Novel sensor technologies allow to optimize the training not only for an individual cyclist but also for an entire training group. A sensor-based assisted bicycle trainer (ABT) system with a control algorithm has been developed at the University of Kaiserslautern to optimize the group training in cycling. The focus of this paper is on the development of the control algorithm, a model predictive controller (MPC) for the optimization of the group training. The controller predicts the heart rate of the cyclists based on individualized heart rate models and regulates the group training by advising cyclists to change the position in the group, to adjust the group speed, or to split the group in such a way that each cyclist can meet his training plan as exactly as possible.","PeriodicalId":359991,"journal":{"name":"7th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS 2007)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124920316","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}

Holland in the 1970s, are rule-based evolutionary online learning systems that combine gradient-based rule evaluation with evolutionary-based rule structuring techniques. Since the introduction of the accuracy-based XCS classifier system by Stewart W. Wilson in 1995, LCSs showed to be flexible, online learning methods that are applicable to datamining, reinforcement learning, and function approximation problems. Comparisons showed that performance is competitive with state-of-the art machine learning algorithms, but the learning algorithms applied are usually more flexible and highly adaptive. Moreover, problem knowledge can be extracted easily. This tutorial provides a gentle introduction to LCSs and their general functioning. It then gives further details on the XCS classifier system and highlights various successful applications. In conclusion, promising future directions of LCS research and applications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":359991,"journal":{"name":"7th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS 2007)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129124747","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 detection of individual particles from electron microscopy (EM) micrographs turns into a major labor-intensive bottleneck, when the number of particles needed starts to exceed a few tens of thousand molecular images. Multi-classifier systems have been widely investigated as tools for performing complex classifying tasks. In this work, we investigate the adequacy of using multi-classifier systems to detect particles on electron microscopy micrographs. In order to do so, we compare the performance of five algorithms for generating individual classifiers and three other ones for multi-classifier algorithms. Such results are also compared with others found in the literature. In terms of results, the multi-classifier systems generated show larger accuracy (correct classification) and lower false positive and negative rates.","PeriodicalId":359991,"journal":{"name":"7th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS 2007)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127186467","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}

Recommender systems aim at delivering and suggesting relevant information according to users preferences, thus EPSSs could take advantage of the recommendation algorithms that have the effect of guiding users in a large space of possible options. The JUMP project aims at integrating an EPSS with a hybrid recommender system. Collaborative and content-based filtering are the recommendation techniques most widely adopted to date. The main contribution of this paper is a content- collaborative hybrid recommender which computes similarities between users relying on their content- based profiles, in which user preferences are stored, instead of comparing their rating styles. A distinctive feature of our system is that a statistical model of the user interests is obtained by machine learning techniques integrated with linguistic knowledge contained in WordNet. This model, named \"semantic user profile\", is exploited by the hybrid recommender in the neighborhood formation process.","PeriodicalId":359991,"journal":{"name":"7th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS 2007)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116857903","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 presented method needs a previous pre-processing step to transform mixed symbolic data into modal symbolic data. The dynamic clustering algorithm with adaptive distances has then as input a set of vectors of modal symbolic data (weight distributions) and furnishes a partition and a prototype to each class by optimizing an adequacy criterion that measures the fitting between the clusters and their representatives based on adaptive squared Euclidean distances. Examples with synthetic symbolic data sets and an application with a real symbolic data sets show the usefulness of this method.","PeriodicalId":359991,"journal":{"name":"7th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS 2007)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134159687","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}
