Specially, It provides a new strategy of clustering using a competition and co-operation principal. The probabilistic Kohonen network (PRSOM) is the stochastic version of classical one. However, determination of the optimal number of neurons and their initial weight vectors in the map is still a big problem in the literature. These parameters have a great impact on the learning process of the network, the convergence and the quality of results. Also determination of clusters' number of datasets is a very difficult task. In this paper we extend the original Kohonen network to classify unlabeled data and determine the number of clusters. The task consists of generating a heuristic method before the learning phase of the network. The main goal of this method is looking for the initial parameters of the map. We compare the result of the proposed method with that of the original Kohonen network. We further experiment the applicability and the performance of the method on dataset Iris. The result shows that the proposed method is able to produce satisfactory clustering results.","PeriodicalId":426557,"journal":{"name":"2015 Intelligent Systems and Computer Vision (ISCV)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121440622","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}

To make this reconstruction perfect, some conditions are necessary, the signal must be sparse in a known basis and the number of measures should be sufficient enough to be in accordance with the rate of the signal sparseness. In this paper, we propose to compare different bases of transformation for compressive sensing of images. For this purpose, we use the most popular transformations that are DWT, DCT, DT-CWT and Contourlet. For our study, we choose two of the most efficient image recovery methods. The first is the L1-dantzig selector based on convex optimization approach, and the second is the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) based on greedy algorithms. Experimental results show the efficiency of the DT-CWT in term of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) and also with the visual assessment of the reconstructed images.","PeriodicalId":426557,"journal":{"name":"2015 Intelligent Systems and Computer Vision (ISCV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129623776","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}

However, the SMC produces chattering phenomenon due to the higher needed switching gain, in the presence of large uncertainties.

Neighborhood formation is considered as the main phase in memory approaches. Unfortunately, this phase encounters many problems such as sparsity and scalability, especially for huge datasets which consists of a large number of users and items. This paper presents a new hybrid approach for collaborative filtering. It is based on two heuristic approaches for neighborhood selection. The first of which is based on selecting users who rated the same items as the active user called “intersection neighborhood”, while the second one builds the neighborhood using all users who rated one item at least as the active user called “union neighborhood”. In addition, we employ matrix factorization technique to learn the latent characteristics of the selected neighborhood (users or items) in order to quickly predict good quality of the unknown ratings. Finally, experiments show that the proposed approaches give more predictions accuracy than the traditional collaborative filtering.","PeriodicalId":426557,"journal":{"name":"2015 Intelligent Systems and Computer Vision (ISCV)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131525839","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}

Basically speaking, we used bundle adjustment based on Levenberg-Marquardt optimization with the aim to estimate our 3D scene. In fact, it is different to the classic case. We integrate a pose estimation algorithm in 3D reconstruction process. As it is known, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm presents low convergence rate 0% if initial values are wrong. The use of pose estimation previously cited can improve convergence but, it is still not satisfactory for users. So, using geometric constraints present a good solution. It brings us many advantages; it helps us to reduce estimated parameters number and stabilizes good quality for 3D results. In fact, we should recall that we use uncalibrated views, so we don't have any prior information about our 3D scene to achieve 3D reconstruction with no pertinent initial values used in Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.

The objective of the proposed control is defined in relation with the trade-off between the wind energy conversion maximization and the minimization of the stress on the drive train shafts. Sliding mode control approach (SMC) emerges as an especially suitable option to deal with variable speed wind turbine. However, for large uncertain systems, the SMC produces chattering problems due to the higher needed switching gain. In order to reduce this gain, general regression neural network (GRNN) is used for the prediction of model unknown component and hence enable a lower switching gain to be used. In the present work, back-propagation (BP) algorithm will be used to train online the GRNN weights. A robust control term with low switching gain is added to compensate the neural network errors. The stability is shown by the Lyapunov theory and the control action used did not exhibit any chattering behavior. The effectiveness of the designed method is illustrated in simulations by the comparison with traditional SMC.","PeriodicalId":426557,"journal":{"name":"2015 Intelligent Systems and Computer Vision (ISCV)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134422480","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}
