With the spatial correspondent assumption, this study presents a prediction approach in which GHSOM is used to help identify the fraud counterpart of each non-fraud subgroup and vice versa. In this study, two GHSOMs-a non-fraud tree (NFT) and a fraud tree (FT) are generated via the non-fraud samples and the fraud samples, respectively. Each (fraud or non-fraud) training sample is classified into its belonging leaf nodes of NFT and FT. Then, two classification rules are tuned based upon all training samples to determine the associated discrimination boundary within each leaf node, and the rule with better classification performance is chosen as the prediction rule. With the spatial correspondent assumption, the prediction rule derived from such an integration of FT and NFT classification mechanisms should work well. This study sets up the experiment of fraudulent financial reporting (FFR), a sub-field of financial fraud detection (FFD), to justify the effectiveness of the proposed prediction approach and the result is quite acceptable.","PeriodicalId":287844,"journal":{"name":"The 2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124885928","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}

Due to the difficulty of reach for sewage pipes, automating pipe inspection has high potential in providing an efficient and objective identification of defects which could lead to damaging the pipe system. A popular approach has been to send remote controlled robots to photograph the pipes and process the images to identify possible defects. However majority of the images contain regular pipe features such as the flow line, pipe joints and pipe connections. Regular features pose a challenge for automated defect detection algorithms which require high processing time. This paper proposes a self organising map based approach to leverage the regularity of image features to isolate regions of interest which could contain defects. As a result, the search space is narrowed down for the defect detection algorithms, decreasing the overall processing time. Novelty of the work lies in the feature extraction and the gradual isolation of the potential defective image features to a manageable size. Therefore, this technique is suitable for large scale real applications. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for a real pipe image data set.","PeriodicalId":287844,"journal":{"name":"The 2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115205891","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 are two basic approaches to build a model - use an analytical modeling technique or use an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based method. However, both the analytical modeling technique and the traditional Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model have some disadvantages. For example, in the analytical model, the influence of irradiance and temperature on some parameters of the photovoltaic module, such as the parallel and series resistance and other uncertainty factors, are not taken into consideration. In the case of the multilayer neural network model, there is a large computational complexity in training the network and in its implementation. In order to overcome these advantages, we propose a CFLNN based model for solar modules. The proposed model not only reduces the complexity of the network due to the absence of hidden layers in the network configuration, but also shows better accuracy over the analytical modeling method. In the experimental section, the operating current predicted by CFLNN is compared with the outputs from other two modeling methods - MLP and the two-diode model. Finally, verification is performed using experimental datasets. The results show that the CFLNN modeling method provides better prediction of the output current compared to the analytical model and has a reduced computational complexity than the traditional MLP model.","PeriodicalId":287844,"journal":{"name":"The 2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122959336","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}

To bridge the gap between low level visual features and high level semantic concepts, various relevance feedback (RF) or interactive re-ranking (IR) schemes have been designed to improve the performance of a CBIR system. In this paper, we propose a novel subspace learning based IR scheme by using a graph embedding framework, termed Laplacian Regularized Subspace Learning (LRSL). The LRSL method can model both within-class compactness and between-class separation by specially designing an intrinsic graph and a penalty graph in the graph embedding framework, respectively. In addition, LRSL can share the popular assumption of the biased discriminant analysis (BDA) for IR but avoid the singular problem in BDA. Extensive experimental results have shown that the proposed LRSL method is effective for reducing the semantic gap and targeting the intentions of users for an image retrieval task.","PeriodicalId":287844,"journal":{"name":"The 2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129558059","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}

Neuroscience has shown that a prediction model in brain, which predicts sensory-feedback from motor command, can divide the sensory-feedback into the self-motion derived feedback and other derived feedback. The prediction model is important for prediction control of the body. Previous studies in robotics of the prediction model assumed that a robot can recognize the position of its body (e.g. its hand) and that the view contains only that body part. In our models, motor commands and visual feedback (pixel image that includes not only a hand but also object and background) are input into a neural network model and then the body area is segmented and prediction model of body is acquired. Our model contains two parts: 1) An object detection model obtains a conversion system between object positions and the pixel image. 2) A movement prediction model predicts hand-object positions from motor commands and identifies the body. We confirmed that our models can segment the body/object area based on their pixel textures and discriminate between them by using prediction error.","PeriodicalId":287844,"journal":{"name":"The 2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128571366","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}
