In many real applications, observations are taken sequentially over time, or can be ordered with respect to some other criterion. The basic question, therefore, is whether the data obtained are generated by one or by many different probabilistic mechanisms. Change-point problems arise in a wide variety of fields, including biomedical signal processing, speech and image processing, climatology, industry (e.g. fault detection) and financial mathematics. In this paper, we apply the Cross-Entropy method to a sequential change-point problem. We obtain estimates for thresholds in the Shiryaev-Roberts procedure and the CUSUM procedure. We provide examples with generated sequences to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach to the problem.","PeriodicalId":343718,"journal":{"name":"11th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123813920","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}

Testing phase calculates accuracy of the classifier based on predetermined set of labelled images. This paper analyse performance of texture descriptors combined with SVMs, in the case when test dataset contains images not belonging to any predetermined class. A robustness of texture descriptors on outsiders is analysed, to see if descriptor is able to separate outsiders in specific class. Medical dataset containing various radiology images is used for testing. It was shown that it is possible to separate images not belonging to any class with cost of decreased performance by few percent.","PeriodicalId":343718,"journal":{"name":"11th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122586636","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}

In this paper, we have proposed the novel approach to construct an acceleration-enhanced (AE) filter that is comprised of two independent adaptive channels. The filters use the adapted position and adapted acceleration, together with a weight factor to provide prediction for respiratory motion. The proposed AE approach is universal and can be applied to the different filters. The performances of the adaptive normalized least mean square (nLMS) filter, the artificial neural network (ANN) filter, and their AE counterparts were compared for respiratory motion prediction during normal and irregular respiration. The results revealed that the adaptive ANN and nLMS filters were successful to perform predictions for normal and irregular respiration, respectively. AE filters showed more accurate prediction than their conventional counterparts. Implementing the AE approach, it was observed that the AE-ANN filter had the best performance in the prediction of normal respiratory motion, whereas the AE-nLMS filter excelled in the prediction of irregular respiratory motion.","PeriodicalId":343718,"journal":{"name":"11th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129243850","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 proposes a classification tool using committee machines consisting of multilayered perceptron neural networks (MLP) to identify the author of a text. Each expert is an individual MLP learning complex input-output relation composed of 14 lexical, stylometric attributes extracted from the corpus. The resulting mapping after training is used to identify the texts in German language written by two different authors. Unlike other committee based classification tools individual answers of the experts are combined with a novel voting method, k-nearest neighbors rated voting. The proposed method shows very promising results when benchmarked with simple majority voting technique.","PeriodicalId":343718,"journal":{"name":"11th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130619846","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}

For this purpose classifier for skin detection is used. Next stage has to generate feature vectors, which are used as inputs in neural network. Supervised training of neural network is performed.
