Feature (or descriptor) extraction from images and videos is a very crucial task in almost all computervision systems. It consists of extracting characteristics describing important information in the images and videos. Different global (or holistic) methods such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) have been widely studied and applied but lately local descriptors (such as LBP, SIFT and Gabor) have gained more attention due to their robustness to challenges such as pose and illumination changes. This tutorial gives an exhaustive overview of different image and video descriptors which can be found in literature with an emphasis on the most recent developments in the field. The tutorial will then focus on one or two state-of-the-art descriptors to demonstrate step by step how to successfully apply them to various computervision problems such as biometrics, texture analysis, image and video retrieval, motion and activity analysis, human-computer interaction etc.

As a new kind of vehicles with low fuel cost and low emission, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has been given more and more attention in recent years. The key technique in the HEV is the optimal control strategy for the best performance. This paper proposed a new torque control strategy with charge buffer (TCSCB) to control the two power sources of the HEV. The TCSCB is based on the control of engine torque which make the control strategy easily distribute the output power to the engine and motor. In this control strategy, the real time optimization based on the engine efficiency map increases engine efficiency observably. The charge buffer reduces the dramatic fluctuation of the engine torque to improve the fuel economy. The prediction engine torque based on the neural network improves the control performance by the future information greatly. The simulation results showed the TCSCB could reach a higher fuel economy and lower emission compared to the current control strategies. In order to optimize the control performances, the parameters in the TCSCB were also discussed in details.

SMS communication is gaining increasing popularity in people's daily life. Along with the growing number of times people sending and receiving SMSs every day, there are also increasing unwanted interruption to people when they are busy with their work or feel less receptive to unimportant messages. Unfortunately, current SMS systems are unable to present notifications according to user's states and willingness of being interrupted. In this work, we develop a SMS system that intelligently determines a good way to present notifications to the user at a suitable time. A decision module is made to analyze the message content, the relation between the sender and the user, and the user state when a new message comes. The results of the decision module are used to implement a nicer notification and to reduce interruptions to a user's ongoing tasks.

Inspired from Biological Immune System, we propose a local concentration based feature extraction (LC) approach for anti-spam. A general anti-spam model is built to incorporate the LC approach with term selection methods and classifiers. In the LC model, each message is divided into areas by a sliding window. At each area, a two-dimensional feature is constructed by calculating the concentrations of spam and legitimate email. Then all the features of each area are combined together as a whole feature vector. Several experiments are conducted on four benchmark corpora, by using 10-fold cross-validation. It is shown that the LC approach can extract the effective position correlated information from messages. Compared to the prevalent Bag-of-Words approach, the LC has better performance in terms of both accuracy and F 1 measure. Most significantly, the LC approach can reduce feature dimensionality greatly and has much faster speed.

Background: MicroRNAs are a class of small noncoding RNAs that are abnormally expressed in different cancer cells. Molecular signature of miRNAs in different malignancies suggests that these are not only actively involved in the pathogenesis of human cancer but also have a significant role in patients survival. The differential expression patterns of specific miRNAs in a specific cancer tissue type have been reported in hundreds of research articles. However limited attempt has been made to collate this multitude of information and obtain a global perspective of miRNA dysregulation in multiple cancer ***: In this article a cancer-miRNA network is developed by mining the literature of experimentally verified cancer-miRNA relationships. This network throws up several new and interesting biological insights which were not evident in individual experiments, but become evident when studied in the global perspective. From the network a number of cancer-miRNA modules have been identified based on a computational approach to mine associations between cancer types and miRNAs. The modules that are generated based on these association are found to have a number of common predicted target onco/tumor suppressor genes. This suggests a combinatorial effect of the module associated miRNAs on target gene regulation in selective cancer tissues or cell lines. Moreover, neighboring miRNAs (group of miRNAs that are located within 50 kb of genomic location) of these modules show similar dysregulation patterns suggesting common regulatory pathway. Besides this, neighboring miRNAs may also show a similar dysregulation patterns (differentially coexpressed) in the cancer tissues. In this study, we found that in 67% of the cancer types have at least two neighboring miRNAs showing downregulation which is statistically significant (P < 10-7, Randomization test). A similar result is obtained for the neighboring miRNAs showing upregulation in specific cancer type. These resul

This paper details a methodology and preliminary results for applying a hierarchy of clustering units to mammographic image data. The identification of patients with breast cancer through the detection of microcalcifications and masses is a demanding classification problem; minimal false negatives are desired while simultaneously avoiding false positives that cause unnecessary cost to patients and health institutions. This research examines a segmented look at mammograms for computer aided detection with the goal of reliably labeling regions of interest requiring the attention of a radiologist. Classification is achieved by employing the building blocks, namely unsupervised clustering, of a deep learning architecture in tandem with a standard feed-forward neural network. Early results show promise for creating a classification engine that handles high-dimensional data with minimum engineering of image features, with a per-image patch sensitivity of 0.96 and specificity of 0.99.
