Biometrics-based hand authentication is among the most popular biometrics used to automatically characterize a person especially in forensic applications. Hand recognition systems are able to confirm or deny the identity of a claimed person because they do not cause anxiety for the users. However, different individuals may have almost similar hands. therefore, the performance of the hand verification process depends highly on the hand descriptors. In this paper, we propose a new approach for personal verification based on Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). this transform proved its high distinction and efficiency in many applications especially in object recognition and video tracking. Two public databases have been used to evaluate performances. Experimental results show promising recognition rates by achieving 94% for IITD hand database and 98% for Bosphorus hand database.

In social media, many existing websites (e.g., Flickr, YouTube, and Facebook) are for users to share their own interests and opinions of many popular events, and success-fully facilitate the event generation, sharing and propagation. As a result, there are substantial amounts of user-contributed media data (e.g., images, videos, and textual content) for a wide variety of real-world events of different types and scales. the aim of this paper is to automatically identify the interesting events from massive social media data, which are useful to browse, search and monitor social events by users or governments. To achieve this goal, we propose a novel multi-modal supervised latent dirichlet allocation (mm-SLDA) for social event classification. Our proposed mm-SLDA has a number of advantages. (1) It can effectively exploit the multi-modality and the multi-class property of social events jointly. (2) It makes use of the supervised social event category label information and is able to classify multi-class social event directly. We evaluate our proposed mm-SLDA on a real world dataset and show extensive experimental results, which demonstrate that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Copyright 2014 ACM.

In this paper, we propose a modified Hybrid Naïve Possibilistic Classifier (HNPC) for heart disease detection from the heterogeneous data (numerical and categorical) of the Cleveland dataset. the proposed classifier is based on a different pattern with regard to our former HNPC which have been recently proposed to deal withthe same problem. As HNPC, the modified classifier separates data into two subsets (numerical and categorical) and then estimates possibility beliefs using the two versions of the probability-possibility transformation method of Dubois ets al. for numerical and categorical data, respectively. However, unlike HNPC which is based on two fusion steps to make decision from possibility estimations, our new classifier performs a common fusion to combine these beliefs. During this fusion, the product and the minimum as main combination operators for possibility measures are investigated. Experimental evaluations on the Cleveland dataset show that the proposed modified HNPC may outperform the former HNPC as well as the main classification techniques which have been used in recent related work.

Facial occlusions such as eyeglasses, hairs and beards decrease the performance of face recognition algorithms. To improve the performance of face recognition algorithms, this paper proposes a novel framework of face recognition combined withthe occluded-region detection method. In this paper, we detect occluded regions using Fast-Weighted Principal Component Analysis (FW- PCA) and use the occluded regions as weights for matching face images. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we use two face recognition algorithms: Local Binary patterns (LBP) and Phase-Only Correlation (POC). Experimental evaluation using public face image databases indicates performance improvement of the face recognition algorithms for face images with natural and artificial occlusions.

Deformation of iris pattern caused by pupil dilation and contraction is one of the most influential intra-class variations. Most state-of-the-art iris recognition methods only focus on the description of local iris texture features. We believe that both geometric and photometric features are important to achieve a robust matching result of deformed iris images. this paper proposes to decompose iris images into lowpass and bandpass components using nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and then extract different features. Geometric features are extracted in bandpass components based on key point detection to align deformed iris patterns. And then aligned Ordinal features are extracted in lowpass components to characterize the ordinal measures of local iris regions. Finally, key point features in bandpass components and Ordinal features in lowpass components are fused for deformed iris image matching. Extensive experiments on two challenging iris image databases namely CASIA-Iris-Lamp and ICE'2005 demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in deformed iris recognition.

DNA sequences recognition is a key problem in bioinformatics and biomedical informatics. In this paper, we solve this problem by use of the probability method and metric instead of traditional frequency metric because the characters in DNA alphabet set meet the Markov properties. For this purpose, transition probabilities, transition matrixes, and log odds ratios are defined. And then, we put forward our sequence recognition algorithm based on the Markov model (SRM), which has better performance on time complexity than some sequence alignment algorithms in the same field. the results of the contrast experiments show that our SRM algorithm can recognize DNA sequences correctly and effectively without any ambiguities.

Many-core accelerator chips are becoming increasingly popular these days for its high performance floating-point performance exceeding 1 Tflops per chip. Aho-Corasick (AC) is a multiple patterns string matching algorithm commonly used in computer and network security, bioinformatics, among others. In order to simultaneously match a number of string patterns with respect to the input text data, a Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) is constructed from a given set of pattern strings. the DFA is referenced almost randomly, whereas the input data is sequentially accessed. As the number of pattern strings increases, the irregular DFA accesses lead to poor cache locality and low overall performance. In this paper, we present a cache locality optimizing parallelization on the many-core accelerator chip, the Intel Xeon Phi. A given set of pattern strings is partitioned into into multiple sets of a smaller number of patterns so that multiple small DFAs are constructed instead of single large DFA. the accesses to multiple small DFAs lead to significantly smaller cache footprints in each core's cache and result in impressive performance improvements. Experimental results on the Intel Xeon Phi 5110P show that our approach delivers up to 2.00 × speedup compared withthe previous approach using single large DFA.
