Thanks to music digitalization, recommendation systems and other online services have become indispensable in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR). Classification of music is essential for music recommendation systems. In this paper, we propose an approach for finding similarity between music. Our approach is based on mid-level attributes like pitch, midi value, interval, contour, and duration, and applying text-based classification techniques. Performance evaluation has been done using the accuracy score of scikit-learn. As a preliminary study, our system first predicted jazz, metal, and ragtime for western music. The genre prediction system has been tested on 476 music files with a maximum accuracy of 95.8% across different n-grams. Then, we have analyzed and classified the Indian classical Carnatic music based on their raga. Our system has predicted Sankarabharam, Mohanam, and Sindhubhairavi ragas. The raga prediction system was tested on 68 music files with a maximum accuracy of 90.14% across different n-grams.","PeriodicalId":6533,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"814-819"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82040337","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, it is difficult to improve the generalization performance of the trained fault-detection model because of the complex system configuration in the target diagnostic system and insufficient fault data. It is not trivial to apply the trained model to other systems. Here we propose a fault diagnosis method for refrigerant leak detection considering the physical modeling and control mechanism of an air-conditioning system. We derive a useful scaling law related to refrigerant leak. If the control mechanism is the same, the model can be applied to other air-conditioning systems irrespective of the system configuration. Small-scale off-line fault test data obtained in a laboratory are applied to estimate the scaling exponent. We evaluate the proposed scaling law by using real-world data. Based on a statistical hypothesis test of the interaction between two groups, we show that the scaling exponents of different air-conditioning systems are equivalent. In addition, we estimated the time series of the degree of leakage of real process data based on the scaling law and confirmed that the proposed method is promising for early leak detection through comparison with assessment by experts.","PeriodicalId":6533,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"13 1","pages":"1087-1094"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78443018","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}

Consequently, being able to retrieve the affect of a student can lead to more personalized education, targeting higher degrees of engagement and, thus, optimizing the learning experience and its outcomes. In this paper, we apply Machine Learning (ML) and present a novel approach for affect recognition in Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) by understanding learners' experience through tracking their interactions with a serious game as a learning platform. We utilize a variety of interaction parameters to examine their potential to be used as an indicator of the learner's affective state. Driven by the Theory of Flow model, we investigate the correspondence between the prediction of users' self-reported affective states and the interaction features. Cross-subject evaluation using Support Vector Machines (SVMs) on a dataset of 32 participants interacting with the platform demonstrated that the proposed framework could achieve a significant precision in affect recognition. The subject-based evaluation highlighted the benefits of an adaptive personalized learning experience, contributing to achieving optimized levels of engagement.","PeriodicalId":6533,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"68 1","pages":"372-379"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79511995","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}

First, dense connections were introduced to maximize the information flow, where each layer connects with all subsequent layers directly. Then weighted-based fusion method was employed to combine 3D-DenseNets with different architectures.

Non factoid QA is an important task and can be significantly applied in constructing useful knowledge bases and extracting valuable information. The advantage of using Deep Learning frameworks in solving these kind of problems is that it does not require any feature engineering and other linguistic tools. The proposed approach is to extend a LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) model in two directions, one with a Convolutional layer and other with an inner attention mechanism, proposed by Bingning Wang, et al., to the LSTMs, to generate answer representations in accordance with the question. On top of this Deep Learning model we used an information retrieval model based on indexing to generate answers and improve the accuracy. The proposed methodology showed an improvement in accuracy over the referred model and respective baselines and also with respect to the answer lengths used. The models are tested with two non factoid QA data sets: TREC-QA and InsuranceQA.","PeriodicalId":6533,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77102057","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 particular, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) attain topmost performance assuming a sufficiently large number of labeled training examples. Unfortunately, labeled data is artificially curated, and it requires human labor, which consequently makes it expensive and time-consuming. Moreover, there are no guarantees that the obtained labels are noise-free. In fact, the performance of CNNs is influenced by the level of noisy labels in the training dataset. Although the literature lacks attention to train learning methods with noisy labels, few semi-supervised learning methods mitigate this obstacle. In this paper, we propose a new teacher/student deep semi-supervised learning (TS-DSSL) method that employs self-training on noisy labels training dataset. We measure the efficiency of TS-DSSL on semi-supervised visual object classification tasks on the benchmark datasets CIFAR10 and MNIST. TS-DSSL achieves impressive results even in the presence of high-level noisy labels. It also sets a record on datasets with various levels of noisy labels created from the previous datasets with uniform and non-uniform noise distributions.","PeriodicalId":6533,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"182 6","pages":"907-912"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72577643","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}
