The proposed work concentrates on recognizing occlusion and seven kinds of expression variations such as neutral, surprise, happy, sad, fear, disgust and angry. During enrollment process, principle component analysis (PCA) detects facial regions on the input image. The detected facial region is converted into fuzzy domain data to make decision during recognition process. The Haar wavelet transform extracts features from the detected facial regions. The Nested Hidden markov model is employed to train these features and each feature of face image is considered as states in a Markov chain to perform learning among the features. The maximum likelihood for the input image was estimated by using Baum Welch algorithm and these features were kept on database. During recognition process, the expression and occlusion varied face image is taken as the test image and maximum likelihood for test image is found by following same procedure done in enrollment process. The matching score between maximum likelihood of input image and test image is computed and it is utilized by fuzzy rule based method to decide whether the test image belongs to authorized or unauthorized. The proposed work was tested among several expression varied and occluded face images of JAFFE and AR datasets respectively.展开更多

Both techniques utilize quadratures for singular integrals using graded points. One has a polynomial order of accuracy if the integrand has a polynomial order of smoothness except at the singular point and the other has exponential order of accuracy if the integrand has an infinite order of smoothness except at the singular point. We estimate the order of convergence and computational complexity of the corresponding approximate solutions of the equation. We prove that the second technique preserves the order of convergence and computational complexity of the original collocation method. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the theoretical estimates.展开更多

Based on data mining, a self-learning method is developed for identifying fuzzy model and extrapolating missing rules, by means of confidence measure and the improved gradient descent method. The proposed approach can not only identify fuzzy model, update its parameters and determine optimal output fuzzy sets simultaneously, but also resolve the uncontrollable problem led by the regions that data do not cover. The simulation results show the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach with the classical truck backer-upper control problem verifying.展开更多

It presents three cases in which the applied method works very well. In the first quantum dot, the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunction are obtained, and compared with those acquired from the exact numerical analysis and the WKB （Wentzel, Kramers and Brillouin） method; in the second or the third case, we get the energy eigenvalues by the ATMM, and compare them with the EBK （Einstein, Brillouin and Keller） results or the wavefunction outcomes. From the comparisons, we find that the semiclassical method （WKB, EBK or wavefunction） is inexact in such systems.展开更多

BRL uses a Bayesian score to evaluate the quality of BNs. In this paper, we extended the Bayesian score to include informative structure priors, which encodes our prior domain knowledge about the dataset. We call this extension of BRL as BRL_p. The structure prior has a λ hyperparameter that allows the user to tune the degree of incorporation of the prior knowledge in the model learning process. We studied the effect of λ on model learning using a simulated dataset and a real-world lung cancer prognostic biomarker dataset, by measuring the degree of incorporation of our specified prior knowledge. We also monitored its effect on the model predictive performance. Finally, we compared BRL_p to other stateof-the-art classifiers commonly used in biomedicine.RESULTS We evaluated the degree of incorporation of prior knowledge into BRL_p, with simulated data by measuring the Graph Edit Distance between the true datagenerating model and the model learned by BRL_p. We specified the true model using informative structurepriors. We observed that by increasing the value of λ we were able to increase the influence of the specified structure priors on model learning. A large value of λ of BRL_p caused it to return the true model. This also led to a gain in predictive performance measured by area under the receiver operator characteristic curve(AUC). We then obtained a publicly available real-world lung cancer prognostic biomarker dataset and specified a known biomarker from literature [the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) gene]. We again observed that larger values of λ led to an increased incorporation of EGFR into the final BRL_p model. This relevant background knowledge also led to a gain in AUC.CONCLUSION BRL_p enables tunable structure priors to be incorporated during Bayesian classification rule learning that integrates data and knowledge as demonstrated using lung cancer biomarker data.展开更多

By considering a nanoplate model and calculating the strain energy for the nano-sized plate under tension and bending, the relationship between the elastic modulus and the plate thickness is found. Size effects of the elastic modulus are displayed by the relative differences of the elastic modulus between the nano-sized plate sample and the bulk sample. By comparing the present results with those of others, the effectiveness of the Cauchy-Born rule model in studying the size effects of material properties are shown.展开更多

This method is based upon the Laplace Adomian decomposition method coupled with some quadrature rules of numerical integration. Four numerical examples of integro-differential equations in both Volterra and Fredholm integrals are used to be solved by the proposed method. The performance of the proposed method is verified through absolute error measures between the approximated solutions and exact solutions. The series of experimental numerical results show that our proposed method performs in high accuracy and efficiency. The study clearly highlights that the proposed method could be used to overcome the analytical approaches in solving nonlinear integro-differential equations.展开更多
