The problem becomes more serious when the events have different costs. Feature weighting and instance weighting are two most common ways to tackle this problem. However, none of the current weighting methods take into account the salience of features. In order to accomplish this, a novel and flexible weighting function is proposed that dynamically assigns a proper weight to each feature. Experiments results show that the proposed weighting function is superior to current methods.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"1 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":"127459612","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 received signal in this environment consists of Line Of Sight (LOS) and multi-path components which are delayed versions of the LOS signal with the amplitude and the phase depending on the path length. In order to eliminate the multi-path signal, it is necessary to estimate the amplitude, the phase, and the delay of the signal. To this end, a method based on correlation which has been already used to estimate amplitudes and delays of Line Of Sight and multi-path signals in GPS systems, is implemented. After this estimation process, a phase estimation algorithm is proposed in order to construct the multi-path signal replica adequately. Finally, by subtracting the estimated multi-path component from the total signal, the LOS component could be extracted. Simulations show that this algorithm eliminates adequately the multi-path component and results in a better DOA estimation.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"8 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":"122102536","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}

Nowadays, with the development tax systems and the large volume of the data stored in them, need is felt for a tool by which we can process the stored data and provide users with the information obtained from it. According to tax politics, especially value-added tax, the rate of tax fraud is now increasing. Based on the investigations, recent researchers tend to use similar and standard methods to detect tax fraud, which includes, association rules, clustering, neural networks, decision trees, Bayesian networks, regression and genetic algorithms. Because of large volume of tax database, most of the studied methods about fraud detection are computationally intensive. In order to increase the performance of fraud detection algorithms such as Bayesian networks, parallelism techniques are used in this paper. We used parallel technology of Microsoft .Net, parallel loops and P-LINQ on the Intel Xeon server with 16, X7755 dual core processors and memory of 32GB. The implementation results on real database show that a speedup of up to 9.2x is achieved.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"12 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":"127784057","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}

Saliency detection is a fundamental characteristic of the human visual system. Finding computational models which are able to detect salient regions is a challenging task for image processing and computer vision applications. Salient regions of various sizes can be detected from different scales. Therefore, selecting the best scales is an important issue. In this paper, an efficient multi-scale method to find salient regions is proposed. In order to include more features in evaluating saliency of a pixel, feature maps are generated using components of both the RGB and YUV color spaces. These features are combined into quaternions. Detecting salient regions of different sizes is addressed by utilizing a scale space analysis. Salient regions are detected by convolving the image amplitude spectrum with a low-pass Gaussian kernel of multiple scales. To incorporate more meaningful information, more than one scale is considered based on entropy criterion. The final saliency map is generated by normalizing the weighted saliency maps of these scales. Experiments are conducted on a dataset of natural images to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Results show that the proposed method provides larger values of area under receiver operating characteristics curve, precision, recall and F-measure, in comparison to some of the state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"39 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":"127065922","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}

Petri net as a high level graphical and formal specification language has the ability of modeling most of properties of these systems such as non-determinism, concurrency, mutual exclusion etc. They offer a solution both in modeling and verification of these systems. Furthermore, different Petri net transformation techniques grant a divide and conquer approach for large scale real world systems. This paper offers a modular hybrid model for designing a cable manufacturing systems and its verification. Giving well-behaved modules of system, this approach outputs a well-behaved system through some property preserving transformations without extra verification of the whole system.

However, this algorithm and most of its improved versions fail to accurately distinguish words with similar vowels. The spoken pattern of digits/dow/ and/noh/ (2 and 9 respectively) in Persian is a good example for this type of similarity. In this paper we have proposed an enhanced vector quantization algorithm in which the deterministic role of the short consonants at the beginning of the words is taken into account. In this algorithm an unknown vector is judged based on the classification results of two set of codebooks. The first set of codebooks is constructed by the initial portions of the words while the other set is constructed by the whole words. The performance of the proposed algorithm was experimentally verified against other VQ-based algorithms. While the overall performance of the proposed algorithm was above the others, in the case of similar words it could remarkably decrease the number of misclassification. This improvement was achieved by only a small increase in the computational load.","PeriodicalId":424434,"journal":{"name":"2015 Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems Conference (SPIS)","volume":"1 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":"128238374","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 the region that signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is close to zero, the local minimum of the capacity of binary channel and local maximum of the CRLB happens.
