This paper addresses the problem of active model selection for nonlinear dynamical systems. We propose a novel learning approach that selects the most informative subset of time-dependent variables for the purpose of Bayesian model inference. The model selection criterion maximizes the expected Kullback-Leibler divergence between the prior and the posterior probabilities over the models. The proposed strategy generalizes the standard D-optimal design, which is obtained from a uniform prior with Gaussian noise. In addition, our approach allows us to determine an information halting criterion for model identification. We illustrate the benefits of our approach by differentiating between 18 published biochemical models of the TOR signaling pathway, a model selection problem in systems biology. By generating pivotal selection experiments, our strategy outperforms the standard A-optimal, D-optimal and E-optimal sequential design techniques.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that has been a hot topic worldwide. Human neurological disorders can be modeled in animals like rats and monkeys using standardized procedures that recreate specific pathogenic events and their behavioral outcomes. Different methods have been proposed to detect and verify the efficiency and effectiveness of such models. However, the inner scheme to detect and predict PD at the early stage is still a difficult problem. In this paper, a Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) based approach for PD image detection and prediction is presented. Machine learning techniques are discussed that proved to be useful in detecting and predicting PD in animal models.

This paper presents artificial neural networks and particle swarm optimization (ANN-PSO) based short-term load forecasting model with improved generalization technique for the Regional Power Control Center of Saudi Electricity Company, Western Operation Area (SEC-WOA) of Saudi Arabia. Weather, load demand, wind speed, wind direction, heat, sunlight, etc. are quite different in a desert land than other places. Thus this model is different from a typical forecasting model considering inputs and outputs. In this research, two models are implemented - firstly load forecasting model for prediction;however, it is not sufficient for desired level of accurate forecasting, and secondly, optimization to improve the results up to at least better than existing results. This paper includes ANN and PSO models for 24-hours ahead load forecasting. ANN is a mathematical tool for mapping complex relations;it is well proved for the successful use of prediction, function approximation with dynamics, categorization, classification, and so forth. In this research, 24- step ahead calculations are performed in the ANN model and results are moderate. On the other hand, PSO is the most promising optimization tool. It is a swarmed based optimization method;it has better information sharing and conveying mechanism;it has better balance of local and global searching abilities;it can handle huge multi-dimensional optimization problems efficiently with hundreds of thousands of constraints. Thus PSO is chosen as the optimization tool that is applied on the weight matrix of ANN to improve results. In this research, PSO reliably and accurately tracks the continuously changing weights of ANN for uncertain load demand. By analyzing the model of ANN for the load-forecasting problem of SEC-WOA with hundreds of thousands of data and changing-uncertain load demand, the PSO is applied for the ANN weight adjustment and to optimize the uncertain load demand, as the ANN is not an optimization method.

Collaborative tagging has emerged as a useful means to organize and share resources on the Web. Recommender systems have been utilized tags for identifying similar resources and generate personalized recommendations. In this paper, we analyze social and behavioral aspects of a tag-based recommender system which suggests similar Web pages based on the similarity of their tags. Tagging behavior and language anomalies in tagging activities are some aspects examined from an experiment involving 38 people from 12 countries.

In the conventional method proposed by *** et al., it is difficult to satisfy both the capacity of watermark information and the robustness to MP3 compression. The objective of this work is to increase the capacity of watermark information in the audio watermarking based on low-frequency amplitude modification. We increase the capacity of watermark information by embedding multiple watermarks in individual layers. In the proposed method, it has plural data channels, so it is possible to embed watermark information by selecting the proper data channel according to the capacity of data or extraction accuracy.

A novel architecture is presented for the matching of Web-services based on the extraction of interpretation graphs from natural language text. The graphs of candidate services are compared to that of the query using a numerical node-node similarity calculation based on the structure of the graphs. The similarity score of their best alignment with the query may then be used to rank the candidates.

In this paper, we present an efficient and robust subspace learning based object tracking algorithm with special illumination handling. Illumination variances pose a great challenge to most of object tracking algorithms. In this paper, an edge orientation based feature has been proposed and proven to approximately invariant to illumination changes. Besides, we utilize the incremental subspace learning based particle filter framework which is effective to handle various appearance changes. To reduce the amount of computation when the particle number is large, a new layer of preprocessing step has been added to the particle filter framework with the help of edge orientation features. From the experimental m results, it is obvious that our proposed algorithm achieves promising performance especially in the scenarios with large illumination changes.

Recently, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms have been applied to improve the difficult tradeoff between interpretability and accuracy of fuzzy rule-based systems. It is known that both requirements are usually contradictory, however, these kinds of algorithms can obtain a set of solutions with different trade-offs. The application of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms to fuzzy rule-based systems is often referred to as multiobjective genetic fuzzy systems. The first study on multiobjective genetic fuzzy systems was multiobjective genetic fuzzy rule selection in order to simultaneously achieve accuracy maximization and complexity minimization. This approach is based on the generation of a set of candidate fuzzy classification rules by considering a previously fixed granularity or multiple fuzzy partitions with different granularities for each attribute. Then, a multiobjective evolutionary optimization algorithm is applied to perform fuzzy rule selection. Although the multiple granularity approach is one of the most promising approaches, its interpretability loss has often been pointed out. In this work, we propose a mechanism to generate single granularity-based fuzzy classification rules for multiobjective genetic fuzzy rule selection. This mechanism is able to specify appropriate single granularities for fuzzy rule extraction before performing multiobjective genetic fuzzy rule selection. The results show that the performance of the obtained classifiers can be even improved by avoiding multiple granularities, which increases the linguistic interpretability of the obtained models.
