Fuzzy Clustering Data Given on the Ordinal Scale Based on Membership and Likelihood Functions Sharing

By Zhengbing Hu Yevgeniy V. Bodyanskiy Oleksii K. Tyshchenko Viktoriia O. Samitova

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2017.02.01, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2017

A task of clustering data given on the ordinal scale under conditions of overlapping clusters has been considered. It’s proposed to use an approach based on membership and likelihood functions sharing. A number of performed experiments proved effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed method is characterized by robustness to outliers due to a way of ordering values while constructing membership functions.

Enhancement of Indoor Localization in WSN using PSO tuned EKF

By Ravichander Janapati ch. Balaswamy K.Soundararajan

In Wireless Sensor Networks, nodes are positioned arbitrarily and finding location of nodes is difficult. In this network, the nodes need to know their location is important for indoor applications. In this applications signals are affected by various factors such as noise, multipath, NLOS etc. This impact on inaccurate location information of node, which leads finding path to the destination node is difficult. Cooperative location based routing is alternative solution for finding better path. In this paper a solution is proposed for effective route in indoor application of WSN. The proposed solution uses Particle Swarm Optimization assisted Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter (PSO-AKF) for finding location of nodes. In this mechanism, finding accurate position of node impact on network performance such as minimization of delay, location error and also minimizes complexity.

The Impact of False Negative Cost on the Performance of Cost Sensitive Learning Based on Bayes Minimum Risk: A Case Study in Detecting Fraudulent Transactions

By Doaa Hassan

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2017.02.03, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2017

In this paper, we present a new investigation to the literature, where we that study the impact of false negative (FN) cost on the performance of cost sensitive learning. The proposed investigation approach has been performed on cost sensitive classifiers developed using Bayes minimum risk as an example of an applied mechanism for making classifier cost sensitive. We consider a case study in credit card fraud detection, where FN refers to the number of fraudulent transactions that are miss-detected and approved as legitimate ones. Our investigation approach relies on testing the performance of various complex cost sensitive classifiers from different categories developed using Bayes minimum risk at different costs of FN. Our results also show that those classifiers behave differently at different costs of FN including the real and average amount of transaction, and a range of random constant costs that are greater or less than the average amount. However, in general the results show that the lower the costs of FN are, the better the classifier performances are. This leads to different conclusions from the one drown in [1], which states that choosing the cost of FN to be equal to the amount of transaction leads to better performance of cost sensitive learning using Bayes minimum risk. The results of this paper are based on the real life anonymous and imbalanced UCSD transactional data set.

Comparative Study between ARX and ARMAX System Identification

By Farzin Piltan Shahnaz TayebiHaghighi Nasri B. Sulaiman

System Identification is used to build mathematical models of a dynamic system based on measured data. To design the best controllers for linear or nonlinear systems, mathematical modeling is the main challenge. To solve this challenge conventional and intelligent identification are recommended. System identification is divided into different algorithms. In this research, two important types algorithm are compared to identifying the highly nonlinear systems, namely: Auto-Regressive with eXternal model input (ARX) and Auto Regressive moving Average with eXternal model input (Armax) Theory. These two methods are applied to the highly nonlinear industrial motor.

Optimal Reliable Routing Path Selection in MANET through Novel Approach in GA

By Krishna S.R.M. Seeta Ramanath M.N. Kamakshi Prasad V.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2017.02.05, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2017

In MANETs (Mobile Adhoc Network) judgment in optimal reliable routing path between source and destination is a challenging task because of the mobility nature of nodes and is deficient in the infrastructure of the network which is so dynamic. So the objective of this paper is to identify an optimal reliable ordered routing paths between source and destination nodes in MANET.To meet the above challenging task the paper focus on an new novel approach in Genetic Algorithm called Parametric fitness based Genetic Algorithm.Proposed algorithm hybridized with classification model rough sets as one key sub component which offers better accuracy results.

Video-based Flame Detection using LBP-based Descriptor: Influences of Classifiers Variety on Detection Efficiency

By Oleksii Maksymiv Taras Rak Dmytro Peleshko

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2017.02.06, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2017

Techniques to detect the flame at an early stage are necessary in order to prevent the fire and minimize the damage. The flame detection technique based on the physical sensor has limited disadvantages in detecting the fire early. This paper presents the results of using local binary patterns for solving flames detecting problem and proposes modifications to improve the quality of detector work. Experimentally found that using support vector machines classifier with a kernel based on Gaussian radial basis functions shows the best results compared to other SVM cores or classifier k-nearest neighbors.

A Review on Large Scale Graph Processing Using Big Data Based Parallel Programming Models

By Anuraj Mohan Remya G

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2017.02.07, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2017

Processing big graphs has become an increasingly essential activity in various fields like engineering, business intelligence and computer science. Social networks and search engines usually generate large graphs which demands sophisticated techniques for social network analysis and web structure mining. Latest trends in graph processing tend towards using Big Data platforms for parallel graph analytics. MapReduce has emerged as a Big Data based programming model for the processing of massively large datasets. Apache Giraph, an open source implementation of Google Pregel which is based on Bulk Synchronous Parallel Model (BSP) is used for graph analytics in social networks like Facebook. This proposed work is to investigate the algorithmic effects of the MapReduce and BSP model on graph problems. The triangle counting problem in graphs is considered as a benchmark and evaluations are made on the basis of time of computation on the same cluster, scalability in relation to graph and cluster size, resource utilization and the structure of the graph.

Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) enables a communication pathway that is used to directly control certain object or device with the human brain. It is possible to acquire data from the brain with the help of sensors which essentially monitor the physical processes that occur in the brain and with the help of software we can direct a device accordingly. BCI introduces its users a new system that communicates in a special way without the use of muscles. BCI also provides a useful platform for the people with physical disabilities to conveniently perform certain tasks in our society. It uses brain imaging technologies which help in increasing the quality of the communication between humans and machines. There has been significant research effort in the past decade to explore different aspects of this promising field of technology. Previously, BCIs had limited functionality but due to recent advancement in technology it has attained the maturity of its own right by adding new trends and extra features to it.
In this paper, research work of development and integration of both hardware and software in BCI and the advancements of BCI are surveyed considering all the possibilities of direct communication of computers with a brain using emerging technologies. Different approaches used up till now with an overview of the methodology are presented to make the reader understand its meaning and functionality in a compact way. This research paper will guide a beginner to end up with a thorough knowledge of what’s, how’s and why’s of BCI. In addition, BCI applications, challenges, possible solutions and future directions have also been discussed.
