A PNL mixing system includes two stages: a linear mixing followed by a nonlinear transformation. In our method, the process to linearize the nonlinear observed signals, the most critical task in PNL model, is carried out by a geometric transformation. The basic idea is that in a multi-dimensional space, a PNL mixture is represented by a nonlinear surface while a linear mixture is represented by a plane. Thus, by transforming a PNL's representing nonlinear surface to a plane, the PNL mixture can be linearized. The hidden sources are then estimated from linearized signals by a linear BSS algorithm. Experiments show promising performance of our approach.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134369497","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}

Differences in strain waveforms between normal and diseased myocardium may further elucidate the corresponding changes in physiology. Altered functioning of the heart muscle is reflected by strain, and objective computer analysis should aid in the diagnosis of ischemia. We hypothesize that the entire strain waveform over one heart cycle can be classified to functionally determine whether or not a myocardial region is perfused.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131602624","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}

A critical example of such a situation is seen in face recognition, where many technologies are already intensively used for passport verification and where there is no technology that can reliably identify a person from a surveillance video. The reason for this is that video provides images of much lower quality and resolution than that of photographs. Besides, objects in video are normally captured in unconstrained environments, often under poor lighting, in motion and at a distance. This makes memorization of an object from a single video frame unreliable and recognition based on a single video frame very difficult if even possible. This paper introduces a neuro-associative approach to recognition which can both learn and identify an object from low-resolution low-quality video sequences. This approach is derived from a mathematical model of biological visual memory, in which correlation-based projection learning is used to memorize a face from a video sequence and attractor-based association is performed to recognize a face over several video frames. The approach is demonstrated using a video-based facial database and real-time video annotation of TV shows.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117327153","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 order to reduce the training time, we propose principal component analysis as a dimension reduction technique. We used an MLP with LM learning algorithm and a RBF neural network (RBFNN) with K-means algorithm to cluster the data. Both the ANNs are used in a neural adaptive line enhancer (NALE) configuration. Extensive computer simulations showed the combination of PCA and ANNs gives satisfactory results with significant reduction in training time.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"435 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131222276","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 suggests an application of a FIR neural network and a fuzzy clustering-based model to evaluate one-step and multi-step ahead predictions. Results are compared to the ones obtained by a periodic autoregressive model (PAR). It is interesting to apply a recurrent neural network for prediction task due to its ability for temporal processing and efficiency to solve nonlinear problems.

Based on the simulation study on chaotic data from Chua's circuit, it is shown that the ESN is a non-minimum state space realization of the target time series, and the initial state can be freely chosen in the training process, and in the phase of prediction, ESN needs to know where the prediction begins by being set a proper initial state through a process of teacher forcing.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127651808","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}
