In this paper, we propose a block dictionary learning algorithm, called Mini-batch K-sparse Dictionary Learning (MKDL), by directly optimizing a K-sparse problem under the mini-batch setting. At each iteration of MKDL, only small-batch training samples are used to sparse coding and dictionary update stages. Particularly, iterative hard thresholding and projected gradient descent schemes are employed to optimize the two above-mentioned stages, respectively. Preliminary results on image denoising have much better performance than previous dictionary learning algorithms, which validates the effectiveness of our approach in convergence speed and denoising quality.","PeriodicalId":236093,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134001620","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}

Despite current progress, lots of hurdles remain in the way of a robust LPD system. This is particularly true for the detection of license plates with different layouts and skew angles. In this paper, a novel LPD system is proposed for detecting English and Chinese license plates with large skew angles. The proposed system consists of three main stages: 1) a character proposal module to find candidate characters based on Extremal Regions (ERs); 2) feature extraction and classification relies on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN); 3) license plate detection by region linking. The new method much improves on the robustness of existing approaches by leaving out character segmentation. The performance of the proposed license plate localization algorithm is verified using different datasets of vehicle images, including a large field-captured dataset, a skew and tilt dataset, a 12 countries dataset and two benchmark datasets. For Chinese civilian vehicles, the accuracy of plate localization is over 98.3%.","PeriodicalId":236093,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD)","volume":"472 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133057046","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 recent years, the special risk insurances have developed gradually, but we cannot obtain enough historical data because of the new types of insurance products. Therefore, using probability to deal with these insurance problems has certain limitations. In this paper, the potential loss of insured is considered as a nonnegative fuzzy variable based on credibility theory. Firstly, we prove that the risk averse decision makers prefer a fixed risk more than a fuzzy risk having the same expected value. Then the feasible price area under fuzzy loss is discussed. Moreover, a fuzzy optimal insurance model is established and the stop loss insurance is proved to be the optimal policy for the risk averse decision makers. In addition, the equation for solving the optimal deductible is given. Finally, some numerical examples of special risk insurances are given to illustrate the use of the research conclusions.","PeriodicalId":236093,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130506266","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}

Since object-oriented (OO) database has a stronger ability to store data, many commercial data are stored in object-oriented database and the applications of object-oriented database are more and more wide. Consequently, it is significant to exchange data from XML to object-oriented database. Meanwhile, there are a lot of spatiotemporal data in real applications, which should be transformed from XML to object-oriented database, by means of combining the characteristics of XML and object-oriented database. In this paper, we propose the methodologies of transforming spatiotemporal data from XML to object-oriented database. In particular, in order to describe spatiotemporal XML DTD, we study the object-oriented schema. Furthermore, we focus on mapping functions and rules for the transformation.","PeriodicalId":236093,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127847917","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}

Most of existing studies have assumed that the individuals have the same response (i.e., the same immune probability) when they are aware of the disease. Here we introduce a model of degree-correlated vaccination behavior in the asymmetric interaction of disease and disease information spreading. By extensive simulations, it finds when the vaccination probability is more positive correlated with individual's degree, the inhibition effect of disease information on the spread of disease become less effective. We also find there exists an optimal correlation between the vaccination probability and individual's degree which can inhibit the spread of disease more effectively.","PeriodicalId":236093,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123347674","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}

For this purpose, several techniques of multivariate analysis were used such as clustering of variables and units. This study illustrates that user experience is associated with the magnitude of actions related to lateral and longitudinal control; positive experience being associated with smoother actions, whereas negative feelings were associated with rougher ones. Furthermore, two main driver's profiles emerged; they are described by two latent variables, one of which is quality of the actions. Future research will investigate the determinants of these profiles.","PeriodicalId":236093,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126778346","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}
