However in many cases the statistics is not effective enough. In the paper we consider combining statistical inference with clustering in the preprocessing phase of data analysis. The proposed methodology is checked on cardiovascular data and used for developing methods of early diagnosis of hypertension in children. Experiments, conducted on the real data, have demonstrated that the proposed hybrid approach allowed to discover relationships which have not been identified by using only the statistical methods. We have observed approximately 30% growth in the number of correlations between diagnosed attributes. Moreover all the obtained statistically significant dependencies were stronger in clusters rather than in the whole datasets.","PeriodicalId":276884,"journal":{"name":"2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116344209","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}

The applied approach intuitively mimics a human way of recognition that relies on merging already found connectors into more complex ones. This procedure is modeled by our method where simple and obvious connectors and gradually extended to more complex structures. Each iteration may lead to modification of connectors set obtained so far. The modifications are managed by a rules set describing logical and graphical constraints that should be satisfied by the connectors structure. If the extension leads to violation of constraints defined by the rules then the modification is not carried out. In this way, the recognized diagram structure is consistent with the assumed principles. The method was experimentally validated using the set of diagrams from three domains. In conclusions, method's advantages and drawbacks are discussed.","PeriodicalId":276884,"journal":{"name":"2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121421052","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}

Solving these equations correspond to a nonsmooth and nonlinear optimization problem. Recently a globally convergent Newton Schur method was proposed for the non-linear Schur complement corresponding to this 2 × 2 non-linear system. The proposed method is similar to an inexact active set method in the sense that the active sets are first identified by solving a quadratic obstacle problem corresponding to the (1, 1) block of the 2 × 2 system, and later solving a reduced linear system by annihilating the rows and columns corresponding to identified active sets. For solving the quadratic obstacle problem, various optimal multi-grid like methods have been proposed. However solving the reduced system remains a major bottleneck. In this paper, we explore an effective preconditioner for the reduced linear system that allows solving large scale optimization problem corresponding to Cahn-Hilliard and to possibly similar models.","PeriodicalId":276884,"journal":{"name":"2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123670735","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}

{"title":"Visual detection of objects by mobile agents using CBVIR techniques of low complexity","authors":"A. Sluzek","doi":"10.15439/2015F85","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15439/2015F85","url":null,"abstract":"Visual search for objects of interest in complex environment is an important (and still challenging) problem in mobile robotics. In particular, the usage of content-based visual information retrieval (CBVIR) methods, which are a natural choice for such tasks, is often constrained by the real-time requirements, and the mobility of searching agents is sometimes not sufficiently exploited in the search model. In this paper, a CBVIR-based scheme is proposed, which takes into account motion of the searching agents to achieve a low-cost and high-speed detection of objects of interest in cluttered scenes, with good overall performances. We combine standard CBVIR tools, i.e. MSER detector and SIFT descriptor (quantized into sufficiently large vocabularies) assuming additionally that objects become objects of interest only when approached closely enough by the mobile agent, i.e. when seen at an adequately large scale. Thus, an object of interest is considered detected only if a sufficient number of keypoints from the current video-frame are matched (including the corresponding matches of scales) to the keypoints from the database images of the object. Preliminary experiments on a limited-size dataset confirm performances of the scheme, although in the classical task of video-frame retrieval the scheme cannot compete with more sophisticated CBVIR algorithms. The scheme can prospectively become more flexible if combined with a range-finding device so that the approximate distances to the scene components within the currently inspected part of the image can be used to proportionally modify the scale correspondences.","PeriodicalId":276884,"journal":{"name":"2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126908247","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}
