Ontologies have been shown in research to enhance the conceptual modeling of geographic data and allow a more effective and efficient way of integrating multiple sources of information. Different aspects such as fuzziness of the features, different levels of accuracy, precision and scale, heterogeneity of data models, generalization of concepts etc. may be resolved using ontologies. It still remains a challenge to use ontologies in order to automatically resolve the diverse geo-integration issues. One area that we are investigating is to integrate data related to shelters and hospitals with appropriate diverse geo-information sources so as to improve emergency management during floods, hurricanes and natural disasters.","PeriodicalId":448863,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2007)","volume":"367 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122921281","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}

A majority of ARM algorithms reported in the literature is efficient in handling high dimensional data but is single database based. Many enterprises maintain several databases independently to serve different purposes. There could be an implicit association among various parts of such data. In this paper, we investigate a mechanism to generate association rules (ARs) between the sets of values which are subsets of domains of attributes occurring in relations present in different databases. In our approach, the relevant databases, relations and attributes are identified using knowledge, multiple navigation paths are generated using data dictionary, a structure is constructed which semantically partitions the resultant relation using this navigation paths. We propose an efficient algorithm which uses this structure to generate ARs.","PeriodicalId":448863,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2007)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128275461","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}

Robot motions were controlled by a fuzzy motion control system running on a chip. The control algorithm can be easily changed with the help of an algorithm via web interface controlled by the control center. The control center program powered by MATLAB functions and special libraries (image and control) in DELPHI manage all robotic activities.

In this way, we obtain a prototype based fuzzy classification model (FLSOM), which can be easily interpreted and visualized due to the fundamental properties of SOMs. Moreover, the provided extension gives the ability to detect class similarities. We apply this approch to classification and class similarity detection for mass spectrometric data in case of cancer disease and obtain comparable results. We demonstrate that the FLSOM-based class similarity detection leads to clinically expected class similarities. Finally, this approach can be taken a semi-supervised learning approach in a twofold sense: association learning is influenced by two terms an unsupervised and a supervised learning term. Further, if no association is given for a data point, only the unsupervised learning amount is applied.","PeriodicalId":448863,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2007)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131152793","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, in large applications, they scale poorly. In many settings there is a large amount of unlabeled data which could be actively chosen by a learner and integrated in the learning procedure. The idea is to improve performance meanwhile reducing costs from data categorization. In this paper we propose an active learning RVM method based on the kernel trick. The underpinning idea is to define a working space between the relevance vectors (RV) initially obtained in a small labeled data set and the new unlabeled examples, where the most informative instances are chosen. By using kernel distance metrics, such a space can be defined and more informative examples can be added to the training set, increasing performance even though the problem dimension is not significantly affected. We detail the proposed method giving illustrative examples in the Reuters-21578 benchmark. Results show performance improvement and scalability.","PeriodicalId":448863,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2007)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124727487","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 use STFT (shortest time fourier form) to analyze music's property. And we infer users' preferences from users' music list. To analyze users' preferences we propose a dynamic K-means clustering algorithm. The dynamic K-means clustering algorithm clusters the pieces in the music list dynamically adapting the number of clusters. We recommend pieces of music based on the clusters. The previous recommendation systems analyze a user's preference by simply averaging the properties of music in the user's list. So those cannot recommend correctly if a user prefers several genres of music. By using our K-means clustering algorithm, we can recommend pieces of music which are close to user's preference even though he likes several genres. We perform experiments with one hundred pieces of music. In this paper we present and evaluate algorithms to recommend music.","PeriodicalId":448863,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2007)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131522950","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}
