string (word) embeddings are keys to advanced neural natural language understanding (NLU) models. Recently, a new embedding called contextual string embedding (CtxEmb) reached a new state of the art on many NLU tasks. Specially, a pooling variant of CtxEmb demonstrated new best results on named entity recognition (NER) tasks. While the pooling variant is good at reaching new best performance in terms of Micro F1 score, it poses questions on what kind of information in the pool is helpful. In particular, the pooling variant maintains a (possibly long) list of previously seen occurrences of a word, and computes embedding for the word in a new context based on those occurrences. In this paper, we propose a strategy to forget some previous occurrences, and thus exploring which history are beneficial in constructing embeddings for a new context of a word. The proposed forgotten strategy is designed by accounting for a distance metric defined in this paper. Preliminary experiments on the WNUT-17 task show the effectiveness of our forgotten strategy, and uncover that embeddings that are diverse in terms of cosine similarity are helpful in forming an aggregated embedding.

Red blood cell abnormalities involve erythrocytes that supply oxygen to all body tissues. Sometimes the formation and role of erythrocytes are hindered. Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is one kind of red blood cell disease. People carrying sickle cell anemia are increasing day by day. Sickle cell anemia shortens life expectancy. But life expectancy can be extended by diagnosing it an early stage. To identify the existence of sickle cells, an imageprocessing procedure is developed. Blood samples are collected in the form of image format. The conversion of gray image, noise filtering and enhancement of image is done in image pre-processing. Fuzzy C means clustering is applied to determine the normal and sickle cells. Morphological operations are also applied to images. The geometrical and statistical features are used for extraction. Lastly, k nearest neighbor (km), support vector machine (svm) & extreme learningmachine (elm) classifiers are implemented to testimages. Comparisons among the classifiers with reliable results are presented by this system.

Facial expression recognition can be divided into three steps: face detection, expression feature extraction and expression categorization. Facial expression feature extraction and categorization are the most key issue. To address this issue, we propose a method to combine local binary pattern (LBP) and embedded hidden markov model (EHMM), which is the key contribution of this paper This paper first gives an introduction about facial expression recognition and then describes EHMM and LBP Finally, we give out the LBP-EHMM method in facial expression recognition, and perform an experiment to obtain a comparison between LBP feature and discrete cosine transform (DCT) feature.

In this paper, a novel context-sensitive classification technique based on Support Vector machines (CS-SVM) is proposed. This technique aims at exploiting the promising SVM method for classification of 2-D (or n-D) scenes by considering the spatial-context information of the pixel to be analyzed. ne context-based architecture is defined by properly integrating SVMs with a Markov Random Field (MRF) approach. In the design of the resulting system, two main issues have been addressed: i) estimation of the observation term statistic (class-conditional densities) with a proper multiclass SVM architecture;ii) integration of the SVM approach in the framework of MRFs for modeling the prior model of images. Thanks to the effectiveness of the SVM machinelearningstrategy and to the capability of MRFs to properly model the spatial-contextual information of the scene, the resulting context-sensitive image classification procedure generates regularized classification maps characterized by a high accuracy. Experimental results obtained on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing images confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper presents an analytical performance prediction model and methodology that can be used to predict the execution time, speedup, scalability and similar performance metrics of a targe set of imageprocessing operations running on a p-processor parallel system. The model which requires only a few parameters obtainable on a minimal system can help in the systematic design, evaluation and performance tuning of parallel imageprocessing systems. Using the model one can reason about the performance of a parallel imageprocessing system prior to implementation. The method can also support programmers in detecting critical parts of an implementation and system designers in predicting hardware performance and the effect of hardware parameter changes on performance. The execution of parallel imageprocessing operations was studied and operations were arranged in three main problem classes based on data locality and the communication patterns of the algorithms. The core of the method is the derivation of the overhead function, as it is the overhead that determines the achievable speedup. The overheads were examined and modelled for each class. The use of the method is illustrated by four class-representative imageprocessing algorithms: image-scalar addition, convolution, histogram calculation and the Fast Fourier Transform. The developed performance model has been validated on a 16-node parallel machine and it has been shown that the model is able to predict the parallel run-time and other performance metrics of parallel imageprocessing operations accurately.

A fast hand detection and gesture recognition method is proposed in this paper. To reduce the computation time, we employ symmetric mask-based discrete wavelet transform (SMDWT) to reduce the image resolution and then utilize the extracted characteristics to perform hand detection and gesture recognition. The proposed method reduces about 66% of the overall computation time. Experimental results show that the proposed real time hand detection and gesture recognition methods can detect fast and accurately, and can be implemented on embedded system easily. The average gesture recognition rate is around 97.5%.

The classification process for patternrecognition uses sensors to read measurements from input examples. A feature function next reduces and quantizes these measurements into feature vectors (combinations of feature data). Finally, using the feature vectors, a decision function classifies the current example by comparison to a statistical model of feature vector data. Which particular feature vectors are made available to the decision function has usually been determined during the design phase by the person constructing the system depending on the hardware available for the sensors. With an adaptive synthesis layer, however, a collective learning automata learns which feature vectors are contributing to correct classification and dynamically adjusts the decision function accordingly. A weighted average scheme is used to combine multiple subhypotheses of the example's class (known as rank hypotheses) into a single output hypothesis (known as the super hypothesis). Updating the weights depends on two factors: an evaluation score and a feature vector compensation. The score is a collective measure of the weighted average combination of rank hypotheses. The feature vector compensation is an individual measure of each feature vector's contribution to the overall decision based on a history of detected patterns. This two-layer approach is one of the most efficient methods in multi-objective programming, yet the application of this approach to machinelearning as proposed in this dissertation is unique. In particular, a collective learning automation is used to enhance the combination of a number of candidate class subhypotheses into as single, unique classification. This process is refereed to as adaptive synthesis. This approach has been applied to black and white character recognition and grey scale block classification using the Adaptive learningimage Analysis System (ALIAS) at the George Washington University and the Research Institute for Applied Knowledge Process

The image sequence is often met in the researches of computer vision and imageprocessing. Exploring the information concealed in the sequence of images may make some algorithms, such as enhancement ones, more effective and efficient. This paper derives a noval formula to enhance the image sequence. Having considered the heat diffusion equation of the deformable object, we derive a practical one for the enhancement of the sequence of images. Our method may converge faster while still keeps the locations of edges precise and sharp.
