This paper investigates the effect of diversity caused by Negative Correlation Learning (NCL) in the combination of neural classifiers and presents an efficient way to improve combining performance. Decision Templates and Averaging, as two non-trainable combining methods and Stacked Generalization as a trainable combiner are investigated in our experiments. Utilizing NCL for diversifying the base classifiers leads to significantly better results in all employed combining methods. Experimental results on five datasets from UCI repository indicate that by employing NCL, the performance of the ensemble structure can be more favorable compared to that of an ensemble use independent base classifiers.

Polar Harmonic Transform (PHT) is termed to represent a set of transforms those kernels are basic waves and harmonic in nature. PHTs consist of Polar Complex Exponential Transform (PCET), Polar Cosine Transform (PCT) and Polar Sine Transform (PST). They are proposed to represent invariant image patterns for two dimensional image retrieval and patternrecognition tasks. They are demonstrated to show superiorities comparing with other methods on describing rotation invariant patterns for images. Kernel computation of PHTs is also simple and has no numerical stability issue. However in order to increase the computation speed, fast computation method is needed especially for real world applications like limited computing environments, large image databases and realtime systems. This paper presents Fast Polar Harmonic Transforms (FPHTs) including Fast Polar Complex Exponential Transform (FPCET), Fast Polar Cosine Transform (FPCT) and Fast Polar Sine Transform (FPST) that are deduced based on mathematical properties of trigonometric functions. The proposed FPHTs are averagely over 6 similar to 8 times faster than PHTs that significantly boost computation process. The experimental results on both synthetic and real data are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed fast transforms.

The paper considers automatic visual recognition of signed expressions. The proposed method is based on modeling gestures with subunits, which is similar to modeling speech by means of phonemes. To define the subunits a data-driven procedure is applied. The procedure consists in partitioning time series, extracted from video, into subsequences which form homogeneous groups. The cut points are determined by an immune optimization procedure based on quality assessment of the resulting clusters. In the paper the problem is formulated, its solution method is proposed and experimentally verified on a database of 100 Polish words. The results show that our subunit-based classifier outperforms its whole-word-based counterpart, which is particularly evident when new words are recognized on the basis of a small number of examples.

Current trends in health management improvement demand the standardization of care protocols to achieve better quality and efficiency. The use of Clinical Pathways is an emerging solution for that problem. However, current Clinical Pathways are big manuals written in natural language and highly affected by human subjectivity. These problems make the deployment and dissemination of them extremely difficult in real practice environments. In this work, a complete computer based architecture to help the representation and execution of Clinical Pathways is suggested. Furthermore, the difficulties inherent to the design of formal Clinical Pathways in this way requires new specific design tools to help making the system useful. Process Mining techniques can help to automatically infer processes definition from execution samples. Yet, the classical Process Mining paradigm is not totally compatible with the Clinical Pathways paradigm. In this paper, a patternrecognition algorithm based in an evolution of the Process Mining classical paradigm is presented and evaluated as a solution to this situation. The proposed algorithm is able to infer Clinical Pathways from execution logs to support the design of Clinical Pathways.

This paper presents a method to improve the search rate of Max-Min Ant System for the traveling salesman problem. The proposed method gives deviations from the initial pheromone trails by using a set of local optimal solutions calculated in advance. Max-Min Ant System has demonstrated impressive performance, but the rate of search is relatively low. Considering the generic purpose of stochastic search algorithms, which is to find near optimal solutions subject to time constraints, the rate of search is important as well as the quality of the solution. The experimental results using benchmark problems with 51 to 318 cities suggested that the proposed method is better than the conventional method in both the quality of the solution and the rate of search.
