In this paper, a new supervised DR algorithm called local intraclass variation preserving LDA (LIPLDA) is proposed. We also show that the proposed algorithm can be extended to non-linear DR scenarios by applying the kernel trick.","PeriodicalId":368964,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116015679","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}

Labeled spam instances, however, are very difficult, expensive, or time consuming to obtain, as they require the efforts of experienced human annotators. Meanwhile unlabeled samples are relatively easy to collect. Semi-supervised learning addresses the classification problem by using large amount of unlabeled data, together with the labeled data, to build better classifiers. This paper proposes two new semi-supervised learning algorithms to boost the performance of Web spam classifiers. The algorithms integrate the traditional co-training with the topological dependency based hyperlink learning. The proposed methods extend our previous work on self-training based semi-supervised Web spam detection. The experimental results with 100/200 labeled samples on the standard WEBSPAM-UK2006 benchmark showed that the algorithms are effective.","PeriodicalId":368964,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132258135","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}

Among the techniques to reduce the noise effect, cepstral mean-and-variance normalization (CMVN) is a simple yet quite effective approach for processing MFCC speech features. However, the features processed by CMVN contain a significant number of outliers, which very likely weakens the effect of CMVN. This paper primarily proposes to deal with the outliers left by CMVN with two directions. The first one is to apply a sigmoid function transformation, which provides explicit lower and upper bounds for the outliers, and the second one exploits the well-known median filter to remove the impulse-like outliers in the CMVN features. Under the Aurora-2 digit recognition database and task, the presented two frameworks give rise to around 5% in absolute accuracy improvement in comparison with CMVN, and the corresponding word error rate reduction relative to the MFCC baseline is as high as 50%.","PeriodicalId":368964,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134435824","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}

FCM models contain nodes (representing the concepts to be modelled) and directed weighted edges (representing the causal relations between the concepts). Data-driven FCM learning algorithms are an objective approach with the potential to discover the causal relations that are unknown to human experts. Learning FCM from data can be a difficult problem because the size of the solution space grows quadratically with the number of nodes in the FCM models. A data-driven learning algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is proposed to develop Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs). The FCM models can be isomorphically represented as weight vectors. The objective function is to minimize the difference between the estimated response of the FCM model and the target response observed from the to-be-modelled system. An ACO algorithm with heuristic information is proposed to find the best FCM model. The performance of the ACO algorithm was tested on both randomly generated data and DREAM4 project data (publicly available in-silico gene expression data). The experiment results show that the ACO algorithm is able to learn FCMs with at least 40 nodes.","PeriodicalId":368964,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134518438","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 propose a new bottom-up visual saliency detection method after analyzing the weakness of the frequency tuned saliency detection method. The proposed method uses the YCbCr color space to present the image and computes the Mahalanobis distance between the pixel and the image mean for each color channel or feature. Then the weights of all features are evaluated and used to produce the final saliency map in the process of feature fusion. Our method is easier to implement and is computationally efficient. We compare our approach to five state-of-the-art saliency detection methods using publicly available ground truth. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect salient regions and outperforms the other five methods in both qualitative and quantitative terms.","PeriodicalId":368964,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133091856","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}
