Solar imaging is currently an active area of research. A fast hybrid system for the automated detection and classification of sunspot groups on MDI Continuum images using active regions data extracted from MDI Magnetogram images is presented in this paper. The system has three major stages: sunspots detection from MDI Continuum images, sunspots grouping and Mcintosh classification of sunspot groups. Image processing and machinelearning are integrated in all these stages.

The need for robust health monitoring and prognostics of structural components in remote or difficult-to-access locations, e.g. helicopter rotor-head structure, is driving the advancement of wireless intelligent sensor devices (WISD). Damage detection techniques, combined with advanced signal processing, are the core components of a structural health monitoring (SHM) system. In this context, feature extraction is an essential component of a SHM system that converts raw sensor data into useful information about the structure health condition. The level of signal processing that can be performed in a WISD depends on the capability of the processing element in terms of speed, memory and energy consumption. But the real bottleneck for energy efficiency is the fact that communications dominate the WISD energy consumption. Therefore, running intelligent local data interrogation algorithms on-board the WISD is a mechanism through which considerable battery power can be preserved. In that sense, in this paper a soft histogram feature extraction algorithm is developed to extract damage-sensitive information from measured response data of tie-bar component of the main rotor hub of a Lynx helicopter. In addition, a method for patternrecognition and critical degradation detection of tie-bar is proposed based on the extracted features and a combination of statistical process control and fuzzy sets theory. Results show the applicability of the proposed approaches.

Since the introduction of rough sets in 1982 by Professor Zdzisaw Pawlak, we have witnessed great advances in both theory and applications. Rough set theory is closely related to knowledge technology in a variety of forms such as knowledge discovery, approximate reasoning, intelligent and multiagent system design, knowledge intensive computations. The cutting-edge knowledge technologies have great impact on learning, patternrecognition, machine intelligence and automation of acquisition, transformation, communication, exploration and exploitation of knowledge. A principal thrust of such technologies is the utilization of methodologies that facilitate knowledge processing. To present the state-of-the-art scientific results, encourage academic and industrial interaction, and promote collaborative research in rough sets and knowledge technology worldwide, the 3rdinternationalconference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology will be held in Chengdu, China, May 17~19, 2008. It will provide a forum for researchers to discuss new results and exchange ideas, following the successful RSKT'06 (Chongqing, China) and JRS'07 (RSKT'07 together with RSFDGrC'07) (Toronto, Canada).

There are several approaches in trying to solve the Quantitative Structure-Activity (QSAR) problem. These approaches are based either on statistical methods or on predictive datamining. Among the statistical methods, one should consider regression analysis, patternrecognition (such as cluster analysis, factor analysis and principal components analysis) or partial least squares. Predictive datamining techniques use either neural networks, or genetic programming, or neuro-fuzzy knowledge. These approaches have a low explanatory capability or non at all. This paper attempts to establish a new approach in solving QSAR problems using descriptive datamining. This way, the relationship between the chemical properties and the activity of a substance would be comprehensibly modeled.

The low error rate of Naive Bayes (NB) classifier has been described as surprising. It is known that class conditional independence of the features is sufficient but not a necessary condition for optimality of NB. This study is about the difference between the estimated error and the true error of NB taking into account feature dependencies. Analytical results are derived for two binary features. Illustration examples are also provided.

datamining (DM) brings knowledge and theories from several fields including databases, machinelearning, optimization, statistics, and data visualization and has been applied to various real-life applications. A large amount of datamining articles have been published. The goal of this study is to establish an overview of the past and current datamining research activities from the title and abstract more than 1400 textual documents collected from premier datamining journals and conference proceedings. Specifically, this study applied document clustering approaches to determine which subjects had been studied over the last several years, which subjects are currently popular, and describe the longitudinal changes of datamining publications.

State failure has been traditionally defined as the collapse of national authority, which may be reflected in disasters such as wars and disruptive regime transitions. The availability of comprehensive datasets and the limitations exhibited by previous forecasting analyses led us to integrate different predictive resources and models through statistical analysis and machinelearning. Here we demonstrate the predictive ability of unsupervised and supervised learning approaches to detecting meaningful relationships between country cases, encoded by several socio-economic indicators, and the emergence of violent conflicts. Two clustering-based analyses (Kohonen maps and a network-based approach) provided the basis for exploratory analyses that confirmed hypotheses about the relevance of the data and the differences between state failure types. We also illustrate the potential of a novel network-based clustering approach for sub-class discovery in the area of political instability analysis. Furthermore, we show significant relationships between the emergence of violent conflicts and a dataset of quantitative indicators of good governance, which allows the design of effective supervised and unsupervised classifiers. This study contributes to the development of intelligent data analysis techniques for supporting hypothesis generation and testing in international conflict analyses.

Sensors have been used with various purposes in the human life. A sensor which can be functioned as a part of a signal process unit or a mechanical machine is defined as "a part of a measuring instrument which detects and responds immediately changes of a environment". As a sensor just reports the voltage level respect to detected physical or chemical quantity, it is needed to convert properly into meaning data. In most of cases, a sensor array, which consists of various kinds of sensors are used to detect a environment. There are two classes of methods to analyze signal patterns from a sensor array;the statistical method and the neural network method. One method has weak points comparing with another. One of each method's weak points is that most of statistical methods cannot consider shape characteristics of the signal pattern and neural network methods take too long time in the learning process. In spite of this weakness, the neural network process has been used in most of gas patternrecognition in recent studies. In this paper, we introduce a statistical method using state transition model for gas recognition. This paper focuses on making the accurate state transition model. We call this state transition model as ADSTM(Angle Difference based State Transition Model). Through various experiments, we analyze the proposed ADSTM modeling method. The results of experiments show that ADSTM is a fast and reliable statistical method for recognizing a signal pattern of the sensor array.
