In this study, measures of distributional similarity such as KL-divergence are applied to cluster documents instead of traditional cosine measure, which is the most prevalent vector similarity measure for document clustering. Three variations of KL-divergence are investigated; Jansen-Shannon divergence, symmetric skew divergence, and minimum skew divergence. In order to verify the contribution of distributional similarities to document clustering, two experiments are designed and carried out on three test collections. In the first experiment the clustering performances of the three divergence measures are compared to that of cosine measure. The result showed that minimum skew divergence outperformed the other divergence measures as well as cosine measure. In the second experiment second-order distributional similarities are calculated with Pearson correlation coefficient from the first-order similarity matrixes. From the result of the second experiment, secondorder distributional similarities were found to improve the overall performance of document clustering. These results suggest that minimum skew divergence must be selected as document vector similarity measure when considering both time and accuracy, and second-order similarity is a good choice for considering clustering accuracy only.

With the growing use of big data and data mining, it serves to understand how such techniques can be used to understand various relationships in the healthcare field. This study uses hierarchical methods of data analysis to explore similarities in hospitalization across several New York state counties. The study utilized methods of measuring crowding distance of data for age-specific hospitalization period. Crowding distance is defined as the longest distance, or least similarity, between urban cities. It is expected that the city of Clinton have the greatest distance, while Albany the other cities are closer because they are connected by the shortest distance to each step. Similarities were stronger across hospital stays categorized by age. Hierarchical clustering can be applied to predict the similarity of data across the 10 cities of hospitalization with the measurement of crowding distance. In order to enhance the performance of hierarchical clustering, comparison can be made across congestion distance when crowding distance is applied first through the application of converting text to an attribute vector. Measurements of similarity between two objects are dependent on the measurement method used in clustering but is distinguished from the similarity of the distance; where the smaller the distance value the more similar two things are to one other. By applying this specific technique, it is found that the distance between crowding is reduced consistently in relationship to similarity between the data increases to enhance the performance of the experiments through the application of special techniques. Furthermore, through the similarity by city hospitalization period, when the construction of hospital wards in cities, by referring to results of experiments, or predict possible will land to the extent of the size of the hospital facilities hospital stay is expected to be useful in efficiently managing the patient in a similar area.

In this research, the similarity search algorithms are provided for large video data streams. A video stream that consists of a number of frames can be expressed by a sequence in the multidimensional data space, by representing each frame with a multidimensional vector By analyzing various characteristics of the sequence, it is partitioned into multiple video segments and clusters which are represented by hyper-rectangles. Using the hyper-rectangles of video segments and clusters, similarity functions between two video streams are defined, and two similarity search algorithms are proposed based on the similarity functions algorithms by hyper-rectangles and by representative frames. The former is an algorithm that guarantees the correctness while the latter focuses on the efficiency with a slight sacrifice of the correctness Experiments on different types of video streams and synthetically generated stream data show the strength of our proposed algorithms.

Pearson's correlation coefficient and vector similarity are generally applied to The users' similarity weight of user based recommender system. This study is needed to find that the correlation coefficient of similarity weight is effected by the number of pair response and significance probability. From the classified correlation coefficient by the significance probability test on the correlation coefficient and pair of response, the change of MAE is studied by comparing the predicted precision of the two. The results are experimentally related with the change of MAE from the significant correlation coefficient and the number of pair response.

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm that can extract lesion by inputting a medical image. Feature points are extracted using SIFT algorithm to extract genetic training of medical image. To increase the intensity of the feature points, the input image and that raining image are matched using vector similarity and the lesion is extracted. The vector similarity match can quickly lead to lesions. Since the direction vector is generated from the local feature point pair, the direction itself only shows the local feature, but it has the advantage of comparing the similarity between the other vectors existing between the two images and expanding to the global feature. The experimental results show that the lesion matching error rate is 1.02% and the processing speed is improved by about 40% compared to the case of not using the feature point intensity information.

In this study, real-time collection of mold vibration signals during injection molding processes was achieved through IoT devices installed on the mold surface. To analyze changes in the collected vibration signals, injection molding was performed under six different process conditions. Analysis of the mold vibration signals according to process conditions revealed distinct trends and patterns. Based on this result, cosine similarity was applied to compare pattern changes in the mold vibration signals. The similarity in time and acceleration vector space between the collected data was analyzed. The results showed that under identical conditions for all six process settings, the cosine similarity remained around 0.92±0.07. However, when different process conditions were applied, the cosine similarity decreased to the range of 0.47±0.07. Based on these results, a cosine similarity threshold of 0.60~0.70 was established. When applied to the analysis of mold vibration signals, it was possible to determine whether the molding process was stable or whether variations had occurred due to changes in process conditions. This establishes the potential use of cosine similarity based on mold vibration signals in future applications for real-time monitoring of molding process changes and anomaly detection.

Conventional competitive learning algorithms compute the Euclidien distance to determine the winner neuron out of all predetermined output neurons. In such cases, there is a drawback that the performence of the learning algorithm depends on the initial reference(=weight) vectors. In this paper, we propose a new competitive learning algorithm that dynamically generates output neurons. The proposed method generates output neurons by dynamically changing the class thresholds for all output neurons. We compute the similarity between the input vector and the reference vector of each output neuron generated. If the two are similar, the reference vector is adjusted to make it still more like the input vector. Otherwise, the input vector is designated as the reference vector of a new outputneuron. Since the reference vectors of output neurons are dynamically assigned according to input pattern distribution, the proposed method gets around the phenomenon that learning is early determined due to redundant output neurons. Experiments using speech data have shown the proposed method to be superior to existint methods.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of collaborative filtering recommender algorithms for better prediction accuracy of the customer's preference. The accuracy of customer's preference prediction is compared through the MAE of neighborhood based collaborative filtering algorithm and correspondence mean algorithm. It is analyzed by using MovieLens 1 Million dataset in order to experiment with the prediction accuracy of the algorithms. For similarity, weight used in both algorithms, commonly, Pearson's correlation coefficient and vector similarity which are used generally were utilized, and as a result of analysis, we show that the accuracy of the customer's preference prediction of correspondence mean algorithm is superior. Pearson's correlation coefficient and vector similarity used in two algorithms are calculated using the preference rating of two customers' co-rated movies, and it shows that similarity weight is overestimated, where the number of co-rated movies is small. Therefore, it is intended to increase the accuracy of customer's preference prediction through expanding the number of the existing co-rated movies.

Underwater ambient noise originating from geophysical, biological, and man-made acoustic sources contains information on the source and the ocean environment. Such noise affectsthe performance of sonar equipment. In this paper, three steps are used to identify the ambient noise source, detection, feature extraction, and similarity measurement. First, we use the zero-crossing rate to detect the ambient noisesource from background noise. Then, a set of feature vectors is proposed forthe ambient noise source using the Hilbert-Huang transform and the Karhunen-Loeve transform. Finally, the Euclidean distance is used to measure the similarity between the standard feature vector and the feature vector of the unknown ambient noise source. The developed algorithm is applied to the observed ocean data, and the results are presented and discussed.

Clustering is one of the most fundamental algorithms in machine learning. The performance of clustering is affected by the distribution of data, and when there are more data or more dimensions, the performance is degraded. For this reason, we use a stacked auto encoder, one of the deep learning algorithms, to reduce the dimension of data which generate a feature vector that best represents the input data. We use k-means, which is a famous algorithm, as a clustering. Sine the feature vector which reduced dimensions are also multi dimensional, we use the Euclidean distance as well as the cosine similarity to increase the performance which calculating the similarity between the center of the cluster and the data as a vector. A deep clustering networks combining a stacked auto encoder and k-means re-trains the networks when the k-means result changes. When re-training the networks, the loss function of the stacked auto encoder and the loss function of the k-means are combined to improve the performance and the stability of the network. Experiments of benchmark image ad document dataset empirically validated the power of the proposed algorithm.
