In this paper, we present a multiple targets classification system for visual concepts detection and image annotation. Multiple targets classification (MTC) is a variant of classification where an instance may belong to multiple classes at the same time. The system is composed of two parts: feature extraction and classification/annotation. The feature extraction part provides global and local descriptions of the images. These descriptions are then used to learn a classifier and to annotate an image with the corresponding concepts. To this end, we use predictive clustering trees (PCTs), which are capable to classify an instance to multiple classes at once, thus exploit the interactions that may occur among the different visual concepts (classes). Moreover, we constructed ensembles (random forests) of PCTs, to improve the predictive performance. We tested our system on the image database from the visual concept detection and annotation task part of ImageCLEF 2010. The extensive experiments conducted on the benchmark database show that our system has very high predictive performance and can be easily scaled to large number of images and visual concepts.

The scaffolding of a complete lattice L of finite length was introduced by Rudolf Wille in 1976 as a relative subsemilattice of L that can be constructed using subdirect decomposition. The lattice is uniquely defined by its scaffolding and can be reconstructed from it. Using bonds, we demonstrate how the scaffolding can be constructed from a given formal context and thereby extend the notion of the scaffolding to doubly founded lattices. Further, we explain the creation of a suitable graphical representation of the scaffolding from the context.

Everyday human communication relies on a large number of different communication mechanisms like spoken language, facial expressions, body pose or gestures. Facial expressions are one of the main communication mechanisms and pass large amounts of information between human dialogue partners [22]. Therefore, the analysis and the synthesis of facial expressions are important steps towards an intuitive human-machine interaction and form valuable research targets. We present a system that tackles both challenges. It relies on a fully automated, model-based, real-time capable approach to distinguish universal facial expressions and their intensities from camera images. Facial expression synthesis is conducted via the robot head EDDIE, a flexible low-cost emotion-display with 23 degrees of freedom. Static facial expressions at continuous intensities are included, as well as smooth transitions based on the circumplex model of affect. Miniature off-the-shelf mechatronic components are used to provide high functionality at low cost. Evaluations conducted in a user-study show that emotions displayed by EDDIE are recognizable by humans very well. By combining facial expression recognition and display on the robot, a first demonstration is presented in which the robot mirrors the human's emotions, as a basis for further research in the field of emotional closed loop systems.

In update intensive main memory database applications, huge volume of log records is generated, to maintain the ACID properties of the database system, the log records should be persistent efficiently. Delegating logging of one main memory database to another main memory database is proposed. The scheme is elaborated in detail in terms of architecture, logging & safeness levels, checkpointing, and recovery. Strict durability and relax durability are provided. When some form of non-volatile memory is used to temporarily holding log records, not only logging efficiency is improved, but also the scheme could guarantee full ACID of the system. We also propose using parallel logging to speedup log persistence by writing logs to multiple disks in parallel. Since interconnection network techniques progress by leaps and bounds, the scheme eliminates the concern about whether the system's overall performance may be slowed down by bandwidth and latency limitations. Experiment results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposal.

For the optimization problem about triangulation of Bayesian networks, a novel genetic algorithm, DHGA, is proposed in this paper. DHGA employs a heuristic-based mutation operation. Moreover, it uses population diversity to identify stagnation and convergence as well as to guide the search procedure. Experiments on representative benchmarks show that DHGA posses better performance and robustness than other swarm intelligence methods.
