Accurate travel time prediction can help these companies make better planning and task scheduling. For several reasons, most companies are not able to obtain traffic flow data from traffic management authorities, but a large amount of trajectory data were collected everyday which has not been fully utilised. In this study, we aim to fill this gap and performed travel time predictions for freight vehicles at individual level using Gradient Boosting Regression Tree (GBRT) models. All the features were extracted or composed from vehicles' temporally sparse trajectory data. Three routes were selected for the prediction experiments. Bayesian optimisation was adopted for model fitting while the results show that both pre-start (before trip starts) and post-start (after trip starts) predictions accuracies reach above 80%. The results also show that the prediction performance can be gradually improved by adding more mean speed estimates of traveled distance from the first 5 minutes as the real-time information. And the prediction performance can be further improved by about 2% by adding more mean speed estimates even if an unusual and non-recurring events occurred at a location of a route segment. This study shows the feasibility of both pre-start and continuous post-start prediction with limited amount of temporally sparse trajectory data for real-world practice.","PeriodicalId":356182,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133824363","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}

Specifically, a cooperative ensemble training strategy using two optimization algorithms is proposed to train a Neural Network model. The trained model is characterized with good forecasting performance due to the exchange of experience and knowledge of the two optimization algorithm during the training process. A dataset consisting of 44160 recordings of hourly High-Speed Data Packet Access (HSDPA) data traffic, which was collected over a period of 30 days from sixty different sites of a UMTS-based cellular operator was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Experimental results show the superiority of the Neural Network model trained with the proposed ensemble training strategy over other state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":356182,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130344455","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}

High versus low workload levels were predicted for day five of the study based on training three traditional classifiers–Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), random forest, and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)–on the first four days' results. Frequency-domain power distribution variance was statistically significant between conditions, suggesting it as a salient feature. Including variance as a feature enabled a crossday workload classification accuracy improvement of 5.8% above models only using mean power.

This results in errors and inefficiencies in port operations. The problem of automatic container identification and recognition is challenging as the ISO standard only prescribes the pattern of the code and does not specify other parameters such as the foreground and background colors, font type and size, orientation of characters (horizontal or vertical) so on. Additionally, the corrugated surface of container body makes the two dimensional projection of the text on three dimensional containers slanted and jagged. We propose a solution in the form of an end-to-end pipeline that uses Region Proposals generated based on Connected Components for text detection in conjunction with Spatial Transformer Networks for text recognition. We demonstrate via our experimental results that the pipeline is reliable and robust even in situations when the code characters are highly distorted and outperforms the state-of-the-art results for text detection and recognition over the containers.

While several types of tampering including copy-move and seam carving forgery can now be successfully exposed in image forensics, there has been very little study to tackle inpainting forgery in JPEG images, the detection of which is extremely challenging due to the post-recompression attacks performed to cover or compromise original inpainting traces. To date, there is no effective way to detect inpainting image forgery under combined recompression attacks. To fill such a gap in image forensics and reveal inpainting forgery from the post-recompression attacks in JPEG images, we propose in this paper an approach that begins with large feature mining in discrete transform domain, ensemble learning is then applied to deal with the high feature dimensionality and to prevent the overfitting that generally happens to some regular classifiers under high feature dimensions. Our study shows the proposed approach effectively exposes inpainting forgery under post recompression attacks, especially, it noticeably improves the detection accuracy while the recompression quality is lower than the original JPEG image quality, and thus bridges a gap in image forgery detection.","PeriodicalId":356182,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130957769","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}
