Most of the research which exists on the detection and classification of turn lane arrows have many limitations including low accuracy. Therefore, a novel technique based on two novel concepts for improving the performance of the detection and classification of turn lane arrows is proposed in this paper. Firstly, pixel-wise segmentation of all turn lane arrows into one class instead of each turn lane arrow in a separate class is proposed. Secondly, a novel cascaded classifier that evolves its weights so that it can identify turn lane arrows is proposed. Three turn lane road markings named left turn lane, right turn lane and Continuous Central Turning Lane (CCTL) are evaluated using a real-world roadside image dataset created by video data including all state roads in Queensland provided by our industry partners.

Furthermore, the mobile app collects information regarding the level of physical activities and the environment such as light, temperature, air pressure using the built-in sensors of the smartphone. The latter could help infer the living conditions of the individual, even though the information is not directly about ADL. Tracking ADL in any method will inevitably intrude on the user's privacy. Our mobile app informs the user exactly what information we collect and all the data are stored locally on the smartphone. The user can view the report of the individual's ADL, and has the choice of deleting some or all data. Finally, we propose a feature extraction model for temporal ADL data and demonstrate how the features can be used to classify different behavioral patterns.","PeriodicalId":255763,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133926011","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}

However, the predictive performance and memory capacity of the standard TDRs are still limited, and dependent on the hyperparameter of the oscillation function. In this paper, we first analyze these limitations and their corresponding reasons. We find that the reasons for such limitations are fused by two aspects, which are the trade-off between the strength of self-feedback and neighboring-feedback caused by neuron separation, as well as the unsuitable order setting of the nonlinear function in DDE. Therefore, we propose a new form of TDR with second-order time delay to overcome such limitations, incurring a more flexible time-multiplexing. Moreover, a parameter-free nonlinear function is introduced to substitute the classic Mackey-Glass oscillator, which alleviates the problem of parameter dependency. Our experiments show that the proposed approach achieves better predictive performance and memory capacity compared with the standard TDR. Our proposed model also outperforms six other existing approaches on both time series prediction and recognition tasks.","PeriodicalId":255763,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115972615","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 prepared 22 years' worth of stock quarterly financial data and investigated three machine learning algorithms: Feed-forward Neural Network (FNN), Random Forest (RF) and Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for stock prediction based on fundamental analysis. In addition, we applied RF based feature selection and bootstrap aggregation in order to improve model performance and aggregate predictions from different models. Our results show that RF model achieves the best prediction results, and feature selection is able to improve test performance of FNN and ANFIS.

Graph-based approaches in the literature consider such interactions to be static, independent of the surroundings. In this paper, we put forward a novel approach to graph-based item recommendation built on the foundational idea that relational knowledge is characterized by a dynamic nature of the user and its surroundings. We claim that being able to capture such dynamic knowledge allows to build richer contexts upon which more precise recommendations can be built, e.g., taking into account current location, weather conditions, and user mood. The paper provides recipes to build and integrate dynamic user and item contexts in existing item recommendation tasks. We also introduce a novel Dynamic Context-aware Graph Neural Network (DCGNN) that can effectively leverage the knowledge of surroundings to learn the context-aware recommendation behaviour of users. The empirical analysis shows how our model outperforms static state-of-the-art approaches on four movie and travel recommendation benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":255763,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114758417","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}

Protein Structure Prediction is about determining the 3-dimensional form of a protein from a given amino acid sequence. The resulting structure directly relates to the functionalities of the protein. There are a wide range of algorithms to address Protein Structure Prediction as an optimization problem. Being said that there is no an ultimate algorithm that can effectively solve PSP under varying experimental settings. Hyper-heuristics can offer a solution as high-level, problem-independent search and optimization strategies. Selection Hyper-heuristics operate on given heuristic sets that directly work on the solution space. One group of Selection Hyper-heuristics focus on automatically specify the best heuristics on-the-fly. Yet, the candidate heuristics tend to be decided, preferably a domain expert. Generation Hyper-heuristics approach differently as aiming to generate such heuristics automatically. This work introduces a automated heuristic generation strategy supporting Selection Hyper-heuristics. The generation task is formulated as a selection problem, disclosing the best expected heuristic specifically f or a given problem instance. The heuristic generation process is established as a parameter configuration problem. T he corresponding system is devised by initially generating a training data alongside with a set of basic features characterizing the Protein Structure Prediction problem instances. The data is generated discretizing the parameter configuration space o f a single heuristic. The resulting data is used to predict the best configuration of a specific heuristic used in a heuristic set under Selection Hyper-heuristics. The prediction is performed separately for each instance rather than using one setting for all the instances. The empirical analysis showed that the proposed idea offers both better and robust performance on 22 PSP instances compared to the one-for-all heuristic sets. Additional analysis linked to the selection method, ALORS, revealed insights on what makes the PSP instances hard / easy while providing dis/-similarity analysis between the candidate configurations.","PeriodicalId":255763,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115305720","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}
