In this context, we explore the use of images of muzzles of pigs as a biometric identifier for uniquely distinguishing between pigs. To begin with, we form a series of conjectures leading to the selection of specific internal details visible on the muzzle's surface, which may collectively constitute a biometric identifier. These internal details include the muzzle shape contour, locations of the internal pores and cilia/hair and their density profiles, all of which are expected to be largely stable over time. Through content adaptive thresholding of Gaussian smoothed gradient magnitudes, gradient significance maps are generated which are used as quantized feature vectors (also termed as a patch statistic) for discrimination. Unsupervised classification results of mixed muzzle images based on this patch statistic shows significant promise.","PeriodicalId":239965,"journal":{"name":"2017 Ninth International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition (ICAPR)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126807238","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}

Three Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) followed by Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) architectures are used to extract multi-scale spatial features from each video. The main contribution of this work is the design and development of deep learning framework that can model unconstrained videos based on several important aspects.

This may result in a good overall performance of the classifier even though there is a huge red uction in the classification rate of positives. Quartiles based UnderSampling(QUS) method proposed in this paper, addresses the above problem in a simple way. That is balancing the dataset by selecting the negatives based on their similarity with respect to 5 quartiles: minimum, quartile1(Q1), median, quartile3(Q3) and maximum. Intention is to reduce the influence of excessive negatives on the classifier, which may bias it towards a better negatives classification otherwise. An advantage of this undersampling method is parameter independence and gives better results compared to the state of the art methods. The proposed method is tested on kNN (k Nearest Neighbour) classifier and empirical results improve the classification rate of positives than the original unprocessed imbalanced dataset.","PeriodicalId":239965,"journal":{"name":"2017 Ninth International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition (ICAPR)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132067569","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}

Sarcasm is a special type of sentiment which infers the opposite meaning of what people convey in the text. It is often expressed using positive or intensified positive words. Nowadays, posting sarcastic messages on social media like Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc., became a new trend to avoid direct negativity. In the presence of sarcasm, sentiment analysis on these social media texts became the most challenging task. Therefore, an automated system is required for sarcasm detector in textual data. Many researchers have proposed several sarcasm detection techniques to identify sarcastic text. These techniques are designed to detect sarcasm on the text scripted in English since it is the most popular language in social networking groups. However, parallel research for sarcasm detection on different Asian languages like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, and Bengali are not yet explored. One of the reasons for the less exploration of these languages for sarcastic sentiment analysis is the lack of annotated corpus even though they are popular in a large networked society. In this article, we proposed a context-based pattern i.e. “sarcasm as a contradiction between a tweet and the context of its related news” for sarcasm detection in Hindi tweets. The proposed approach utilized Hindi news as the context of a tweet with in the same timestamp and attained an accuracy of 87 %.","PeriodicalId":239965,"journal":{"name":"2017 Ninth International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition (ICAPR)","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122078661","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}

Different semantic units may share similar visual features. On the other hand, such features can have variations even within a single unit. Proposed methodology relies on colour cohesion and spatial relationship between the components with cohesive colour. At first image colour space is clustered to map the original colour to a reduced set. Number of cluster is automatically detected by analyzing the intensity histograms of the colour channels. Based on the similarity in terms of mapped colours, pixels are grouped. Subsequently, the spatial inclusiveness criteria is considered to merge the pixels groups where one group is contained within another. Finally, an attempt is made to merge the adjacent regions based on colour gradient. Colour cohesion is conceptualized by the process of colour space clustering, grouping of pixels in terms of colour similarity and region merging based on colour gradient. The spatial criteria is taken into account in terms of spatial inclusiveness at intermediate level and adjacency at final stage. Proposed methodology is tested on Berkley segmentation dataset. Performance comparison with few other methodologies indicates the effectiveness of proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":239965,"journal":{"name":"2017 Ninth International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition (ICAPR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129510881","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 this paper, we propose a method for improving the spatial resolution of HSI's making use of the high spatial resolution RGB image. We solve this problem under a sparse reconstruction framework with clustering of similar patches in the high resolution RGB image. To this end, we first learn a dictionary of atoms from the given low resolution HSI, followed by clustering of similar patches in the RGB image. Sparse coefficients corresponding to individual clusters are estimated using Matching Pursuit Algorithm. Since RGB image is considered to be the spectrally transformed version of desired high resolution HSI, we use the coefficients estimated as above for the reconstruction of high resolution HSI. Patchwise clustering ensures the spatial similarity between various patches in a cluster. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively recovers the spatial details, preserving the spectral information and removes the block artifacts associated with an independent application of GSOMP on all patches.

The normal network transforms into a disease network by new proteins joining the network or existing proteins leaving the network. To model this process, Graph kernel measures are used. By comparing pairs of graphs with different arrival sequences of nodes, we try to discover the arrival sequence that produces a smooth transition during transformation of a normal network into a disease network. Also the nodes that produce significant changes in the network are studied from the perspective of influential nodes theory in social networks. The network evolution is modelled using Duplication-mutation with complementarity (DMC) model. Results at a global level matching of network properties are satisfactory. But the actual matching of links between the simulated network and the original is poor and this issue needs to be investigated further.","PeriodicalId":239965,"journal":{"name":"2017 Ninth International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition (ICAPR)","volume":"62 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124325082","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}
