This paper presents a new system for facial expression recognition based in dimension model of internal states. The information of facial expression are extracted to the three steps. In the first step, Gabor wavelet representation extracts the edges of face components. In the second step, sparse features of facial expressions are extracted using fuzzy C-means(FCM) clustering algorithm on neutral faces, and in the third step, are extracted using the Dynamic Model(DM) on the expression images. Finally, we show the recognition of facial expression based on the dimension model of internal states using a multi-layer perceptron. The two dimensional structure of emotion shows that it is possible to recognize not only facial expressions related to basic emotions but also expressions of various emotion.

For the automatic detection of pulmonary blood vessels, a new algorithm is proposed using the fact that human recognizes a pattern orderly according to their size. This method simulates the human recognition process by the pyramid images. For the detection of vessels using multilevel image, large and wtde ones are detected from the most compressed level, followed by the detection of small and narrow ones from the less compressed images with FCM(fuzzy c means) clustering algorithm which classifies similar data into a group. As the proposed algorithm detects blood vessels orderly according to their size, there is no need to consider the variation of parameters and the branch points which should be considered in other detection algirithms. In the detection of patterns whose size changes successively like pulmonary blood vessels, this proposed algorithm can be properly applied

In this paper, we introduce design methodologies of polynomial radial basis function neural network classifier with the aid of Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA). By minimizing the information loss of given data, Feature data is obtained through preprocessing of PCA and LDA and then this data is used as input data of RBFNNs. The hidden layer of RBFNNs is built up by Fuzzy C-Mean(FCM) clustering algorithm instead of receptive fields and linear polynomial function is used as connection weights between hidden and output layer. In order to design optimized classifier, the structural and parametric values such as the number of eigenvectors of PCA and LDA, and fuzzification coefficient of FCM algorithm are optimized by Artificial Bee Colony(ABC) optimization algorithm. The proposed classifier is applied to some machine learning datasets and its result is compared with some other classifiers.

In this paper, we design the Multi-FNN(Fuzzy-Neural Networks) using HCM Method. The proposed Multi-FNN uses simplified inference as fuzzy inference method and Error Back Propagation Algorithm as learning rules. Also, We use HCM(Hard C-Means) method of clustering technique for improvement of output performance from pre-processing of input data. The parameters such as apexes of membership function, learning rates and momentum coefficients are adjusted using genetic algorithms. We use the training and testing data set to obtain a balance between the approximation and the generalization of our model. Several numerical examples are used to evaluate the performance of the our model. From the results, we can obtain higher accuracy and feasibility than any other works presented previously.

암의 치료법은 같은 종류의 암이라 해도 그 하부 클래스에 따라 매우 다르기 때문에 암의 클래스를 예측하는 것은 그 정확한 치료를 위하여 매우 중요하다. 유전자 발현 데이터를 이용한 암의 분류에 있어 기존의 연구들은 각 데이터를 하나의 클러스터에 소속시키는 하드 분할(hard partition)에 의한 분할 방식을 사용하는 하드 클러스터링을 사용하였다. 하지만 일반적으로 유전자 발현 암 데이터와 같은 실세계의 데이터는 쉽게 나뉘어지기 힘들거나 클러스터 간의 경계가 분명하지 않기 때문에 하드 클러스터링 기법은 주어진 데이터의 성질을 손실시킬 수 있는데 반해, 퍼지 클러스터링 기법은 각 데이터가 소속 정도에 따라 여러 개의 클러스터에 속할 수 있도록 분할하기 때문에 이러한 손실을 최소화할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 퍼지 클러스터링의 대표적인 방법인 fuzzy c-means 클러스터링을 적용하여 암의 클래스를 예측하고, 다양한 하드 클러스터링 방법과 비교함으로써 퍼지 클러스터링의 성능을 검증하였다.

In this study, the Polynomial-based Radial Basis Function Neural Networks is proposed as one of the recognition part of overall face recognition system that consists of two parts such as the preprocessing part and recognition part. The design methodology and procedure of the proposed pRBFNNs are presented to obtain the solution to high-dimensional pattern recognition problem. First, in preprocessing part, we use a CCD camera to obtain a picture frame in real-time. By using histogram equalization method, we can partially enhance the distorted image influenced by natural as well as artificial illumination. We use an AdaBoost algorithm proposed by Viola and Jones, which is exploited for the detection of facial image area between face and non-facial image area. As the feature extraction algorithm, PCA method is used. In this study, the PCA method, which is a feature extraction algorithm, is used to carry out the dimension reduction of facial image area formed by high-dimensional information. Secondly, we use pRBFNNs to identify the ID by recognizing unique pattern of each person. The proposed pRBFNNs architecture consists of three functional modules such as the condition part, the conclusion part, and the inference part as fuzzy rules formed in 'If-then' format. In the condition part of fuzzy rules, input space is partitioned with Fuzzy C-Means clustering. In the conclusion part of rules, the connection weight of pRBFNNs is represented as three kinds of polynomials such as constant, linear, and quadratic. Coefficients of connection weight identified with back-propagation using gradient descent method. The output of pRBFNNs model is obtained by fuzzy inference method in the inference part of fuzzy rules. The essential design parameters (including learning rate, momentum coefficient and fuzzification coefficient) of the networks are optimized by means of the Particle Swarm Optimization. The proposed pRBFNNs are applied to real-time face recognition system and then demonstrated from the viewpoint of output performance and recognition rate.

In this study, we propose a design of digits recognition system based on RBFNNs through a comparative study of pre-processing algorithms in order to recognize digits in handwritten. Histogram of Oriented Gradient(HOG) is used to get the features of digits in the proposed digits recognition system. In the pre-processing part, a dimensional reduction is executed by using Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and (2D)2PCA which are widely adopted methods in order to minimize a loss of the information during the reduction process of feature space. Also, The architecture of radial basis function neural networks consists of three functional modules such as condition, conclusion, and inference part. In the condition part, the input space is partitioned with the use of fuzzy clustering realized by means of the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm. Also, it is used instead of gaussian function to consider the characteristic of input data. In the conclusion part, the connection weights are used as the extended type of polynomial expression such as constant, linear, quadratic and modified quadratic. By using MNIST handwritten digit benchmarking database, experimental results show the effectiveness and efficiency of proposed digit recognition system when compared with other studies.

For the analysis of multiunit extracellular neural signals as multiple spike trains, neural spike sorting is essential. Existing algorithms for the spike sorting have been unsatisfactory when the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) is low, especially for implementation of fully-automated systems. We present a novel method that shows satisfactory performance even under low SNR, and compare its performance with a recent method based on principal component analysis(PCA) and fuzzy c-means(FCM) clustering algorithm. Our system consists of a spike detector that shows high performance under low SNR, a feature extractor that utilizes projection pursuit based on negentropy maximization, and an unsupervised classifier based on Gaussian mixture model. It is shown that the proposed feature extractor gives better performance compared to the PCA, and the proposed combination of spike detector, feature extraction, and unsupervised classification yields much better performance than the PCA-FCM, in that the realization of fully-automated unsupervised spike sorting becomes more feasible.

We propose a design scheme of a binary decision tree and apply it to the tire tread pattern recognition problem. In this scheme, a binary decision tree is constructed by using fuzzy C-means( FCM ) algorithm. All the available features are used while clustering. At each node, the best feature or feature subset among these available features is selected based on proposed similarity measure. The decision tree can be used for the classification of unknown patterns. The proposed design scheme is applied to the tire tread pattern recognition problem. The design procedure including feature extraction is described. Experimental results are given to show the usefulness of this scheme.

본 논문에서는 비선형 기동을 하는 기동표적의 추정된 잡음을 분석하여 표적의 기동패턴을 분석하는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다. 기동표적의 추정위치와 측정치에서 발생하는 잡음을 가속도와 순수 잡음으로 분리하고 분리된 성분을 분석하여 표적의 기동 패턴을 인식하고 동시에 추적을 실시하는 알고리즘을 구성한다. 잡음의 분리는 퍼지 클러스터링(FCM : Fuzzy C-means Clustering) 기법을 이용하여 적절한 추정값을 이용한다. 추정된 표적의 속도와 가속도, 잡음을 재 구성하여 기동표적의 기동패턴을 분석하고, 동시에 추적을 실시한다. 위의 과정을 통해 가속도를 분리한 후 비선형성을 지닌 기동표적의 기동패턴을 선형화 하여 칼만필터를 이용 잡음을 분리하고 가속도를 다시 보상하여 추적 알로리즘을 구성한다. 그리고 제안된 알고리즘의 수행 가능성을 보여 주기 위하여 몇 가지 예를 제시하였다.
