The HMAX is a hierarchal biologically inspired model which leads to a good performance in object recognition. Despite achieving a relatively good classification rate, its result is not stable, and it is varied during each program run, which means it is not a repeatable approach. Using randomly selected features, the HMAX has an inconstant classification rate. We propose to change the strategy of feature selection in the standard HMAX. By repeatable feature selecting, the HMAX achieves a very good repeatable performance which is more reliable in comparison with the previous result. To cope with unrepeatability in the HMAX, we suggest that corners which are extracted by the Harris corner detection can be selected as key points. By this alternation, we receive a higher classification rate and a lower computation time. The proposed approach shows excellent performance especially when the number of training images and extracted features is low. In the training stage, only five images for positive classes and five images for negative classes are used. Classification rate and time consumption are evaluated in Caltech dataset. Furthermore, the effect of the number of feature is demonstrated in both new approach and the standard HMAX features.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"44 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":"129119440","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 our work, we propose a hybrid cache design that exploits the characteristics of the employed cache technologies to achieve better power and area efficiency alongside the asymmetric coding that increases the ratio of 0s to 1s in the cache data by adding an order of information redundancy to the cache's original data. We benefit from a hybrid cache memory architecture that utilizes the positive aspects of STT-RAM and SRAM technologies to propose a solution that is more energy efficient compared to conventional cache architectures. By the evaluation of programs' cache data from Splash-2 and Parsec suits, it is indicated that alone by the hybrid architecture the total static and dynamic power consumption has dropped by 55% compared to the SRAM and DRAM caches and the area has reduced by 45%. With the aid of the proposed coding scheme, the number of set operations issued to cache has decreased by 47%. This reduces the write power of programs by 24%, leading to an overall 14% reduction in the programs' total static and dynamic power consumption.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"6 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":"125266994","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}

Then, an appropriate algorithm is selected for recovering the motion vector of degraded MB using the adaptive algorithm. Results of simulation performed on various video sequences show that in comparison with the outer boundary matching algorithm (OBMA), the proposed method can reach the maximum frame performance and average frame performance of 2.4dB and 0.2dB per video sequence, respectively.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"101 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":"128591323","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}

Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) is a proven method for saving energy and reducing peak demand. However, due to highly stochastic load behavior and increasing the market penetration by intermittent renewable energies, energy conservation remains a challenge. We propose an improved CVR assessment scheme that employs a fuzzy Kalman filter with load-to-voltage (LTV) dependence while manipulating with the degree of validity to deal with this challenge. By definition, in the proposed approach, the fuzzy Kalman filter is used to estimate time-varying model parameters, while manipulation with validity concept leveraging human expert knowledge to increase the efficiency of the filter. Simulation results on an IEEE 34-bus, 24.9 kV test feeder show the priority of the proposed approach compared with alternative approaches.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"107 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":"115586793","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}

Various machine learning approaches have been studied in literature with the purpose of improving the accuracy of the screening methods. Although the performance of the machine learning algorithm depends on the application and the type of data, yet there is no comprehensive analysis of different approaches in the diabetic retinopathy screening to choose the best approach. To this end, in this study a comparative analysis of nine common classification algorithms is performed to select the most applicable approach for the specific problem of screening diabetic retinopathy patients. Individual algorithms are optimized with respect to their tunable parameters, and are compared together in terms of their accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.

Cardiac SPECT is one of the efficient methods to diagnose the disease. Plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries causes CAD and makes them narrow over time. Therefore, one of the most important issues is automating of CAD early detection. In the literature, various classification methods have been presented. Also, a lot of feature selection techniques have been developed to reduce the high dimension of extracted features of images in SPECT. In this paper, a method has been proposed for early diagnosis of CAD from SPECT heart images. The Cuckoo Search and Genetic algorithm are employed for selecting the optimal set of features which can lessen feature vector dimension from 44 to 5 features. Detection rate of 77.19% is obtained by using Bagging algorithm for classifying SPECT data. Results show the proposed method has high performance comparing with other recently researches.","PeriodicalId":151934,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131093052","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}
