Our deep SVM trains an SVM in the standard way and then uses the kernel activations of support vectors as inputs for training another SVM at the next layer. In this way, instead of the normal linear combination of kernel activations, we can create non-linear combinations of kernel activations on prototype examples. Furthermore, we combine different descriptors in an ensemble of deep SVMs where the product rule is used for combining probability estimates of the different classifiers. We have performed experiments on 20 classes from the Caltech object database and 10 classes from the Corel dataset. The results show that our ensemble of deep SVMs significantly outperforms the naive approach that combines all descriptors directly in a very large single input vector for an SVM. Furthermore, our ensemble of D-SVMs achieves an accuracy of 95.2% on the Corel dataset with 10 classes, which is the best performance reported in literature until now.","PeriodicalId":284743,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference of Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123438351","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}

Finding the promising region in the search space is beneficial in optimization problems. However, in the contemporary ES the next generation is produced in a hyper ellipse and the direction to the optimum is not determined correctly. Therefore it is possible that the mutants are produced in unpromising regions which leads to unsatisfactory convergence. To alleviate this deficiency a novel evolution strategy which is inspired by the quantum computing is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm which is called quantum-inspired evolution strategy (QES) can improve the convergence speed and the accuracy by modifying the mutation direction. To demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method, several experiments on a set of numerical optimization problems are carried out. The results show that QES is superior to conventional ES in terms of convergence speed, accuracy and robustness.","PeriodicalId":284743,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference of Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117125957","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}

There has been an increasing trend among researchers to move beyond generalized recognizer particularly for addressing complex recognition tasks. However, the existing works mainly focus on univariate process cases. This paper aims to investigate an effective synergistic-ANN model for on-line monitoring and diagnosis multivariate process patterns.

Since initializing of non-linear learning’s parameters is crucial in RBF networks’ learning, some unsupervised learning methods such as, K-means clustering and Fuzzy C-means clustering are used besides random initialization.

Recently due to the vast improvement in machine learning and pattern recognition methods many computer scientists have applied these methods to solve this problem. However, protein folding problem is much more complicated than ordinary machine learning problems because of its natural complexity imposed by the high dimensionality of feature space and diversity of different protein fold classes. To deal with such a challenging problem, we use an ensemble classifier model by applying MLP and RBF Neural Networks and Bayesian ensemble method. Also we have used the Laplace estimation method in order to smooth confusion matrices of the base classifiers. Experimental results imply that RBF Neural Network holds better Correct Classification Rate (CCR) compared to other common classification methods such as MLP networks. Our experiments also show that the Bayesian fusion method can improve the correct classification rate of proteins up to 20% with the final CCR of 59% by reducing both bias and variance error of the RBF classifiers, on a benchmark dataset containing 27 SCOP folds.","PeriodicalId":284743,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference of Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition","volume":"258 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113982724","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}
