In this paper, after preprocessing and windowing procedure by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), EEG signal is decomposed to five brain rhythms. These rhythms are formed to 2D pattern by upsampling idea. We have proposed a novel scenario for feature extraction that is called Singular Lorenz Measures Method (SLMM). In our method, by Chan's Singular Value Decomposition (Chan's SVD) in two phases including of QR factorization and Golub-Kahan-Reinsch algorithm, the singular values as energies of the signal on orthogonal space for pattern of rhythms in all windows are obtained. The Lorenz curve as a depiction of Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of singular values set is computed. With regard to the relative inequality measures, the Lorenz inconsistent and consistent features are extracted. Moreover, the hybrid approach of K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Scatter Search (SS) is applied as optimization algorithm. The Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network is also optimized on the hidden layer and learning algorithm. The optimal selected attributes using the optimized MLP classifier are employed to recognize the seizure attack. Ultimately, the seizure and non-seizure signals are classified in offline mode with accuracy rate of 90.0% and variance of MSE 1.47×10-4.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126088544","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 the problem of segmentation of color images, especially noisy images, is studied. In order to improve the speed of segmentation and avoid redundant calculations, our method only uses two color components, hue and intensity, which are chosen rationally. These two color components are combined in a specially defined cost function. The impact of each color component (hue and intensity) is controlled by weights (called hue weight and intensity weight). These weights lead to focusing on the color component that is more informative and consequently the speed and accuracy of segmentation is improved. We have also used entropy maximization in the core of the cost function to improve the performance of segmentation. Furthermore we have suggested a fast initialization scheme based on peak finding of two dimensional histogram that prevents Fuzzy C-means from converging to a local minimum. Our experiments indicate that the proposed method performs superior to some related state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128918108","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}

On the contrary, for image segments with low detail we decrease the overlap between patches and increase the patch size.

Regarding the intrinsic hardness of the problem, during last decades several computational methods mainly based on artificial intelligence have been proposed to approach the problem. In this paper we broke the main process of PSP into two steps. The first step is making a bias in the sequence, i.e. providing a very fast yet considerably better energy of conformation compared to the primary sequence with zero energy. The second step, which is studied in the other essay, is feeding this biased sequence to another algorithm to find the best possible conformation. For the first step, we developed a new heuristic method to find a low-energy structure of a protein. The main concept of this method is based on rule extraction from previously determined conformations. We'll call this method Fast-Bias-Algorithm (FBA) mainly because it provides a modified structure with better energy from a primary (linear) structure of a protein in a remarkably short time, comparing to the time needed for the whole process. This method was implemented in Netlogo. We have tested this algorithm on several benchmark sequences ranging from 20 to 50-mers in two dimensional Hydrophobic Hydrophilic lattice models. Comparing with the result of the other algorithms, our method in less than 2% of their time reached up to 62% of the energy of their best conformation.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123696539","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}

But the so-called noise in the market usually results in overtrading and loss of profit. In order to reduce the effect of noise on the trading decisions, high level representations can be used for the output of the trading systems. But the technical indicators which act as the inputs of the trading system, suffer from these short term irregularities as well. This paper suggests a high level representation for the technical indicators to match the level of information in the outputs. Digital low pass filters are carefully designed to remove the transient fluctuations of the technical indicators without losing too much information.

On the other hand, considering the complexity and delay of separate blocks for coding and encryption, if these processes are combined, the security and reliability of communication system are guaranteed. In this paper a secure decoding algorithm in parallel on General-Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) is proposed. This is the first prototype of a fast and parallel Joint Channel-Security Coding (JCSC) system. Despite of encryption process, this algorithm maintains desired BER and increases decoding speed. We considered several techniques for parallelism: (1) distribute decoding load of a code word between multiple cores, (2) simultaneous decoding of several code words, (3) using protection techniques to prevent performance degradation. We also propose two kinds of optimizations to increase the decoding speed: (1) memory access improvement, (2) the use of new GPU properties such as concurrent kernel execution and advanced atomics to compensate buffering latency.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122526392","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}
