the new diagnosis method employs a classical PD measurement system consisting of a coupling capacitor, measuring impedance, and a "wideband" integrator, cascaded by an artificial network evaluation. Upon passing a polarity detection unit, the output signal of the "wideband" integrator is recorded via a digital storage oscilloscope which simultaneously serves as an interface to the subsequent computer-aided evaluation. the personal computer stores the PD-values in a phase resolving PD-matrix. After sufficient learning with training matrices the system recognizes different fault types with high probability. the recognition likelihood of trained patterns is almost 100 percent and of a new pattern approximately 90 percent, depending on boththe number of training matrices and the repetition rate. the implemented artificial neural network is composed of a three layer backpropagation algorithm withthreshold units and a recognition volume of up to 16 fault types. To guarantee the highest individual detection rate, each fault type must be trained withthe same number of matrices. thereafter, the network is able to recognize previously learned fault types without any other data pre- or post-processing, i.e. the diagnosis system relies exclusively on patternrecognition.< >

A benchmark study of two self-organizing artificial neural network models, ART2 and DIGNET, is conducted. the architecture differences and learning procedures between these two models are compared. the performance of ART2 and DIGNET on data clustering and patternrecognition problems with noise or interference is investigated by computer simulations. It is shown that DIGNET generally has faster learning and better clustering performance on the statistical patternrecognition problems. DIGNET has a simpler architecture, and the system parameters can be analytically determined from the self- organizing process. the threshold value used in DIGNET can be specifically determined from a given lower bound on the desirable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A modified model based on the features of ART2 and DIGNET is also derived and investigated. the simpler architecture combines the ART2 structure withthe advantages of DIGNET model. the concepts of well depth and stage age originally introduced in DIGNET are applied in the modified model. the modified model preserves the features of noise suppression, contrast enhancement and self- organizing stable patternrecognition of ART2, yet provides a specific method to adjust parameters in the network. the network performs a variant of K-means learning, but without the knowledge of a priori information on the actual number of clusters. the networks discussed in this paper are applied and benchmarked against clustering and patternrecognition problems. Comparative simulation results of the networks are also presented.

In this paper, we deal withthe problem of 2D shape description, in particular, with contour partitioning, grouping, and classification in terms of straight and curved, based on the Minimum Description Length (MDL) criterion and shape (line, ellipse) fitting techniques. Using the MDL criterion, we can derive, for a given data set and a class of models, a description which best explains the data. We also develop a new algorithm for fitting 2D points to ellipse.

We develop techniques for recognizing instances of 3D object classes (which may consist of multiple and/or repeated subparts with internal degrees of freedom, linked by parameterized transformations), from sets of 3D features observations. recognition of a class instance is structured as a search of an interpretation tree in which geometric constraints on pairs of sensed features not only prune the tree, but are used to determine upper and lower bounds on the model parameter values of the instance. A real-valued constraint propagation network unifies the representations of the model parameters, model constraints and feature constraints, and provides a simple and effective mechanism for accessing and updating parameter values. recognition of objects with multiple internal degrees of freedom, including non-uniform scaling and stretching, articulations, and subpart repetitions, is demonstrated for two different types of real range data: 3D edge fragments from a stereo vision system, and position/surface normal data derived from planar patches extracted from a range image.

patterntheory is a combination of patternrecognition, machinelearning, switching theory, and computational complexity technologies withthe central theme that the pattern in a function can be found by minimizing the complexity of a particular generalized representation. the sense of `pattern' used in patterntheory has been demonstrated to be very robust. this paper develops a patterntheoretic approach to image restoration. We assume that an original, patterned, binary image has been corrupted by additive noise and is given as a gray-scale image. the decision theoretic approach to restoration would be simply to threshold the gray- scale image to regain a binary image. the patterntheoretic approach is to use two thresholds. these thresholds separate the pixels into three classes: pixels that were very probably white, pixels that were very probably black, and pixels that we are less certain about. We then use only those pixels that we are confident about and find the pattern based on those pixels. Finally, we use this pattern to extrapolate through the pixels that are uncertain. the amount of noise that can be abated depends on the strength of the underlying pattern. this relationship is developed for uniform and normal noise distributions.

the problem of scale in shape from texture is addressed. the need for (at least) two scale parameters is emphasized;a local scale describing the amount of smoothing used for suppressing noise and irrelevant details when computing primitive texture descriptors from image data, and an integration scale describing the size of the region in space over which the statistics of the local descriptors is accumulated. A novel mechanism for automatic scale selection is proposed, based on normalized derivatives. the resulting texture description can be combined with various assumptions about surface texture in order to estimate local surface orientation. Two specific assumptions, 'weak isotropy' and 'constant area', ar explored in more detail. Experiments on real and synthetic reference data with known geometry demonstrate the viability of the approach.

We use connectionist modeling to develop an analysis of stress systems in terms of ease of learnability. In traditional linguistic analyses, learnability arguments determine default parameter settings based on the feasibilty of logically deducing correct settings from an initial state. Our approach provides an empirical alternative to such arguments. Based on perceptron learning experiments using data from nineteen human languages, we develop a novel characterization of stress patterns in terms of six parameters. these provide both a partial description of the stress pattern itself and a prediction of its learnability, without invoking abstract theoretical constructs such as metrical feet. this work demonstrates that machinelearning methods can provide a fresh approach to understanding linguistic phenomena.
