There're many effective architectures of the artificial neural network(ANN). For which the training is a hard work. The cost for training an ANN increases exponentially when the ANN gets deeper or wider. We therefore propose a novel architecture, the Hybrid Learning Network(HLN), to achieve a fast learning with good stablity. The HLN can learn from both labeled data and unlabeled data at the same time in a hybrid learning manner. It uses a Self Organizing Map unified by the specially designed nonlinear function as the sparsity mask for a hidden layer to improve the training speed. We experiment our architecture on a synthetic dataset to test its regression capability against the traditional architecture, the result is promising. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Performance appraisal has always been an important research topic in human resource management. A reasonable performance appraisal plan lays a solid foundation for the development of an enterprise. Traditional performance appraisal programs are labor-based, lacking of fairness. Furthermore, as globalization and technology advance, in order to meet the fast changing strategic goals and increasing cross-functional tasks, enterprises face new challenges in performance appraisal. This paper proposes a datamining-based performance appraisal framework, to conduct an automatic and comprehensive assessment of the employees on their working ability and job competency. This framework has been successfully applied in a domestic company, providing a reliable basis for its human resources management.

An intrinsic association matrix is introduced to measure category-to-variable association based on proportional reduction of prediction error by an explanatory variable. The normalization of the diagonal gives rise to the expected rates of error-reduction and the off-diagonal yields expected distributions of the rates of error for all response categories. A general framework of association measures based on the proposed matrix is established using an application-specific weight vector. A hierarchy of equivalence relations defined by the association matrix and vector is shown. Applications to financial and survey data together with simulation results are presented.

Multiple kernel learning (MKL) serves as an attractive research direction in current kernel machine learning field. It can flexibly process diverse characteristics of patterns such as heterogeneous information or irregular data, non-flat distribution of high-dimensional samples etc. The existing MM. models are usually built on SVM. However, there is still potential to improve the performance of MKL instead of learning based on SVM. Nonparallel support vector machine (NPSVM), as a novel clasifier, pursues two nonparallel proximal hyperplanes with several incomparable advantages over the state-of-the-art classifiers. In this paper, we propose a new model termed as MKNPSVM for classification. By integrating NPSVM into the MKL framework, MKNPSVM inherits the advantages of them and opens a new perspective to extend NPSVM to the MKL field. To solve MKNPSVM efficiently, we provide an alternating optimization algorithm (Alter-MKNPSVM for short) as the solution. We theoretically analyze the performance of MKNPSVM from three viewpoints: the generalization capability analysis, the convergence analysis and the comparisons with NPSVM and MKL. Experimental results on eighteen publicly available UCI data sets confirm the effectiveness of our method. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A major approach for fingerprint matching today is based on minutiae. However, due to the lack of minutiae, their accuracy degrades significantly for partial-to-partial matching. We propose a novel matching algorithm that makes full use of the distinguishing information in partial fingerprint images. Our model employs the Phase-Only Correlation (POC) function to coarsely assign two fingerprints. Then we use a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with spatial pyramid pooling to measure the similarity of the overlap areas. Experiments indicate that our algorithm has an excellent performance.

Implicitizing rational surfaces is a fundamental computational task in Algorithmic Algebraic Geometry. Although the resultant of a mu-basis for a rational surface is guaranteed to contain the implicit equation of the surface as a factor, this resultant may also contain extraneous factors. Moreover, mu-bases for rational surfaces are, in general, notoriously difficult to compute. Here we develop fast algorithms to find mu-bases for rational tensor product surfaces whose resultants are guaranteed to be the implicit equation of the corresponding rational surface with no extraneous factors. We call these mu-bases strong mu-bases. Surfaces with strong mu-bases are relatively rare. We show how these strong mu-bases are related to the number of base points counting multiplicity of the corresponding surface parametrization. In addition, when the base points are simple, we provide tables of rational tensor product surfaces with strong mu-bases based on the bidegree of the rational surface and the number of base points of the parametrization. The bidegrees of the corresponding strong mu-bases are also listed in these tables. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper proposes a novel method for cross-modal retrieval. In addition to the traditional vector (text)-to-vector (image) framework, we adopt a matrix (text)-to-matrix (image) framework to faithfully characterize the structures of different feature spaces. Moreover, we propose a novel metric learning framework to learn a discriminative structured subspace, in which the underlying data distribution is preserved for ensuring a desirablemetric. Concretely, there are three steps for the proposed method. First, the multiorder statistics are used to represent images and texts for enriching the feature information. We jointly use the covariance (second-order), mean (first-order), and bags of visual (textual) features (zeroth-order) to characterize each image and text. Second, considering that the heterogeneous covariance matrices lie on the different Riemannian manifolds and the other features on the different Euclidean spaces, respectively, we propose a unified metric learning framework integrating multiple distance metrics, one for each order statistical feature. This framework preserves the underlying data distribution and exploits complementary information for better matching heterogeneous data. Finally, the similarity between the different modalities can be measured by transforming the multiorder statistical features to the common subspace. The performance of the proposed method over the previous methods has been demonstrated through the experiments on two public datasets.
