We have implemented algorithms for Topic Modeling, Entity Extraction and Sentiment Classification with a view to draw sociologically relevant inferences from freeform unstructured social media data. Our experimental data comprised of more than 600 blog posts on the broader theme of `Discrimination, Abuse and Sexual Crime against Women' collected during two discrete time periods. We have tried to extract some important inferences from the data such as key persons and organizations mentioned in the data, key themes encountered in the entire data collection, sentiment orientation inherent in the texts and variation in topic trends during the two discrete time periods. The results obtained are very interesting and validate the usefulness of our approach for computational analysis of social media data.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126197677","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}

We prove that the function providing the output of the above considered Larsen type fuzzy system is capable of approximating any continuous function. Also, it is continuously differentiable under very relaxed conditions as e.g. continuous differentiability of the antecendents except at their core, and continuous differentiability of the consequences of fuzzy rules except at their core and the enpoints of their support. We show practical examples regarding the approximation and smoothness of the Larsen type operators, showing also by an example that the conditions on the antecedent part cannot be in general weakened further without loosing continuous differentiability. The present paper provides a theoretical background for claims in literature stating that the output of a fuzzy control system of this type is smooth.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"9 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127323478","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}

This paper presents the implementation of a remotely accessible collection of solar energy programs for determining electrical characteristics and Maximum Power Point (MPP) tracking of a Photovoltaic (PV) module. Two remote communication technologies have been used for this purpose: the LabVIEW Web Services and the LabVIEW Remote Panels. However, since the proposed experiments include complex instrumentation control and monitoring, there are some factors which need to be considered when deciding which solution is more reliable. An evaluation of these approaches has been discussed with the purpose of emphasizing encountered advantages and disadvantages. In either case, the user will be able to benefit from accurate measurement results and to achieve the proposed learning objectives.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130176699","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}

Consequently, methods that are capable of boosting the classification accuracy on the minority class are sought after. In this paper, we propose an improved ensemble approach for imbalanced classification. Our algorithm is based on undersampling of the majority class to create balanced object subspaces, on which individual classifiers are trained. As not all generated classifiers will be useful for the ensemble construction, we carry out a pruning procedure to discard irrelevant models. This classifier selection is based on a diversity measure to identify mutually complementary classifiers. The remaining predictors are combined using a trained fuser based on discriminants. Extensive experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate our proposed method to adequately address class imbalance and to (statistically) outperform several state-of-the-art classifier ensembles dedicated to imbalanced classification.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122489869","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}

These parameters quantifies very different conditions of the patient: pain - a very subjective parameter; the calories consumed in one day - measurable value; biomechanical parameters like range of motion in lumbar spine and postural angle - measurable parameter. These parameters have to be interconnected and therefore recordings before and after surgery and treatment have to be made. The interconnection of those represents a challenging task that requires a large patient's database from which the statistics can be computed.
