Classification of motor imagery electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most important technologies for BCI. To improve the accuracy, this paper introduces a classification system based on Multilayer Extreme Learning Machine (ML-ELM). In the system, the combination of PCA and LDA is chosen as the method of feature extraction and the ML-ELM is used to classify. The ML-ELM has not only the advantage which ELM has but also better performance than ELM. In the experiment, our method is compared with the methods based on ELM, such as kernel-ELM, Constrained-ELM and V-ELM, and some state-of–the-art methods on the same dataset. The experimental results show that ML-ELM is much more suitable for motor imagery EEG data and has better performance than the others.

Automatic classification of Human Epithelial Type-2 (HEp-2) specimen patterns is an important yet challenging problem in medical image analysis. Most prior works have primarily focused on cells images classification problem which is one of the early essential steps in the system pipeline, while less attention has been paid to the classification of whole-specimen ones. In this work, a specimen pattern recognition system combining convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and pattern histogram was proposed. The pattern histograms were obtained based on the prediction of each single cell inside the specimens. Two strategies were designed to predicted the pattern of a whole specimen: 1) the most dominant cell pattern in pattern histogram was represented as the specimen pattern, 2) the pattern histograms were employed as bags of patterns and then were trained and predicted separately by a SVM classifier. Experimental results show that the proposed system is effective and achieves high classification accuracy on public benchmark datasets. We further evaluate the robustness of the proposed framework by testing trained CNNs on another different dataset, demonstrating that the system is robust to inter-lab data.

Recent years,an amount of tourism micro-blog comments on the Internet have become an important source of information for potential customers and to improve the service quality. These micro-blog comments do help to research tourism resources or services before making decisions. Thus,sentiment analysis of tourism micro-blog comments has become a hot issue in the field of natural language processing and text mining. We designed a system called SASTMC by using web crawler,Chinese words segmentation,emotion words dictionary and an improved TF-IDF algorithm. It enhances expression ability of sentiment information of text words. Experiments on Sina micro-blog comments datasets demonstrate that our method can do the task well.

Human saccade is a dynamic process of information pursuit. There are many methods using either global context or local context cues to model human saccadic scan-paths. In contrast to them, this paper introduces a model for gaze movement control using both global and local cues. To test the performance of this model, an experiment is done to collect human eye movement data by using an SMI iVIEW X Hi-Speed eye tracker with a sampling rate of 1250 Hz. The experiment used a two-by-four mixed design with the location of the targets and the four initial positions. We compare the saccadic scan-paths generated by the proposed model against human eye movement data on a face benchmark dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the simulated scan-paths by the proposed model are similar to human saccades in term of the fixation order, Hausdorff distance, and prediction accuracy for both static fixation locations and dynamic scan-paths.

Erasure coding has been increasingly used by distributed storage systems to maintain fault tolerance with low storage redundancy. However, how to enhance the performance of degraded reads in erasure-coded storage has been a critical issue. We revisit this problem from two different perspectives that are neglected by existing studies: data placement and encoding rules. To this end, we propose an encoding-aware data placement (EDP) approach that aims to reduce the number of I/Os in degraded reads during a single failure for general XOR-based erasure codes. EDP carefully places sequential data based on the encoding rules of the given erasure code. Trace-driven evaluation results show that compared to two baseline data placement methods, EDP reduces up to 37.4% of read data on the most loaded disk and shortens up to 15.4% of read time.

Cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) are a new class of test models developed for educational assessment. They have gained growing attention in recent years for their distinctive ability to provide detailed feedback about examinees' ability. Automatic test assembly (ATA), as in other test models, has been one of the most critical issues in the development and applications of CDMs. However, developing ATA methods for CDMs is especially challenging because no close-form expressions can measure the quality of a test form based on the items used. Although some heuristic methods have been proposed for building a single test form of CDMs, few ATA methods can construct uniform test forms of CDMs, in which each test form contains a different set of items but meets equivalent demand of test quality. In order to fill the gap, this paper proposes a novel genetic algorithm (GA) for constructing uniform test forms of CDMs. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method is validated on a synthetic item pool under different conditions.

Time series clustering is widely applied in various areas. Existing researches focus mainly on distance measures between two time series, such as dynamic time warping （DTW） based methods, edit-distance based methods, and shapelets-based methods. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, that no single distance measure performs significantly better than others on clustering datasets of time series where spectral clustering is used. As such, a question arises as to how to choose an appropriate measure for a given dataset of time series. To answer this question, we propose an integration scheme that incorporates multiple distance measures using semi-supervised clustering. Our approach is able to integrate all the measures by extracting valuable underlying information for the clustering. To the best of our knowledge, this work demonstrates for the first time that the semi-supervised clustering method based on constraints is able to enhance time series clustering by combining multiple distance measures. Having tested on clustering various time series datasets, we show that our method outperforms individual measures, as well as typical integration approaches.
