This study was directed at the design of a hybrid algorithm for competition relation extraction. Previous works on relation extraction have relied on various lexical and deep parsing indicators and mostly utilize only the machine learning method. We present a new algorithm integrating machine learning with various filtering methods. Some simple but useful features for competition relation extraction are also introduced, and an optimum feature set is proposed. The goal of this paper was to increase the precision of competition relation extraction by combining supervised learning with various filtering methods. Filtering methods were employed for classifying compete relation occurrence, using distance restriction for the filtering of feature pairs, and classifying whether or not the candidate entity pair is spam. For evaluation, a test set consisting of 2,565 sentences was examined. The proposed method was compared with the rule-based method and general relation extraction method. As a result, the rule-based method achieved positive precision of 0.812 and accuracy of 0.568, while the general relation extraction method achieved 0.612 and 0.563, respectively. The proposed system obtained positive precision of 0.922 and accuracy of 0.713. These results demonstrate that the developed method is effective for competition relation extraction.

It is important to extract salient object image and to solve the invariance problem for image recognition. In this paper we propose a new hybrid algorithm for invariance and improved classification performance in image recognition, whose algorithm is combined by FT(Frequency-tuned Salient Region Detection) algorithm, Guided filter, Zernike moments, and a simple artificial neural network (Multi-layer Perceptron). The conventional FT algorithm is used to extract initial salient object image, the guided filtering to preserve edge details, Zernike moments to solve invariance problem, and a classification to recognize the extracted image. For guided filtering, guided filter is used, and Multi-layer Perceptron which is a simple artificial neural networks is introduced for classification. Experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve a superior performance in the process of extracting salient object image and invariant moment feature. And the results show that the algorithm can also classifies the extracted object image with improved recognition rate.

This paper proposes a building recognition algorithm using watershed image segmentation algorithm and integrated region matching (IRM). To recognize a building, a preprocessing algorithm which is using Gaussian filter to remove noise and using canny edge extraction algorithm to extract edges is applied to input building image. First, images are segmented by watershed algorithm. Next, a region adjacency graph (RAG) based on the information of segmented regions is created. And then similar and small regions are merged. Second, a color distribution feature of each region is extracted. Finally, similar building images are obtained and ranked. The building recognition algorithm was evaluated by experiment. It is verified that the result from the proposed method is superior to color histogram matching based results.

This paper describes the method to reduce the time-cost for depth estimation of an image by learning, on the basis of the Genetic Algorithm, the image's features. The depth information is estimated from the relationship among features such as the energy value of an image and the gradient of the texture etc. The estimation-time increases due to the large dimension of an image's features used in the estimating process. And the use of the features without consideration of their importance can have an adverse effect on the performance. So, it is necessary to reduce the dimension of an image's features based on the significance of each feature. Evaluation of the method proposed in this paper using benchmark data provided by Stanford University found that the time-cost for feature extraction and depth estimation improved by 60% and the accuracy was increased by 0.4% on average and up to 2.5%.

In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for three-dimensional (3D) shape recognition using local features of model views and its sparse representation. The algorithm starts with the normalization of 3D models and the extraction of 2D views from uniformly distributed viewpoints. Consequently, the 2D views are stacked over each other to from view cubes. The algorithm employs the descriptors of 3D local features in the view cubes after applying Gabor filters in various directions as the initial features for 3D shape recognition. In the training stage, we store some 3D local features to build the prototype dictionary of local features. To extract an intermediate feature vector, we measure the similarity between the local descriptors of a shape model and the local features of the prototype dictionary. We represent the intermediate feature vectors of 3D models in the sparse domain to obtain the final descriptors of the models. Finally, support vector machine classifiers are used to recognize the 3D models. Experimental results using the Princeton Shape Benchmark database showed the average recognition rate of 89.7% using 20 views. We compared the proposed approach with state-of-the-art approaches and the results showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposed a new approach for endpoint detection of isolated speech, which proves to significantly improve the endpoint detection performance. The proposed algorithm relies on the root mean square energy (rms energy), zero crossing rate and spectral characteristics of the speech signal where the Euclidean distance measure is adopted using cepstral coefficients to accurately detect the endpoint of isolated speech. The algorithm offers better performance than traditional energy-based algorithm. The vocabulary for the experiment includes English digit from one to nine. These experimental results were conducted by 360 utterances from a male speaker. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the algorithm is quite acceptable. Moreover, the computation overload of this algorithm is low since the cepstral coefficients parameters will be used in feature extraction later of speech recognition procedure.

In an attempt to retrieve useful information for an efficient decision in the large knowledge system, it is generally necessary and important for a refined feature selection. Rough set has difficulty in generating optimal reducts and classifying boundary objects. In this paper, we propose quick reduction algorithm generating optimal features by rough entropy analysis for condition and decision attributes to improve these restrictions. We define a new conditional information entropy for efficient feature extraction and describe procedure of feature selection to classify the significance of features. Through the simulation of 5 datasets from UCI storage, we compare our feature selection approach based on rough set theory with the other selection theories. As the result, our modeling method is more efficient than the previous theories in classification accuracy for feature selection.

As the core component of transmission systems, converters are very prone to failure. To improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis for wind power converters, a fault feature extraction method combined with a wavelet transform and compressed sensing theory is proposed. In addition, an improved AdaBoost-SVM is used to diagnose wind power converters. The three-phase output current signal is selected as the research object and is processed by the wavelet transform to reduce the signal noise. The wavelet approximation coefficients are dimensionality reduced to obtain measurement signals based on the theory of compressive sensing. A sparse vector is obtained by the orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm, and then the fault feature vector is extracted. The fault feature vectors are input to the improved AdaBoost-SVM classifier to realize fault diagnosis. Simulation results show that this method can effectively realize the fault diagnosis of the power transistors in converters and improve the precision of fault diagnosis.

This paper introduces an automatic face region extraction method. This method consists of two part: face recognition and extraction of facial organs which are eye, eyebrow, nose and mouth. In first stage, we use genetic algorithms(GAs) to get face region in complex background. In second stage, we use Geometrical Face Model to textract eye, eyebrow, nose and mouth. In both stage, stochastic component is used to deal with the problems caused by had lighting condition. According to this value, blurring number is determined. Average Computation time is less than 1 sec, and using this method we can extract facial feature efficiently from several images which has different lightning condition.
