In this paper, a novel image projection technique for face recognition application is proposed which is based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) combined with the relevance-weighted (RW) method. The projection is performed through 2-directional and 2-dimensional LDA, or $(2D)^2$LDA, which simultaneously works in row and column directions to solve the small sample size problem. Moreover, a weighted discriminant hyperplane is used in the between-class scatter matrix, and an RW method is used in the within-class scatter matrix to weigh the information to resolve confusable data in these classes. This technique is called the relevance-weighted $(2D)^2$LDA, or RW$(2D)^2$LDA, which is used for a more accurate discriminant decision than that produced by the conventional LDA or 2DLDA. The proposed technique has been successfully tested on four face databases. Experimental results indicate that the proposed RW$(2D)^2$LDA algorithm is more computationally efficient than the conventional algorithms because it has fewer features and faster times. It can also improve performance and has a maximum recognition rate of over 97%.

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy combined Polynomial Neural Network(PNN) for pattern classification. The fuzzy combined PNN comes from the generic TSK fuzzy model with several linear polynomial as the consequent part and is the expanded version of the fuzzy model. The proposed pattern classifier has the polynomial neural networks as the consequent part, instead of the general linear polynomial. PNNs are implemented by stacking the simple polynomials dynamically. To implement one layer of PNNs, the various types of simple polynomials are used so that PNNs have flexibility and versatility. Although the structural complexity of the implemented PNNs is high, the PNNs become a high order-multi input polynomial finally. To estimate the coefficients of a polynomial neuron, The weighted linear discriminant analysis. The output of fuzzy rule system with PNNs as the consequent part is the linear combination of the output of several PNNs. To evaluate the classification ability of the proposed pattern classifier, we make some experiments with several machine learning data sets.

본 논문은 선형차원감소(Linear Dimensionality Reduction)을 위해 널리 이용되고 있는 특징추출 알고리듬인 선형판별분석(Linear Discriminant Analysis)의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 새로운 특징추출 알고리듬을 제안한다. 선형판별분석에 포함되는 평균-자료 간 거리 및 평균-평균 간의 거리에 기반한 분산행렬은 역행렬 연산, 계수의 제한 등으로 인하여 계산상의 문제와 추출되는 특징의 수가 제한되는 한계를 가지고 있다. 또한 자료의 집단이 단일 모드의 정규 분포로부터 얻어진 것으로 가정되며 그렇지 않은 경우에 대해서는 적절한 결과를 얻을 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 자료-자료 간의 거리에 기반하고 적절하게 가중치가 추가된 새로운 행렬을 정의하였으며. 이에 기반하여 특징을 추출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그럼으로써 앞서 선형판별분석의 여러 문제를 해결하고자 시도하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

In Korean, each digit is monosyllable and some pairs are known to have high confusability, causing performance degradation of connected digit recognition systems. To improve the performance, in this paper, we employ various discriminant analyses (DA) including Linear DA (LDA), Weighted Pairwise Scatter LDA WPS-LDA), Heteroscedastic Discriminant Analysis (HDA), and Maximum Likelihood Linear Transformation (MLLT). We also examine several combinations of various DA for additional performance improvement. Experimental results show that applying any DA mentioned above improves the string accuracy, but the amount of improvement of each DA method varies according to the model complexity or number of mixtures per state. Especially, more than 20% of string error reduction is achieved by applying MLLT after WPS-LDA, compared with the baseline system, when class level of DA is defined as a tied state and 1 mixture per state is used.

The linear and quadratic discrimination functions based on normal theory are widely used to classify an observation to one of predefined groups. But the discriminant functions are sensitive to outliers. A high breakdown procedure to estimate location and scatter of multivariate data is the minimum volume ellipsoid or MVE estimator To obtain high breakdown classifiers outliers in multivariate data are detected by using the robust Mahalanobis distance based on MVE estimators and the weighted estimators are inserted in the functions for classification. A samll-sample MOnte Carlo study shows that the high breakdown robust procedures perform better than the classical classifiers.

본 논문에서는 퍼지 k-NN과 reconstruction error에 기반을 둔 feature selection을 이용한 lazy 분류기 설계를 제안하였다. Reconstruction error는 locally linear reconstruction의 평가 지수이다. 새로운 입력이 주어지면, 퍼지 k-NN은 local 분류기가 유효한 로컬 영역을 정의하고, 로컬 영역 안에 포함된 데이터 패턴에 하중 값을 할당한다. 로컬 영역과 하중 값을 정의한 우에, feature space의 차원을 감소시키기 위하여 feature selection이 수행된다. Reconstruction error 관점에서 우수한 성능을 가진 여러 개의 feature들이 선택 되어 지면, 다항식의 일종인 분류기가 하중 최소자승법에 의해 결정된다. 실험 결과는 기존의 분류기인 standard neural networks, support vector machine, linear discriminant analysis, and C4.5 trees와 비교 결과를 보인다.

In this paper, we propose the structural design of Interval Type-2 FCM based RBFNN. Proposed model consists of three modules such as condition, conclusion and inference parts. In the condition part, Interval Type-2 FCM clustering which is extended from FCM clustering is used. In the conclusion part, the parameter coefficients of the consequence part are estimated through LSE(Least Square Estimation) and WLSE(Weighted Least Square Estimation). In the inference part, final model outputs are acquired by fuzzy inference method from linear combination of both polynomial and activation level obtained through Interval Type-2 FCM and acquired activation level through Interval Type-2 FCM. Additionally, The several parameters for the proposed model are identified by using differential evolution. Final model outputs obtained through benchmark data are shown and also compared with other already studied models' performance. The proposed algorithm is performed by using Iris and Vehicle data for pattern classification. For the validation of regression problem modeling performance, modeling experiments are carried out by using MPG and Boston Housing data.

This paper presents a new locomotion mode recognition method based on a transformed correlation feature analysis using an electromyography (EMG) pattern. Each movement is recognized using six weighted subcorrelation filters, which are applied to the correlation feature analysis through the use of six time-domain features. The proposed method has a high recognition rate because it reflects the importance of the different features according to the movements and thereby enables one to recognize real-time EMG patterns, owing to the rapid execution of the correlation feature analysis. The experiment results show that the discriminating power of the proposed method is 85.89% (${\pm}2.5$) when walking on a level surface, 96.47% (${\pm}0.9$) when going up stairs, and 96.37% (${\pm}1.3$) when going down stairs for given normal movement data. This makes its accuracy and stability better than that found for the principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis methods.

Gait Recognition is a new technique to identify the people by the way they walk. Human gait is a spatio-temporal phenomenon that typifies the motion characteristics of an individual. The proposed method makes a simple but efficient attempt to gait recognition. For each video file, spatial silhouettes of a walker are extracted by an improved background subtraction procedure using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Here GMM is used as a parametric probability density function represented as a weighted sum of Gaussian component densities. Then, the relevant features are extracted from the silhouette tracked from the given video file using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA) classifier is used in the classification of dimensional reduced image derived by the PCA method for gait recognition. Although gait images can be easily acquired, the gait recognition is affected by clothes, shoes, carrying status and specific physical condition of an individual. To overcome this problem, it is combined with footprint as a multimodal biometric system. The minutiae is extracted from the footprint and then fused with silhouette image using the Discrete Stationary Wavelet Transform (DSWT). The experimental result shows that the efficiency of proposed fusion algorithm works well and attains better result while comparing with other fusion schemes.
