As problems become increasingly demanding, parallel implementations of ML algorithms become critical for developing hybrid intelligent real-world applications. The relative low cost of GPUs combined with the unprecedent computational power they offer, make them particularly well-positioned to automatically analyze and capture relevant information from large amounts of data. In this paper, we propose the creation of an open source GPU Machine Learning Library (GPUMLib) that aims to provide the building blocks for the scientific community to develop GPU ML algorithms. Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the GPUMLib components already implemented achieve significant savings over the counterpart CPU implementations.","PeriodicalId":174618,"journal":{"name":"2010 10th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129463586","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}

Software development companies very often outsource the test of their products. In such cases, the hired companies sometimes have to test softwares without any access to the source code. This type of service is called black box testing, which includes presentation of some ad-hoc input to the software followed by an assessment of the outcome. The common place for black box testing is sequential approach and slow pace of work. This ineffectiveness is due to the combinatorial explosion of software parameters and payloads. This work presents a neuro-fuzzy and multi-agent system architecture for improving black box testing tools for client-side vulnerability discovery, specifically, memory corruption flaws. Experiments show the efficiency of the proposed hybrid intelligent approach over traditional black box testing techniques.","PeriodicalId":174618,"journal":{"name":"2010 10th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128553414","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}

With both local and global clustering, Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are applied sequentially to extract tissue constituents such as nuclei, stroma, and connecting contents from background. Specifically, local GMM is firstly applied to detect nuclei by scanning the input image, which is followed by global GMM to separate other tissue constituents from background. Regular RGB (red, green and blue) color space is employed individually for the local and global GMMs to make use of the H&E staining features. Experiments on a set of cervix histology images show the improved performance of the proposed algorithm when compared with traditional K-means clustering and state-of-art multiphase level set methods.","PeriodicalId":174618,"journal":{"name":"2010 10th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125078819","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}

Indeed, FCCTF attempts to improve our previous scheme Fuzzy based trust estimation for Congestion Control in WSNs (FCC) [1].

Due to the fact that it is easy to attack and not so to defend wireless networks, good candidate tools would be the ones that could profit from intelligent techniques. In this paper, we use the Danger Theory (DT) and a Bayesian classifier (using naïve Bayes) embedded in a military style multi-agent system (MAS) to create a lightweight, adaptable and dynamic detection system for wireless networks (WIDS). Experimental results show that the artificial immune aspect of the proposed system is capable of detecting unknown intrusion and to identify them automatically with considerable few false alarms and low cost for the network traffic.","PeriodicalId":174618,"journal":{"name":"2010 10th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115855609","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 algorithm is used for finding optimal values or regions of multi-dimensional spaces throughout the interaction of each particle positions and its values. Originally, the PSO has two factors such as position and velocity vectors which are sources for next positions of particles, respectively. However, in order to reach optimal regions quickly, accurately and even closely, we present a new third order particle swarm optimization which has three vectors: i.e. a position vector, a velocity vector and an acceleration vector. From the proposed PSO, we obtain a third order difference equation and we will derive the convergence region for four parameters from the equation. By setting four appropriate parameters near the convergence region with the proposed PSO algorithm, we test 2 benchmark functions with it and make comparison between the new third order PSO and the variant of the original PSO. Results from simulations clearly show that the proposed algorithm has better performance and faster convergence speed rather than the original PSO.","PeriodicalId":174618,"journal":{"name":"2010 10th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116013857","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}
