Various burst detection methods have been proposed. However, they are not effective for real-time detection. This work proposes a new burst detection method that reduces computation by avoiding redundant data updates. It analyses an event on its occurrence, and detects the period where arrival frequency rises rapidly to the previous period. In addition, it reduces computation by suppressing data within a certain period even in the case of emergent increase of events. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by experiments with real data.","PeriodicalId":332661,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121347129","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 proposed model approximates image regions by probability density functions and uses a supervised approach in the segmentation process. The strategy of the proposed model is to perform two-phase Fuzzy Region Competition model several times, where a hard partition is obtained in each round from the determined fuzzy membership function. Consequently, the segmentation process is soft, while the final result is hard, given the simplicity of avoiding non-overlapping and vacuum regions. The proposed model was validated using multiphase images, which showed to be robust under the presence of noise and presented good accuracy when dealing with texturized and natural images.","PeriodicalId":332661,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"341 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122272832","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 describes a framework that allows agents to learn by observation in such environments. When learning by observation, agents observe an expert performing a task and learn to perform the same task based on those observations. Our framework aims to allow agents to learn in a variety of domains (physical or virtual) regardless of the behaviour or goals of the observed expert. To achieve this we ensure that there is a clear separation between the central reasoning system and any domain-specific information. We present case studies in the domains of obstacle avoidance, robotic arm control, simulated soccer and Tetris.","PeriodicalId":332661,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121587389","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}

Indeed, Digital media technology generates huge amount of non-textual information. Categorizing this information is a challenging task which has served important applications. An important part of this nontextual information is composed of images and videos which consists of various objects each of which may be used to effectively classify the images or videos. Object classification in computer vision can be looked upon from several different perspectives. From the structural perspective object classification models can be divided into flat and hierarchical models. Many of the well-known hierarchical structures proposed so far are based on the Dirichlet distribution. In this work, however, we present a generative hierarchical statistical model based on generalized Dirichlet distribution for the categorization of visual objects modeled as a set of local features describing patches detected using interest points detector. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model through extensive experiments.","PeriodicalId":332661,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129983394","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 implement ConArg, we have used JaCoP, a Java library which provides the user with a Finite Domain Constraint Programming paradigm, to model and solve these two problems.

Vibration signals from the turbine hold a wealth of information regarding its state, and detecting changes in these signals is crucial to the timely detection of faults. Wavelet transforms provide a means of analyzing these complex signals and extracting features which are representative of the signal. Feature selection techniques are needed once these wavelet features are extracted to eliminate redundant or useless features before the data is presented to a machine learning algorithm for pattern recognition and classification. This reduces the quantity of data to be processed and can often even increase the machine learner's ability to detect the current state of the machine. This paper empirically compares eight feature selection algorithms on wavelet transformed vibration data originating from an onshore test platform for an ocean turbine. A case study shows the classification performances of seven machine learners when trained on the datasets with varying numbers of features selected from the original set of all features. Our results highlight that by choosing an appropriate feature selection technique and applying it to selecting just the 3 most important features (3.33% of the original feature set), some classifiers such as the decision tree and random forest can correctly differentiate between faulty and nonfaulty states almost 100% of the time. These results also show the performance differences between different feature selection algorithms and classifier combinations.","PeriodicalId":332661,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130166587","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}

From this result, we propose an algorithm allowing to solve QCNs of IA.

Several algorithms, belonging to various machine-learning approaches, are selected and run on software data collected from medium size applications. Some of these approaches produce models with very high quantitative performances, others give interpretable, intelligible, and \"glass-box\" models that are very complementary. We consider that the integration of both, in automated decision-making systems for assessing software product quality, is desirable to reach a compromise between performance and intelligibility.","PeriodicalId":332661,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134121146","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}
