In order to self-organize symbols from observed motion patterns, it is necessary to temporally segment the continuous motion pattern flows into meaningful chunks. For reusability of the acquired information, repeatedly observed patterns are important, which means that segmentation, memorization, recognition and abstraction depend on each other. From this point of view, we propose methods for motion patterns of humanoid robots observed as a continuous flow using pattern correlations and associative memory. Initially, patterns are segmented by pattern correlations and then stored into the associative memory. Afterwards, only new kinds of motions are fed through this process. Associative memory is capable of segmentation, recognition and abstraction, and has ease in incremental update of the stroge for new patterns

Few of the current existing methods for unsupervised learning (clustering) algorithms consider clustering the data points in a low-dimensional subspace in real time. In this paper, we present a grid based clustering algorithm (GCA) with time complexity (O(n)). Unlike previous clustering algorithm, GCA pays more attention to the running time of the algorithm. GCA achieves low running time by (i) determiningthe number of the clusters according to the point density of the grid cell and (ii) computing the distances between the centers of the clusters and the grid cells, not the data points. In order to make GCA more efficient, principal component analysis (PCA) is introduced to transform the data points from high dimension to low dimension. Finally, we analyze the performance of GCA and show that it outperforms most of the current state-of-the-art methods in terms of efficiency. In particular, it outperforms k-means algorithm by several orders in the running time

In this study, we propose an improved semi-supervised support vector machine (SVM) based translation algorithm for brain-computer interface (BCI) systems, aiming at reducing the time-consuming training process and enhancing the adaptability of BCI systems. In this algorithm, we apply a semi-supervised SVM, which builds a SVM classifier based on small amounts of labeled data and large amounts of unlabeled data, to translating the features extracted from the electrical recordings of brain into control signals. For reducing the time to train the semi-supervised SVM, we improve it by introducing a batch-mode incremental training method, which also can be used to enhance the adaptability of online BCI systems. the off-line data analysis results demonstrated the effectiveness of our algorithm

Support Vector machines (SVMs) are new generation of machinelearning techniques and have shown strong generalization capability for many datamining tasks. SVMs can handle nonlinear classification by implicitly mapping input samples from the input feature space into another high dimensional feature space with a nonlinear kernel function. However, SVMs are not favorable for huge datasets with over millions of samples. Granular computing decomposes information in the form of some aggregates and solves the targeted problems in each granule. therefore, we propose a novel computational model called Clustering Support Vector machines (CSVMs) to deal withthe complex classification problems for huge datasets. Taking advantage of boththeory of granular computing and advanced statistical learning methodology, CSVMs are built specifically for each information granule partitioned intelligently by the clustering algorithm. this feature makes learning tasks for each CSVMs more specific and simpler. Moreover, CSVMs built particularly for each granule can be easily parallelized so that CSVMs can be used to handle huge datasets efficiently. the CSVMs model is used for predicting local protein tertiary structure. Compared withthe conventional clustering method, the prediction accuracy for local protein tertiary structure has been improved noticeably when the new CSVM model is used. the encouraging experimental results indicate that our new computational model opens a new way to solve the complex classification for huge datasets.

Gaze recognition for conversation robot is realized and its effectiveness is confirmed. In human conversation, in addition to speech information, visual information plays important role. Particularly, gaze direction is a very useful prompt for turn-taking. In the case that the speaker finish his utterance, for example, if he looks at the listener, then he expect the listener to speak. On the other hand, if the speaker does not look at the listener, he tries to keep his turn. Most conventional spoken dialogue systems detect the finish of user's turn only by speech recognition. these systems cannot understand the user tries to keep his turn, and they wrongly begin the utterance and block the user's remaining utterance. In this study, we implement the gaze recognition using the user's image captured by the camera mounted on the eye of the robot and apply the recognition results to decide who should speak next. For gaze recognition, we introduce the sub-image of user's eye region extracted withthe active appearance model as the feature. recognition with subspace method using this feature achieved 70% in recognition rate. Finally, the effectiveness of the gaze recognition is confirmed through the subjective experiment. the experiment is performed by the actual conversation between the conversation robot and the subject.

Mimesis is the theory that human intelligence originated in the interactive communication of motion recognition and generation through imitation. A mimesis model has been proposed using hidden Markov models (HMMs), which represent proto symbols. In our previous system, the user had to manually divided a sequence of motion into segments in order to embed each segment as an HMM. Automatic segmentation is essential for a system to autonomously learn and develop through imitation. In this paper, we propose an automatic motion segmentation method utilizing correlation among movements for a short time period. In addition, we show that it is possible to acquire proto symbols by providing the automatically segmented motion patterns withthe mimesis system

this paper presents a general architecture that allows a humanoid robot to imitate upper-body movements of a human demonstrator. this architecture integrates a mechanism to memorize novel behaviours executed by a human demonstrator, with a module to recognize and generate its own interpretation of already observed behaviours. Our imitator includes three biologically plausible components: i) an attention mechanism to autonomously extract relevant information from the visual input; ii) a supra-modal representation of the motion of observed body parts to map visual and motor domains; and iii) an active imitation module which involves the motor systems in the behaviour recognition process. Experimental results with a real humanoid robot demonstrate the ability of the proposed architecture to acquire novel behaviours and to recognize and reproduce previously memorized ones

Research in protein structure and function is one of the most important subjects in modem bioinformatics and computational biology. It often uses advanced datamining and machinelearning methodologies to perform prediction or patternrecognition tasks. this paper describes a new method for prediction of protein secondary structure content based on feature selection and multiple linear regression. the method develops a novel representation of primary protein sequences based on a large set of 495 features. the feature selection task performed using very large set of nearly 6,000 proteins, and tests performed on standard non-homologues protein sets confirm high quality of the developed solution. the application of feature selection and the novel representation resulted in 14-15% error rate reduction when compared to results achieved when standard representation is used. the prediction tests also show that a small set of 5-25 features is sufficient to achieve accurate prediction for both helix and strand content for non-homologous proteins.
