The discipline derives cognitive complexity on a basis of fundamental software factors i.e. inputs, outputs, and internal processing architecture. The invention of Cognitive Functional Size (CFS) stands out as the breakthrough to software complexity measures. Several subsequent research has tried to enhance CFS to fully consider more factors, such as information contents in the form of identifiers and operators. However, these existing approaches quantify the factors separately without considering the relationships among them. This paper presents an approach to integrating Granular Computing into the new measure called Structured Cognitive Information Measure or SCIM. The proposed measure unifies and re-organizes complexity factors analogous to human cognitive process. Empirical studies were conducted to evaluate the virtue of SCIM, including theoretical validation through nine Weyuker's properties. The universal applicability of granular computing concepts is also demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":420853,"journal":{"name":"2009 8th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132038792","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}

There are many methods for feature selection available, in which the feature selection method based on mutual information proposed by authors of Ref.[13] is one of the more effective approaches. However, it is often difficult to compute the mutual information for the continuous data whether using discretization strategy or directly employing density estimation method(e.g., Parzen windows). So, in this paper, we propose a novel model for feature selection by mutual information guided by clustering(MIC_FS). According to MIC_FS, a novel algorithm for feature selection(AMICFS) is introduced. In newly developed algorithm AMICFS, the mutual information between two features can be directly induced by the unsupervised fuzzy c-means clustering, and meanwhile the significance of features and the relevancy between features are simultaneously considered, hence a more effectively ranked feature list can be efficiently obtained in most cases. The experiments on 6 real-life benchmark datasets show that AMICFS is better or comparable as compared to Fisher Score.","PeriodicalId":420853,"journal":{"name":"2009 8th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126157980","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 genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal values of input attributes (chromosome), Xm, which maximize the output function ϕk of output node k. The function ϕk is nonlinear exponential function. The optimal chromosome is decoded and used to obtain a rule belonging to class k.

The technique is based on the variance fractal dimension trajectory (VFDT) algorithm that is used not only to detect the external boundaries of an utterance, but also its internal pauses representing the unvoiced speech. The VFDT algorithm can also amplify internal features of phonemes. This fractal feature amplification is accomplished when the time increments are selected in a dyadic manner rather than selecting the increments in a unit distance sequence. These amplified trajectories for different phonemes are more distinct, thus providing a better characterization of the individual segments in the speech signal. This approach is superior to other energy-based boundary-detection techniques. These observations are based on extensive experimental results on speech utterances digitized at 44.1 kilosamples per second, with 16 bits in each sample.","PeriodicalId":420853,"journal":{"name":"2009 8th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117262201","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}
