Drawing inspiration from the idea of electrical potentials, we develop a classifier based on a set of synthesised potential fields over the domain of input space using symmetrical functions (kernels). We propose a multilayer, multiclass potential function generators classifier (POFGEC) utilising growing architecture and a training algorithm to sequentially add potential functions created by the training patterns, if the addition improves the NN classification performance. We also present a pruning algorithm to achieve compact architecture. POFGEC incorporates the electrical potentials concept in the two main neural net building blocks: potential function generators (PFGs) and potential function entities (PFEs), which perform a non-linear transformation of the input data and create the decision rules by constructing the cumulative potential functions and adjusting the weights. The implementation of the presented method with several datasets demonstrates its capabilities in generating classification solutions for datasets of various shapes independent from the number of predefined classes. We also offer substantial comparative analysis with other known approaches in order to fully illustrate the capabilities of the proposed method and its relation with other existing techniques.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Several detection methods of ECG parameters for a particular disease have also been reported in the literature. But little effort has been made by researchers to combine both. In this work, an integrated model of rule base system for generating cases and ANN methods for matching cases in the case base reasoning model for the interpretation and diagnosis of sinus disturbances (SD) is developed. The SD is hierarchically structured in terms of their physio-psycho parameters and ECG based parameters. Cumulative confidence factor (CCF) is computed at different nodes of hierarchy. The SD considered are sinus arrest, sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia and sinus arrhythmia. MIT/BIH ECG database is used in the simulation study. The basic objective of this work is to enhance the computational effort with certain level of efficiency and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Eng.

In fuzzy c-medoids (FCMdd), cluster prototypes are selected from data samples and clustering criteria are calculated by using only mutual distances among samples. Then, it is applicable to relational data clustering. This paper proposes an extended FCMdd approach for linear fuzzy clustering of relational data, which uses multiple representative objects (medoids) for representing prototypes. In the algorithm, new prototype is given by solving a combinatorial optimisation problem for searching medoids and the computational complexity is reduced by searching only from a subset of objects having large membership values. The information summarisation approach can be regarded as a multicluster-type multidimensional scaling for summarising data in multiple low-dimensional feature spaces.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Although, a number of combiners exist in the literature, they do not provide consistently good performance on different datasets. In this scenario: 1) we propose an effective multiple classifier system (MCS) based on NFC that fuses the output of a set of fuzzy classifiers; 2) conduct an extensive experimental analysis to justify the effectiveness of the proposed NFC. In the proposed technique, we used a neural network to combine the output of a set of fuzzy classifiers using the principles of neuro-fuzzy hybridisation. The neural combiner adaptively learns its parameters depending on the input data, and thus the output is robust. Superiority of the proposed combiner has been demonstrated experimentally on five standard datasets and two remote sensing images. It performed consistently better than the existing combiners over all the considered datasets.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Eng.

VOCALOID is an application to realise that aim. By inputting lyrics and melody, users can make songs sung by the computer. In order to make the singing voice sound more human, users must control frequency curve very carefully. Compared with inputting lyrics or melody, this controlling presents heavy overhead for users. In this research, we propose a system for easily optimising frequency curves with Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC). We compared various frequency models by evaluating the convergence performance of GA to fit one of the frequency curves of real human singing, and found a suitable one for achieving our goal. And we made a questionnaire to compare previous interfaces and our IEC interface. From the results of this survey, we found our IEC interface can optimise frequency curve more easily than previous interfaces.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Eng.

In other words, it was investigated whether the important driving information in the right and left peripheral visual fields can be recognized faster using tactile warning system as compared with auditory warning system. The participants were required to simultaneously carry out a tracking task (main task), a switch pressing task such as selection of light-on function, and a judgment task of important information which randomly appeared to the right or left peripheral visual field. The tracking error, the number of lane deviation, the percentage correct of switch pressing, and the response time to right and left peripheral stimulus were measured. It was examined how age, the modality of alarm presentation (no alarm, auditory, and tactile), the addition of direction in alarm presentation, and the existence of disturbance sound, and the location of tactile sensor (steering or foot) affected the measures above. The young adults performed better than older adults. The response time was not affected by the modality of alarm presentation, and the disturbance sound. The\u0000addition of direction of alarm presentation affected the performance. The tactile sensor attached to the foot led to faster response than that attached to the steering wheel.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Eng.

The state of eye movement before saccade was either smooth pursuit or fixation. The smooth pursuit was carried out both clockwise and counter-clockwise. Using an eye-tracking system, the eye movement during the experimental task was monitored. The response time to a stimulus was measured. On the basis of the eye movement data (coordinate), the eye movement velocity, the eye movement acceleration, and the latency of eye movement were obtained. When smooth pursuit was carried out before saccade, the response to a stimulus which appears as a result of saccade was faster. More concretely, the response time of smooth pursuit condition was faster than that of fixation condition. The latency of the smooth pursuit condition tended to be faster than that of the fixation condition. Some implications for the application of the results to the traffic safety or automotive ergonomics were given.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Eng.

This paper proposes a new method for dealing with imbalanced data sets by over-sampling the borderline minority class instances. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is then trained to predict future instances. Compared with other over-sampling methods, the proposed method focuses only on the minority class instances residing along the decision boundary, due to the fact that this region is the most crucial for establishing the decision boundary. Furthermore, the artificial minority instances are generated in such a way that the regions of the minority class with fewer majority class instances would be expanded by extrapolation, otherwise the current boundary of the minority class would be consolidated by interpolation. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a better performance than other over-sampling methods.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Eng.

This is an aspect of the curse of dimensionality issue. A traditional approach is based on representing the data in a suitable similarity space instead of the original high-dimensional attribute space. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem using the projection of data onto a so-called membership embedding space obtained by using the memberships of data points on fuzzy sets centred on some prototypes. This approach can increase the efficiency of the popular fuzzy C-means method in the presence of high-dimensional datasets, as we show in an experimental comparison. We also present a constructive method for prototypes selection based on simulated annealing that is viable for semi-supervised clustering problems.","PeriodicalId":347123,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.
