Gabor filters are generally regarded as the most bionic filters corresponding to the visual perception of human. Their filtered coefficients thus are widely utilized to represent the texture information of irises. However, these wavelet-based iris representations are inevitably being misaligned in iris matching stage. In this paper, we try to improve the characteristics of bionic Gabor representations of each iris via combining the local Gabor features and the key-point descriptors of Scale Invariant Feature Transformation (SIFT), which respectively simulate the process of visual object class recognition in frequency and spatial domains. A localized approach of Gabor features is used to avoid the blocking effect in the process of image division, meanwhile a SIFT key point selection strategy is provided to remove the noises and probable misaligned key points. For the combination of these iris features, we propose a support vector regression based fusion rule, which may fuse their matching scores to a scalar score to make classification decision. The experiments on three public and self-developed iris datasets validate the discriminative ability of our multiple bionic iris features, and also demonstrate that the fusion system outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.

One of the major problems of axiom pinpointing for incoherent terminologies is the precise positioning within the conflict axioms. In this paper we present a formal notion for the entailment-based axiom pinpointing of incoherent terminologies, where the parts of an axiom is defined by atomic entailment. Based on these concepts, we prove the one-to-many relationship between existing axiom pinpointing with the entailment-based axiom pinpointing. For its core task, calculating minimal unsatisfiable entailment, we provide algorithms for OWL DL terminologies using incremental strategy and Hitting Set Tree algorithm. The feasibility of our method is shown by case study and experiment evaluations.

Based on the vast domain resources of RDF (S) on the web and SPARQL's powerful query ability, this article presents a new method of designment of E-R model. The steps for this design are: (1) Formu- lating SPARQL rules (including resource query rules and schema query rules) by the analysis of RDF (S)'s structure. (2) Parsing the optimal resource obtained through the query sentences. (3) Completing the de- signment by taking advantages of the translation from RDF (S) model to entity-relationship model in accordance with the content queried. The re- sults indicate that, the designment of E-R model based on RDF (S) could restore user real requirements of great possibilities and help database de- signer to complete design in a strange area.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a kind of imaging modality, which offers clearer images of soft tissues than computed tomography (CT). It is especially suitable for brain disease detection. It is beneficial to detect diseases automatically and accurately. We proposed a pathological brain detection method based on brain MR images and online sequential extreme learning machine. First, seven wavelet entropies (WE) were extracted from each brain MR image to form the feature vector. Then, an online sequential extreme learning machine (OS-ELM) was trained to differentiate pathological brains from the healthy controls. The experiment results over 132 brain MRIs showed that the proposed approach achieved a sensitivity of 93.51%, a specificity of 92.22%, and an overall accuracy of 93.33%, which suggested that our method is effective.

In previous studies, non-distance-dependent surveillance strategies have improved the performance of contagious outbreaks detection. In this paper, we propose a new distance-dependent strategy that does not require ascertainment of global or local network structure, namely, simply monitoring the relative significance difference of randomly selected individuals in school and workplace. To evaluate whether such two group could indeed provide early detection, we studied a flu outbreak in contact network simulation experiments. Our experimental results show that this method could provide significant additional time to react to epidemics, especially when the infection rate is not large.

We consider a modular method to reinforcement learning that represents uncertainty of model parameters by maintaining probability distributions over them. The algorithm we call MBDP (model-based Bayesian dynamic programming) can be decomposed into two parallel types of inference: model learning and policy learning. During learning a model, we update posterior distributions of a model over observations after taking an action in each state. During learning a policy, we solve MDPs by dynamic programming with greedy approximation to make an agent choose behaviors which maximize return under the estimated model. Furthermore, we propose a principled method which utilizes the variance of Dirichlet distributions for determining when to learn and relearn the model. We demonstrate that MBDP can find near optimal policies with high probability by sufficient model learning and experimental results show that MBDP performs better compared with current state-of-the-art methods in reinforcement learning.
