This paper proposes a novel method for facial expression recognition based on neural network ensemble. The facial expression features are extracted firstly through multi-expression eigenspace analysis, and then several neural networks are trained each with an eigenspace of different expressions respectively. At last their training results are aggregated as inputs of the ensemble classifier, which will provide not only the final recognition results but also the estimated expression information. Simulation results on JAFEE dataset show that the recognition accuracy of the proposed approach is better than that of the best individual neural network.

In practical issues, categorical data and numerical data usually coexist, and a unified data reduction technique for hybrid data is desirable. In this paper, an information measure is proposed for computing the discernibility power of a categorical or numeric attribute. Based on the measure, a uniform definition of significance of attributes with categorical values and numerical values is proposed. Furthermore, an algorithm to obtain an attribute reduct from hybrid data is presented, and one of its accelerated version is also constructed. Experiments show that these two algorithms can get the same reducts, and the classification accuracies of reduced datasets are similar with the ones using Hu's algorithm. However, the accelerated version consumes much less time than the original one and Hu's algorithm do.

This paper presents a novel machine learning model-Kernel Granular Support Vector Machine (KGSVM), which combines traditional support vector machine (SVM) with granular computing theory. By dividing granules and replacing with them in kernel space, the datasets can be reduced effectively without changing data distribution. And then the generalization performance and training efficiency of SVM can be improved. Simulation results on UCI datasets demonstrate that KGSVM is highly scalable for large datasets and very effective in terms of classification.

Feature selection from incomplete data aims to retain the discriminatory power of original features in rough set theory. Many feature selection algorithms are computationally time-consuming. To overcome this drawback, we introduce a theoretic framework based on rough set theory, called positive approximation, which can be used to accelerate a heuristic process of feature selection from incomplete data. Based on the proposed accelerator, a general feature selection algorithm is designed. Through the use of the accelerator, several representative heuristic feature selection algorithms in rough set theory have been enhanced. Experiments show that these modified algorithms outperform their original counterparts.

A PDE (partial differential equation) based method, 3D active contour model, is presented to model the surface of protein structure. Instead of generating a single molecular surface, we create a series of surfaces associated with the atomic energy inside the protein, which describe different resolutions of molecular surface. Our results indicate that the surfaces we generated are suitable for shape analysis and visualization. So, when the solvent-accessible surface is not enough to represent the features of protein structure, the evolution surface sequence may be an alternative choice. Besides, if the initial surface is smooth enough, the generated surfaces will preserve this property partly, because the evolution of the surfaces is controlled by the PDE.

Information granulation and entropy theory are two main approaches to research uncertainty of an information system, which have been widely applied in many practical issues. In this paper, the characterizations and representations of information granules under various binary relations are investigated in information systems, an axiom definition of information granulation is presented, and some existing definitions of information granulation become its special forms. Entropy theory in information systems is further developed and the granulation monotonicity of each of them is proved. Moreover, the complement relationship between information granulation and entropy is established. This investigation unifies the results of measures for uncertainties in complete information systems and incomplete information systems.
In this paper, we focus on how to measure the consistency of an ordered decision table and the fuzziness of an ordered rough set and an ordered rough classification in the context of ordered information systems. The m...

One key point in atmospheric and environmental research today is forecasting of air quality because the health is impacted by the pollutants existing in urban air. Support vector machine (SVM) has been used in air quality prediction as a new learning method developed in recent years. The selection of kernel function is one of important branches in SVM researches. This paper presents a new kernel function based on time correlation for time series data, which incorporates the cyclical feature of time series into SVM. Simulation experiments demonstrate the presented kernel function can help to improve the fitting effect and obtain better generalization performance of SVR.
