Nowadays, financial data on social networks play an important role to predict the stock market. However, the exponential growth of financial information on social networks such as Twitter has led to a need for new technologies that automatically collect and categorise large volumes of information in a fast and easy manner. The Natural Language processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis areas can solve this problem. In this respect, we propose a supervised machine learning method to detect the polarity of financial tweets. The method employs a set of lexico-morphological and semantic features, which were extracted with UMTextStats tool. Furthermore, we have conducted a comparison of the performance of three classification algorithms (J48, Bayes-Net, and SMO). The results showed that SMO provides better results than BayesNet and J48 algorithms, obtaining an F-measure of 73.2%.

An optimization algorithm for image recovery is a core issue in the field of compressive sensing (CS). This paper deeply studied the CS reconstruction algorithm based on split Bregman iteration with l(1) norm, which enables the l(1) norm to approximate the original l(0) norm during the optimization process. Consequently, we proposed another novel algorithm improving the precision and the convergence speed based on split quadratic Bregman iteration (SQBI) with l(0) norm. Besides, we analyzed its convergence by proving two monotonically decreasing theorems. Inspired by previous researches, we applied smoothed l(0) norm for the optimization problem to replace the traditional to norm in CS. The improvement is made by using a Gaussian function to approximate the l(0) norm, transforming it into a convex optimization problem, and eventually achieved a convergent solution by the steepest descent method. The experimental results show that under the same conditions, compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms, the reconstruction accuracy of the CS reconstruction algorithm based on the SQBI with smoothed l(0) norm is improved significantly, and its convergence rate is also accelerated as well.

Cancer has been plaguing the society for a long time and still there is no certain treatment;especially if detected in later stages. That is why early detection and treatment of cancer is of utmost importance. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a type of blood cancer which is known to progress very rapidly and prove fatal if there is a delay in detection. Detection of this type of cancer is carried out manually by observing the blood samples of patient under microscope and conducting various other tests. This process may produce undesirable drawbacks: slowness, non-standardized accuracy since it depends on examiner's / pathologist's capabilities and fatigue due to work overload can cause human errors in detection. A few automated systems for detection of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) have been proposed which involve extracting features from blood images using MATLAB and implementing different classifiers to produce results, which gave remarkable accuracies though not enough for practical usage. Our proposed system is further improving the classification accuracy. It uses openCV and skimage for imageprocessing to extract relevant features from blood image and not just sheer number of features and further classification is carried out using various classifiers: CNN, FNN, SVM and KNN of which CNN gives the highest accuracy of 98.33%. CNN and FNN are written using TensorFlow framework. The accuracies obtained by other classifiers: FNN, SVM, and KNN are 95.40%, 91.40% and 93.30% respectively.

Over the past few years, a lot of research has been carried out in eye gaze recognition and its applications. From controlling wheelchairs to selecting options on a screen, utilizing the gaze of an individual has become a long-sought way for performing these tasks and in turn making the life of several differently abled people easy. In this paper a novel methodology to perform iris segmentation and gaze recognition has been introduced and described. The method elaborated utilizes a segmentation algorithm which can successfully extract the iris under varying lighting conditions with the help of machine learning. All experiments were conducted using the MATLAB R2013a software and a speed improvement of almost 3.433 times was achieved as opposed to other popular methods of iris extraction. In terms of accuracy, the algorithm proved to be 86% accurate and was also adopted to control an actual wheelchair.

In this paper, we propose a low-cost wearable technology model to control and monitor chronic diseases for healthcare. We enhance prior models by focusing on low cost components, and we assess the current hardware and systems applications offered in the market. Our proposed model also emphasizes the application of real-time data analysis for the healthcare organization. The model consists of six components: 1. Data acquisition;2. Data processing;3. Information Results;4. Decision making Support;5. Technology Platform;6. Framework for personal data protection. The model was validated with a group of 12 females over 70 years who were diagnosed with tumors at different stages. The preliminary results show that the mean temperature difference between the armpits and malignant tumors is 0.7 +/- 0.5, while the mean temperature difference between the armpits and benign tumors is 2.1 +/- 0.5.

The number of affordable consumer unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) available on the market has been growing quickly in recent years. Uncontrolled use of such UAVs in the context of public events like sports events or demonstrations, as well as their use near sensitive areas, such as airports or correctional facilities pose a potential security threat. Automatic early detection of UAVs is thus an important task which can be addressed through multiple modalities, such as visual imagery, radar, audio signals, or UAV control signals. In this work we present an imageprocessing pipeline which is capable of tracking very small point targets in an overview camera, adjusting a tilting unit with a mounted zoom camera (PTZ system) to locations of interest and classifying the spotted object in this more detailed camera view. The overview camera is a high-resolution camera with a wide field of view. Its main purpose is to monitor a wide area and to allow an early detection of candidates, whose motion or appearance warrant a closer investigation. In a subsequent process these candidates are prioritized and successively examined by adapting the orientation of the tilting unit and the zoom level of the attached camera lens, to be able to observe the target in detail and provide appropriate data for the classification stage. The image of the PTZ camera is then used to classify the object into either UAV class or distractor class. For this task we apply the popular SSD detector. Several parameters of the detector have been adapted for the task of UAV detection and classification. We demonstrate the performance of the full pipeline on imagery collected by the system. The data contains actual UAVs as well as distractors, such as birds.

Distributed processing and control are critical to supports distributed intelligence and autonomy of multi-degree-of-freedom motion systems. Measurements and fusion of spatiotemporal physical quantities imply data-intensive computing and spatial distribution of computing resources to enable control and processing of large data sets from image and inertial sensors. We examine distributed and asynchronous processing nodes which process information independently deriving partial solutions. There are multiple sensing-and-processing nodes in each individual agent. Each node comprises solid-state or MEMS multi-degree-of-freedom sensors with ASICs which process and fuse data. On-node computing supports distributed processing. Adaptive bottom-up organization ensures data aggregation and data management with operation on sub-samples or hashed sets of large source datasets. Cooperative distributed processing is essential in centralized, decentralized and behavioral coordination. In the centralized organization, a central processor may not ensure adequacy. A network of semi-autonomous on-device processing sensors may interact to solve specific tasks and validate solutions. Problem allocation, partitioning, coordination and other tasks are implemented using software- and hardware-supported algorithms and protocols. This paper contributes to design of next generation of systems with distributed multi-node processing capabilities.
