Brain computer interfaces (BCI) usually have focused on classifying the explicitly-expressed intentions of humans. In contrast, implicit intentions should be considered to develop more intelligent systems. However, classifying implicit intention is more difficult than explicit intentions, and the difficulty severely increases for subject independent classification. In this paper, we address the subject independent classification of implicit intention based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Among many machine learning models, we use the support vector machine (SVM) with radial basis kernel functions to classify the EEG signals. The Fisher scores are evaluated after extracting the gamma, beta, alpha and theta band powers of the EEG signals from thirty electrodes. Since a more discriminant feature has a larger Fisher score value, the band powers of the EEG signals are presented to SVM based on the Fisher score. By training the SVM with 1-out of-9 validation, the best classification accuracy is approximately 65% with gamma and theta components.

Recently, support vector learning attracts an enormous amount of interest in the areas of function approximation, pattern classification, and novelty detection. One of the main reasons for the success of the support vector machines(SVMs) seems to be the availability of global and sparse solutions. Among the approaches sharing the same reasons for success and exhibiting a similarly good performance, we have KFD(kernel Fisher discriminant) approach. In this paper, we consider the problem of function approximation utilizing both predetermined basis functions and the KFD approach for regression. After reviewing support vector regression, semi-parametric approach for including predetermined basis functions, and the KFD regression, this paper presents an extension of the conventional KFD approach for regression toward the direction that can utilize predetermined basis functions. The applicability of the presented method is illustrated via a regression example.

This paper proposes a traffic sign recognition method in real road environments. The video stream in driving environments has two different characteristics compared to a general object video stream. First, the number of traffic sign types is limited and their shapes are mostly simple. Second, the camera cannot take clear pictures in the road scenes since there are many illumination changes and weather conditions are continuously changing. In this paper, we improve a modified census transform(MCT) to extract features effectively from the road scenes that have many illumination changes. The extracted features are collected by histograms and are transformed by the dense descriptors into very high dimensional vectors. Then, the high dimensional descriptors are encoded into a low dimensional feature vector by Fisher-vector coding and Gaussian Mixture Model. The proposed method shows illumination invariant detection and recognition, and the performance is sufficient to detect and recognize traffic signs in real-time with high accuracy.

In this paper, an efficient approach to classification of transient and harmonic disturbances in power systems is proposed. First, the Stop-and-Go CA CFAR Detector is utilized to detect a disturbance from the power signals which are mixed with other disturbances and noise. Then, (i) Wigner Distribution, SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) and Fisher´s Criterion (ii) DWT and Fisher´s Criterion, are applied to extract an efficient feature vector. For the classification procedure, a combined neural network classifier is proposed to classify each corresponding disturbance class. Finally, the 10 class data simulated by Matlab power system blockset are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed classification system.

Class probability is a fundamental target in classification that contains complete classification information. In this article, we propose a class probability estimation method when the predictor is functional. Motivated by Wang et al. (Biometrika, 95, 149-167, 2007), our estimator is obtained by training a sequence of functional weighted support vector machines (FWSVM) with different weights, which can be justified by the Fisher consistency of the hinge loss. The proposed method can be extended to multiclass classification via pairwise coupling proposed by Wu et al. (Journal of Machine Learning Research, 5, 975-1005, 2004). The use of FWSVM makes our method model-free as well as computationally efficient due to the piecewise linearity of the FWSVM solutions as functions of the weight. Numerical investigation to both synthetic and real data show the advantageous performance of the proposed method.

A goal of this paper is doing fine grained recognition of breed of animal from pet images. Research about fine grained recognition from images is continuously developing, but it is not for animal object recognition because they have polymorphism. This paper proposes method of higher animal object recognition using Grab-cut algorithm for object segmentation and Fisher Vector for image encoding.

In this paper a systematic approach to automatic classificationi of power system harmonic disturbances is proposed where the proposed approach consists of the following three steps:(i) detecting and localizing each harmonic disturbance by applying discrete wavelet transform(DWT) (ii) extracting an efficient feature vector from each detected disturbance waveform by utilizing FFT and principal component analysis (PCA) along with Fisher's criterion and (iii) classifying the corresponding type of each harmonic disturbance by recognizing the pattern of each feature vector. To demonstrate the performance and applicability of the proposed classification procedure some simulation results obtained by analyzing 8-class power system harmonic disturbances being generated with Matlab power system blockset are also provided.

Action recognition has been studied in computer vision field for years. We present an effective approach to recognize actions using a dimension reduction method, which is applied as a crucial step to reduce the dimensionality of feature descriptors after extracting features. We propose to use sparse matrix and randomized kd-tree to modify it and then propose modified Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis (mLFDA) method which greatly reduces the required memory and accelerate the standard Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis. For feature encoding, we propose a useful encoding method called mix encoding which combines Fisher vector encoding and locality-constrained linear coding to get the final video representations. In order to add more meaningful features to the process of action recognition, the convolutional neural network is utilized and combined with mix encoding to produce the deep network feature. Experimental results show that our algorithm is a competitive method on KTH dataset, HMDB51 dataset and UCF101 dataset when combining all these methods.

We study the Fisher Information (FI) of m-generalized order statistics (m-GOSs) and their concomitants about the shape-parameter vector of the Iterated Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (IFGM) bivariate distribution. We carry out a computational study and show how the FI matrix (FIM) helps in finding information contained in singly or multiply censored bivariate samples from the IFGM. We also run numerical computations about the FIM for the sub-models of order statistics (OSs) and sequential order statistics (SOSs). We evaluate FI about the mean and the shape-parameter of exponential and power distributions, respectively. Finally, we investigate the Kullback-Leibler distance in concomitants of m-GOSs.

The linear support vector machine(SVM) is motivated by the maximal margin separating hyperplane and is a popular tool for binary classification tasks. Many studies exist on the consistency properties of SVM; however, it is unknown whether the linear SVM is consistent for estimating the optimal classification boundary even in the simple case of two Gaussian classes with a common covariance, where the optimal classification boundary is linear. In this paper we show that the linear SVM can be inconsistent in the univariate Gaussian classification problem with a common variance, even when the best tuning parameter is used.
