A three-phase approach aimed at identification, classification of anomalous data and at prediction of its consequences is applied to processing sensory inputs from multiple data sources. An ad-hoc activation of sensors and processing of data minimises the quantity of data that needs to be analysed at any one time. Adaptability and autonomy are achieved through the combined use of statistical analysis, computational intelligence and clustering techniques. A genetic algorithm is used to optimise the choice of data sources, the type and characteristics of the analysis undertaken. The experimental results have demonstrated that the framework is generally applicable to various problem domains and reasonable performance is achieved in terms of computational intelligence accuracy rate. Online learning can also be used to dynamically adapt the system in near real time.","PeriodicalId":216554,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Evolving and Autonomous Learning Systems (EALS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123532535","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}

To generate dynamics in these networks, methods for altering such graphs are needed. Growing and shrinking is done simply by doing further generation iterations or undo them. In our paper we present four methods to merge two graphs based on the Barabási-Albert-model, and five strategies to reverse them. First we compared these algorithms by edge preservation, which describes the ratio of the inner structure kept after altering. To check if hubs in the initial graphs are hubs in the resulting graphs as well, we used the node-degree rank correlation. Finally we tested how well the node-degree distribution follows the power-law function from the Barabási-Albert-model.","PeriodicalId":216554,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Evolving and Autonomous Learning Systems (EALS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124704306","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}

Kasthurirathna, Piraveenan Mahendra","doi":"10.1109/EALS.2014.7009501","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EALS.2014.7009501","url":null,"abstract":"Evolutionary game theory is used to model the evolution of competing strategies in a population of players. Evolutionary stability of a strategy is a dynamic equilibrium, in which any competing mutated strategy would be wiped out from a population. If a strategy is weak evolutionarily stable, the competing strategy may manage to survive within the network. Understanding the network-related factors that affect the evolutionary stability of a strategy would be critical in making accurate predictions about the behaviour of a strategy in a real-world strategic decision making environment. In this work, we evaluate the effect of network topology on the evolutionary stability of a strategy. We focus on two well-known strategies known as the Zero-determinant strategy and the Pavlov strategy. Zero-determinant strategies have been shown to be evolutionarily unstable in a well-mixed population of players. We identify that the Zero-determinant strategy may survive, and may even dominate in a population of players connected through a non-homogeneous network. We introduce the concept of `topological stability' to denote this phenomenon. We argue that not only the network topology, but also the evolutionary process applied and the initial distribution of strategies are critical in determining the evolutionary stability of strategies. Further, we observe that topological stability could affect other well-known strategies as well, such as the general cooperator strategy and the cooperator strategy. Our observations suggest that the variation of evolutionary stability due to topological stability of strategies may be more prevalent in the social context of strategic evolution, in comparison to the biological context.","PeriodicalId":216554,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Evolving and Autonomous Learning Systems (EALS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132997253","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}

It is proved that ensemble methods improve the performance of individual classifiers as long as the members of the ensemble are sufficiently diverse. Much research has been done using different approaches in order to obtain successful ensembles. One of the most used techniques for combining classifiers and improving prediction accuracy is stacking. In this paper, we present a schema based on the stacked generalization. The main contribution of this research is that the base-classifiers of the proposed schema are self-developing (evolving) Fuzzy-rule-based (FRB) classifiers. Since the proposed stacking schema is based on evolving classifiers, it keeps the properties of the evolving classifiers of streaming data. Several versions of this proposed schema have been successfully tested and their results have been extensively analyzed.","PeriodicalId":216554,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Evolving and Autonomous Learning Systems (EALS)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122081393","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 constitutes a type of Spatio-Temporal Brain Data (STBD) measured according to neurons spatial location inside the brain and their signals oscillating over the mental activity period [1]; thus, it is challenging to analyse and model dynamically. This paper addresses the problem by means of a novel Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) architecture, called NeuCube [2]. After the NeuCube is trained with the fMRI samples, the `hidden' spatio- temporal relationship between data is learnt. Different cognitive states of the brain are activated while a subject is reading different sentences in terms of their polarity (affirmative and negative sentences). These are visualised via the SNN cube (SNNc) and then recognized through its classifier. The excellent classification accuracy of 90% proves the NeuCube potential in capturing the fMRI data information and classifying it correctly. The significant improvement in accuracy is demonstrated as compared with some already published results [3] on the same data sets and traditional machine learning methods. Future works is based on the proposed NeuCube model are also discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":216554,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Evolving and Autonomous Learning Systems (EALS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128871328","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}
