- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- machine learning, classification, learning vector quantization, self-organized mapping, supervised learning, and unsupervised learning
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- We present a new Generalized Learning Vector Quantization classifier called Optimally Generalized Learning Vector Quantization based on a novel weight-update rule for learning labeled samples. The algorithm attains stable prototype/weight vector dynamics in terms of estimated current and previous weights and their updates. Resulting weight update term is then related to the proximity measure used by Generalized Learning Vector Quantization classifiers. New algorithm and some major counterparts are tested and compared for synthetic and publicly available datasets. For both the datasets studied, it is seen that the new classifier outperforms its counterparts in training and testing with accuracy above 80% its counterparts and in robustness against model parameter varition.

- Description:
- Four of 28 wild boodies or burrowing bettongs, Bettongia lesueur (Quoy et Gaimard) passed oocysts of species of Eimeria Schneider, 1875. The boodies are surviving on off-shore islands and in large predator-proof sanctuaries on the mainland where they were reintroduced. The boodie is a potoroid marsupial extinct from the mainland of Australia due to predation from red foxes and feral cats. Comparison with other species of the genus Eimeria indicates that the coccidium found represents a new species. Sporulated oocyst of Eimeria burdi sp. n. are pyriform, 21.0-24.0 µm (mean 22.6 µm) by 14.0-16.0 µm (14.9 µm), with a length/width ratio 1.31-1.71 (1.52) and 1-µm-thick yellowish bilayered wall. Micropyle is present at the thinner apex end filled with hyaline body. Polar granules are absent. Sporocysts are ellipsoidal, 10.0-13.5 µm (11.8 µm) by 7.0-8.5 µm (7.4 µm), shape index is 1.42-1.89 (1.63) and a very thin, poorly defined unilayered sporocyst wall is 0.2 µm thick with a domelike almost indistinct Stieda body. Substieda body is indistinct., Frances Hulst, Leah F. Kemp, Jan Šlapeta., and Obsahuje bibliografii

- Subject:

- Language:
- English
- Description:
- We consider a large class of impulsive retarded functional differential equations (IRFDEs) and prove a result concerning uniqueness of solutions of impulsive FDEs. Also, we present a new result on continuous dependence of solutions on parameters for this class of equations. More precisely, we consider a sequence of initial value problems for impulsive RFDEs in the above setting, with convergent right-hand sides, convergent impulse operators and uniformly convergent initial data. We assume that the limiting equation is an impulsive RFDE whose initial condition is the uniform limit of the sequence of the initial data and whose solution exists and is unique. Then, for sufficient large indexes, the elements of the sequence of impulsive retarded initial value problem admit a unique solution and such a sequence of solutions converges to the solution of the limiting Cauchy problem., Márcia Federson, Jaqueline Godoy Mesquita., and Obsahuje seznam literatury

865. A new curve fitting based rating prediction algorithm for recommender systems
- Creator:
- Ar, Yilmaz, Emrah Amrahov, Şahin, Gasilov, Nizami A., and Yigit-Sert, Sevgi
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- recommender systems, collaborative filtering, and curve fitting
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- The most algorithms for Recommender Systems (RSs) are based on a Collaborative Filtering (CF) approach, in particular on the Probabilistic Matrix Factorization (PMF) method. It is known that the PMF method is quite successful for the rating prediction. In this study, we consider the problem of rating prediction in RSs. We propose a new algorithm which is also in the CF framework; however, it is completely different from the PMF-based algorithms. There are studies in the literature that can increase the accuracy of rating prediction by using additional information. However, we seek the answer to the question that if the input data does not contain additional information, how we can increase the accuracy of rating prediction. In the proposed algorithm, we construct a curve (a low-degree polynomial) for each user using the sparse input data and by this curve, we predict the unknown ratings of items. The proposed algorithm is easy to implement. The main advantage of the algorithm is that the running time is polynomial, namely it is θ(n2), for sparse matrices. Moreover, in the experiments we get slightly more accurate results compared to the known rating prediction algorithms.

866. A new damping strategy of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for Multilayer Perceptrons
- Creator:

- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, damping parameter, Gauss-Newton method, and error backpropagation
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- In this paper, a new adjustment to the damping parameter of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is proposed to save training time and to reduce error oscillations. The damping parameter of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm switches between a gradient descent method and the Gauss-Newton method. It also affects training speed and induces error oscillations when a decay rate is fixed. Therefore, our damping strategy decreases the damping parameter with the inner product between weight vectors to make the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm behave more like the Gauss-Newton method, and it increases the damping parameter with a diagonally dominant matrix to make the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm act like a gradient descent method. We tested two simple classifications and a handwritten digit recognition for this work. Simulations showed that our method improved training speed and error oscillations were fewer than those of other algorithms.

867. A new digital cochlea model neuro-spike representation of auditory signals and its application to classification of bat-like biosonar echoes
- Creator:
- Temel, Turgay
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- Audio processing systems, pattern recognition and classification, cochlea model, and spike coding
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- For an improved neuro-spike representation of auditory signals within cochlea models, a new digital ARMA-type low-pass filter structure is proposed. It is compared to more conventional AR-type counterpart on a classification of biosonar echoes, in which echoes from various tree species insonified with a bat-like chirp call are converted to biologically plausible feature vectors. Next, parametric and non-parametric models of the class-conditional densities are built from the echo feature vectors. The models are deployed in single-shot and sequential-decision classification algorithms. The results indicate that the proposed ARMA filter structure offers an improved single-echo classification performance, which leads to faster sequential-decision making than its AR-type counterpart.

- Description:
- $G(3,m,n)$ is the group presented by $\langle a,b\mid a^5=(ab)^2=b^{m+3}a^{-n}b^ma^{-n}=1\rangle $. In this paper, we study the structure of $G(3,m,n)$. We also give a new efficient presentation for the Projective Special Linear group $PSL(2,5)$ and in particular we prove that $PSL(2,5)$ is isomorphic to $G(3,m,n)$ under certain conditions.

869. A new error estimate for a fully finite element discretization scheme for parabolic equations using Crank-Nicolson method
- Creator:
- Bradji, Abdallah and Fuhrmann, Jürgen
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- parabolic equation, finite element method, Crank-Nicolson method, and new error estimate
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Finite element methods with piecewise polynomial spaces in space for solving the nonstationary heat equation, as a model for parabolic equations are considered. The discretization in time is performed using the Crank-Nicolson method. A new a priori estimate is proved. Thanks to this new a priori estimate, a new error estimate in the discrete norm of W1,∞(L 2 ) is proved. An L∞(H1 )-error estimate is also shown. These error estimates are useful since they allow us to get second order time accurate approximations for not only the exact solution of the heat equation but also for its first derivatives (both spatial and temporal). Even the proof presented in this note is in some sense standard but the stated W1,∞(L 2 )- error estimate seems not to be present in the existing literature of the Crank-Nicolson finite element schemes for parabolic equations.

- Type:

- Subject:
- estimation, failure rate shapes, moments, and Poisson-Lindley distribution
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- In this paper, we introduce a general family of continuous lifetime distributions by compounding any continuous distribution and the Poisson-Lindley distribution. It is more flexible than several recently introduced lifetime distributions. The failure rate functions of our family can be increasing, decreasing, bathtub shaped and unimodal shaped. Several properties of this family are investigated including shape characteristics of the probability density, moments, order statistics, (reversed) residual lifetime moments, conditional moments and Rényi entropy. The parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method and the Fisher's information matrix is determined. Several special cases of this family are studied in some detail. An application to a real data set illustrates the performance of the family of distributions.
