This heterogeneous marsupial robotic system is composed by an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) that acts as a carrier and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that acts as a passenger, and it is designed for military tasks and other tasks like environmental monitoring, wild life tracking, and search & rescue missions. Through the combination, the cooperative marsupial robots benefit from their heterogeneity by using the superiority of each team member and overcoming their limitations. Moreover, the attitude control simulation model of the UAV is built, and the self-adaptive fuzzy parameter tuning rules for PID flight controller are given, so as to realize the online self-tuning of the controller parameters. Simulation results show that: compared with the conventional PID controller, this attitude control algorithm of fuzzy self-adaptive PID has a better dynamic response performance.","PeriodicalId":211040,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Advanced Computational Intelligence (ICACI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127496766","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 latest discoveries on disease and its treatment are mostly propagated in the form of biomedical publications such as those in PubMed. Unfortunately, this information is distributed in unstructured text with over two thousand articles being added annually. Text mining technology plays an important role in information extraction, since it can be used to uncover hidden value from the vast amount of text in reasonable time. In general, a preliminary task of text mining is Named Entity Recognition (NER). In this case, a gold standard corpus is needed, since the capability of NER depends on a trustworthy corpus. However the construction of gold standard corpus is a laborious and time-consuming process. In order to obtain a reasonably practical corpus in a limited time, this paper consequently proposes a semiautomatic approach to construct a thyroid cancer interventions corpus. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can be used to construct a thyroid cancer intervention corpus reasonably in terms of both performance and overfitting avoidance.","PeriodicalId":211040,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Advanced Computational Intelligence (ICACI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122784326","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 introduces a hypothesis testing technique and incorporated into a Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) based Monte-Carlo Simulation(MCS) algorithm to solve the complex network reliability problem. The function of hypothesis testing technique is to reduce the dispensable simulation in network system reliability estimation. The proposed technique contains three components: hypothesis testing, network reliability calculation and PSO algorithm for finding solutions. The function of hypothesis testing is to abandon unpromising solutions; we use Monte-Carlo simulation to obtain network reliability; since the network reliability problem is NP-hard, PSO algorithm is applied. Since the execution time can be better decreased with the decrease of Confidence level of hypothesis testing in a range, but the solution becomes worse when the confidence level exceed a critical value, the experiment are carried out on different confidence levels for finding the critical value. The experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce the computational cost without any loss of its performance under a certain confidence level.","PeriodicalId":211040,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Advanced Computational Intelligence (ICACI)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114971719","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 TBL activity provided the students with an entertaining motivation to use English for cultural exploration in the context of an increasingly popular medium for everyday communication. The activity also provided useful data for several types of task-based assessment (TBA): (1) integrative assessments to assess proficiency in production skills, namely, speaking and writing; (2) communicative assessments, in which a large amount of communication or negotiation is expected; and (3) multi-phase assessments, in which self-assessment and peer assessment both occur within the proposed assessment task.

Generally, investors use two statistical techniques for making a decision, which are the fundamental analysis and the technical analysis. Recently, machine learning models which are a part of artificial intelligence, has been applied to enhance investors for investment. A number of machine learning models have been investigated for stock prediction such as Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Neural Network (NN). In this paper, several multiclass classification techniques using neural networks are investigated. The multi-binary classification experiments using One-Against-One (OAO) and One-Against-All (OAA) techniques are tested and they are compared with the traditional neural network. Furthermore, an alternative data preparation and a data selection process are proposed. The experimental results show that the multi-binary classification using OAA technique outperforms other techniques. It can provide the return on investment greater than the traditional analysis techniques.","PeriodicalId":211040,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Advanced Computational Intelligence (ICACI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125343526","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 approach, which is based on an Active Appearance Model (AAM) and a face segmentation technique, produces a set of features that can be evaluated by several popular machine learning methods, namely, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM).

By designing a continuous-time dynamic for weight associated with each single objective function, the multi-objective optimization problem is turned to an optimization problem with a single time-varying objective function. Then the neurodynamic model can be formulated by combining the weight dynamic with existing neurodynamic models for single-objective optimization. By setting different time scale for the two subsystem, it is shown that the trajectory of the state of the neurodynamic system can approximate the whole pareto front well in bi-objective optimization problems. For the many-objective optimization problem, by designing proper dynamics for weight vectors, the whole Pareto-front can be well approximated by a curve generated from the neurodynamic system. Finally, numerical simulation is presented to illustrate the neurodynamic approaches.","PeriodicalId":211040,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Advanced Computational Intelligence (ICACI)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132128192","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}
