An application of Gammatone auditory filterbank for emotion recognition from speech is described in this paper. Gammatone filterbank is a bank of Gammatone filters which are used as a preprocessing stage before applying feature extraction methods to get the most relevant features for emotion recognition from speech. In the feature extraction step, the energy value of output signal of each filter is computed and combined with other of all filters to produce a feature vector for the learning step. A feature vector is estimated in a short time period of input speech signal to take the advantage of dependence on time domain. Finally, in the learning step, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used to create a model for each emotion class and recognize a particular input emotional speech. In the experiment, feature extraction based on Gammatone filterbank (GTF) shows the better outcomes in comparison with features based on Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) which is a well-known feature extraction for speech recognition as well as emotion recognition from speech.

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system plays a vital role to retrieve the relevant images as per the user perception from the huge database is a challenging task. Images are represented is to employ a combination of low-level features as per their visual content to form a feature vector. To reduce the search time of a large database while retrieving images, a novel image retrieval technique based on feature dimensionality reduction is being proposed with the exploit of metaheuristic optimization techniques based on Genetic Algorithm (GA), Extended Binary Cuckoo Search (EBCS) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). Each image in the database is indexed using a feature vector comprising of fuzzified based color histogram descriptor for color and Median binary pattern were derived in the color space from HSI for texture feature variants respectively. Finally, results are being compared in terms of Precision, Recall, F-measure, Accuracy, and error rate with benchmark classification algorithms (Linear discriminant analysis, CatBoost, Extra Trees, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, light gradient boosting, Extreme gradient boosting, k-NN, and Ridge) to validate the efficiency of the proposed approach. Finally, a ranking of the techniques using TOPSIS has been considered choosing the best feature selection technique based on different model parameters.

In this paper, we propose a use of confidence vector as an intermediate input feature for multi-stage based speech recognition architecture to improve recognition accuracy. A multi-stage speech recognition structure is introduced as a method to reduce the computational complexity of the decoding procedure and then accomplish faster speech recognition. Conventional multi-stage speech recognition is usually composed of three stages, acoustic search, lexical search, and acoustic re-scoring. In this paper, we focus on improving the accuracy of the lexical decoding by introducing a confidence vector as an input feature instead of phoneme which was used typically. We take experimental results on 220K Korean Point-of-Interest (POI) domain and the experimental results show that the proposed method contributes on improving accuracy.

The SVDD(support vector data description) is one of the most well-known one-class support vector learning methods, in which one tries the strategy of utilizing balls defined on the kernel feature space in order to distinguish a set of normal data from all other possible abnormal objects. The major concern of this paper is to consider the problem of modifying the SVDD into the direction of utilizing ellipsoids instead of balls in order to enable better classification performance. After a brief review about the original SVDD method, this paper establishes a new method utilizing ellipsoids in feature space, and presents a solution in the form of SDP(semi-definite programming) which is an optimization problem based on linear matrix inequalities.

A global path planning algorithm using modified self-organizing feature map(SOFM) which is a method among a number of neural network is presented. The SOFM uses a randomized small valued initial weight vectors, selects the neuron whose weight vector best matches input as the winning neuron, and trains the weight vectors such that neurons within the activity bubble are move toward the input vector. On the other hand, the modified method in this research uses a predetermined initial weight vectors of the 2-dimensional mesh, gives the systematic input vector whose position best matches obstacles, and trains the weight vectors such that neurons within the activity bubble are move toward the opposite direction of input vector. According to simulation results one can conclude that the modified neural network is useful tool for the global path planning problem of a mobile robot.

RNA 시퀀싱 데이터 (RNA-seq)에서 수집된 많은 양의 데이터에 변별력이 확실한 특징 패턴 선택이 유용하며, 차별성 있는 특징을 정의하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 이러한 이유는 빅데이터 자체의 특징으로써, 많은 양의 데이터에 중복이 포함되어 있기 때문이다. 해당이슈 때문에, 컴퓨터를 사용하여 처리하는 분야에서 특징 선택은 랜덤 포레스트, K-Nearest, 및 서포트-벡터-머신 (SVM)과 같은 다양한 머신러닝 기법을 도입하여 해결하려고 노력한다. 해당 분야에서도 SVM-기반 제약을 사용하는 서포트-벡터-머신-재귀-특징-제거(SVM-RFE) 알고리즘은 많은 연구자들에 의해 꾸준히 연구 되어 왔다. 본 논문의 제안 방법은 RNA 시퀀싱 데이터에서 빅-데이터처리를 위해 SVM-RFE에 강화학습의 Q-learning을 접목하여, 중요도가 추가되는 벡터를 세밀하게 추출함으로써, 변별력이 확실한 특징선택 방법을 제안한다. NCBI-GEO와 같은 빅-데이터에서 공개된 일부의 리보솜 단백질 클러스터 데이터에 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하고, 해당 알고리즘에 의해 나온 결과와 이전 공개된 SVM의 Welch' T를 적용한 알고리즘의 결과를 비교 평가하였다. 해당결과의 비교가 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘이 좀 더 나은 성능을 보여줌을 알 수 있다.

This paper explores an image segmentation and representation method using Vector Quantization(VQ) on color and texture for content-based image retrieval system. The basic idea is a transformation from the raw pixel data to a small set of image regions which are coherent in color and texture space. These schemes are used for object-based image retrieval. Features for image retrieval are three color features from HSV color model and five texture features from Gray-level co-occurrence matrices. Once the feature extraction scheme is performed in the image, 8-dimensional feature vectors represent each pixel in the image. VQ algorithm is used to cluster each pixel data into groups. A representative feature table based on the dominant groups is obtained and used to retrieve similar images according to object within the image. The proposed method can retrieve similar images even in the case that the objects are translated, scaled, and rotated.

This paper introduces the monitoring scheme of laser welding quality using neural network. The developed monitoring scheme detects light signal emitting from plasma formed above the weld pool with optic sensor and DSP-based signal processor, and analyzes to give a guidance about the weld quality. It can automatically detect defects of laser weld and further give an information about what kind of defects it is, specially partial penetration and porosity among the interior defects. Those could be detected only by naked eyes or X-ray after welding, which needs more processes and costs in mass production. The monitoring scheme extracts four feature vectors from signal processing results of optical measuring data. In order to classify pattern for extracted feature vectors and to decide defects, it uses single-layer neural network with perceptron learning. The monitoring result using only the first feature vector shows confidence rate in recognition of 90%($\pm$5) and decides whether normal status or defects status in real time.

The vector Taylor series (VTS) based method usually employs clean speech Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) when compensating speech feature vectors or adapting the parameters of trained HMMs. It is well-known that noisy speech HMMs trained by the Multi-condition TRaining (MTR) and the Multi-Model-based Speech Recognition framework (MMSR) method perform better than the clean speech HMM in noisy speech recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to use the noise-adapted HMMs in the VTS-based speech feature compensation method. We derived a novel mathematical relation between the train and the test noisy speech feature vector in the log-spectrum domain and the VTS is used to estimate the statistics of the test noisy speech. An iterative EM algorithm is used to estimate train noisy speech from the test noisy speech along with noise parameters. The proposed method was applied to the noise-adapted HMMs trained by the MTR and MMSR and could reduce the relative word error rate significantly in the noisy speech recognition experiments on the Aurora 2 database.

In this paper we propose a feature selection method identifying important features in the semivarying coefficient model. One important issue in semivarying coefficient model is how to estimate the parametric and nonparametric components. Another issue is how to identify important features in the varying and the constant effects. We propose a feature selection method able to address this issue using generalized cross validation functions of the varying coefficient least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR) and the linear LS-SVR. Numerical studies indicate that the proposed method is quite effective in identifying important features in the varying and the constant effects in the semivarying coefficient model.
