Compared with the static momentum, the dynamic momentum is simultaneously obtained by the learning process of pattern weight and reflected into different momentum by the current state. Therefore, the proposed dynamic momentum algorithm can effectively control the convergence rate and performance. The experiment using SONAR data shows that the proposed algorithm has better convergence rate and performance than the kernel relaxation using static momentum.","PeriodicalId":274073,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'04)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127126062","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}

Polymorphic (or variant versions of) computer viruses are more complex and difficult than their original versions to detect, often requiring antivirus companies to spend much time to create the routines needed to catch them. In this paper, we propose a new approach for detecting polymorphic malware in the Windows platform. Our approach rests on an analysis based on the Windows API calling sequence that reflects the behavior of a piece of particular code. The analysis is carried out directly on the PE (portable executable) code. It is achieved in two major steps: construct the API calling sequences for both the known virus and the suspicious code, and perform a similarity measurement between the two sequences after a sequence realignment operation is done. Favorable experimental results are obtained and presented.","PeriodicalId":274073,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'04)","volume":"202 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132325450","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}

Nevertheless, ILP systems are not robust enough to noisy or unseen data in real world domains. Furthermore, in multiclass problems, if the example is not matched with any learned rules, it cannot be classified. This paper presents a novel hybrid learning method to alleviate this restriction by enabling neural networks to handle first-order logic programs directly. The proposed method, called first-order logical neural network (FOLNN), is based on feedforward neural networks and integrates inductive learning from examples and background knowledge. We also propose a method for determining the appropriate variable substitution in FOLNN learning by using multiple-instance learning (MIL). In the experiments, the proposed method has been evaluated on two first-order learning problems, i.e., the finite element mesh design and mutagenesis and compared with the state-of-the-art, the PROGOL system. The experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than PROGOL.","PeriodicalId":274073,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'04)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126026235","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}

Behavior modelling and characterization are performed online, given that a number of observations are made or sensed at regular time intervals with respect to each player. A key element of this hierarchical behavior modeling system architecture is a new formulation of multiple hidden Markov models (HMM) with discrete densities operating in parallel, with each HMM accepting a single feature-related observation sequence. However the proposed classification approach recognizes the existence of possible dependencies between the observation sequences of the features obtained for a given player. This property is effectively exploited in a new dependent-multiHMM with discrete densities (DM-HMM-D) classification approach. The proposed methodology is applied in modeling the behavior of aircrafts operating in relatively simple 3D \"air-patrol\" situations. Computer simulation results demonstrate the significant gains that can be obtained in system classification and modeling performance when compared to those obtained while using conventional independent-multidiscrete hidden Markov model (IM-HMM-D) schemes.","PeriodicalId":274073,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'04)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122596649","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 provides a logical analysis of deception, which classifies recognition of deception into knowledge-based deception recognition, inference-based deception recognition, and hybrid deception recognition. It will examine the relationship between EBR and fraud as well as deception. It uses EBR to recognize fraud and deception in e-commerce and MAS.

As a main target for Zamin's design has been its expandability and ease of problem definition, a new agent based structure for this artificial world is introduced in this paper, which is believed to be much easier to use and extend. In this new model, all control and world running processes are done by agents. Therefore, any change in world processes does not require recoding the main engine and can be done just by altering the behavior of one or some agents. To have an easier interface for the design of new organisms, all creatures' communications with the world level is done through a common message map, thus, a designer just needs to code the required parts and append them to the main system to process the necessary messages. And at last, extending the model can be done with much less effort, as it can be done easily by creating new agents that handle the new tasks. This model is implemented and some coding differences with previous model are presented.","PeriodicalId":274073,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'04)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133780731","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}
