label relations which transfers part of the load of learning dynamical sequences from RNN to CTC. Our experiments on handwriting recognition tasks show that the proposed method outperforms standard CTC in terms of accuracy.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121278425","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}
