New computational tools are thus required to deal with the dimensionality and complexity of these data. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common human genome variation and can be involved in disease conditions. Identifying SNPs and annotating its functional and clinical role in whole human genomes is a challenging task, which requires expert curation. There are several software tools that assist researchers in the SNP calling and SNP annotation processes. However, these tools do not focus on the association of SNPs to regulatory regions such as Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBSs). This paper proposes a methodology to assist the annotation of SNPs in whole genome sequences, including not only genes but also known TFBSs. Our main contribution is that we use an intuitionistic-based similarity measure (SCintuit [1]), based on fuzzy technology and intuitionistic sets, to perform accurate comparisons between DNA sequences and identify TFBSs affected by a SNP.","PeriodicalId":433207,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116419600","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}

Additionally, the new formulation takes into account the locations, if any, at which PMUs shall or shall not be placed.

However, data-driven models are usually evaluated only in terms of accuracy, thus not involving users. In literature several works have been proposed for defining measures for interpretability assessment, however, such measures are mostly based on a structural evaluation. For this reason, we investigated a new methodology for assessing interpretability based on semantic cointension. The objective of this work is to provide empirical evidence about the usefulness of semantic cointension in facing a medical problem, namely the prediction of prognosis in Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy. An experimental session has been conducted, where fuzzy rule-based classifiers have been modeled, which are highly interpretable from the structural viewpoint. Results show that through the notion of semantic cointension it is possible to perform a semantic-driven assessment of interpretability, which also takes into account the overall fuzzy inference schema.","PeriodicalId":433207,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114773647","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}

As an example, a thick steel block is rolled (passed through several pairs of rolls) to obtain a long steel strip. When a roll has a flaw, it provokes a periodical defect on the strip. If the defect is not detected promptly, a large number of manufactured strips will be marked with the periodical defect. The economic losses incurred when roll flaws are not detected are very high, because the strips can not be sold to the customers and all the resources consumed in their manufacturing are wasted. This paper presents an algorithm for detecting periodical defects by analyzing the single defects detected by an inspection system based on computer vision. Because these defects form a periodical pattern, pattern matching techniques can be used for their detection. The paper also contains an analysis of the metrics used to characterize the performance of the algorithm and the experimental methodology used to find the optimal values for its configuration parameters. The optimal configuration must maximize true detections, and also minimize false detections. False detections can shut the manufacturing line down unnecessarily to search for non-existent roll flaws. Finally, the results obtained are compared with those provided by the most widely used system in this field. In most cases, the results provided by the algorithm proposed were better.","PeriodicalId":433207,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134577079","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}

Our method assumes the logo template is unknown in advance and exploits the property that logotype pixels appearance through several consecutive frames has a lower variance than the others. Segmentation is difficult to accomplish if logo continuity is broken. In this work we propose the use of both edge and appearance continuity to carry out the segmentation. By checking edge continuity, the video is split into sequences with stable content. Later, sequences with similar static content are merged in order to build a longer sequence. Next a Gaussian mixture is used to model the variance of the pixels values in the merged sequences. Finally, a threshold that allows identification of the logo pixels is calculated. The new method is compared with a state-of-the-art method, obtaining better results in both accuracy and false logo rejection.","PeriodicalId":433207,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134405067","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}

We consider the discrimination of time-series generated using different linear ARMA models, and we also investigated the clustering of nonlinear time series generated using autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models. The Hubert-Arabie adjusted Rand's index is used as an external criterion for evaluating the partitions obtained with modified spectral clustering and various linkage algorithms. Guidelines are discussed, in particular the use of cepstral coefficients proves to be efficient both for linear and nonlinear data.","PeriodicalId":433207,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122005408","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}
