Most of the microarray expression data have tens of thousands of genes but very small number of samples. Feature selection has been widely used to extract the subset of informative genes. Though many feature selection...

This paper presents a biologically inspired local image descriptor that combines color and shape features. Compared with previous descriptors, red-cyan cells associated with L, M, and S cones (L for long, M for medium, and S for short) are used to indicate one of the opponent color channels. Stepping forward from state-of-the-art color feature extraction, we exploit a new approach to compute the color orientation and magnitudes of three opponent color channels, namely, red-green, blue-yellow, and red-cyan, in two-dimensional space. Color orientation is calculated in histograms with magnitude weighting. We linearly concatenate the four-color-opponent-channel histogram and scale-invariant-feamre-transform histogram in the final step. We apply our biologically inspired descriptor to describe the local image feature. Quantitative comparisons with state-of-the-art descriptors demonstrate the significant advantages of maintaining invariance to photometric and geometric changes in image matching, particularly in cases, such as illumination variation and image blurring, where more color contrast information is observed.

The rapid developments of chip-based technology have greatly improved human genetics and made routine the access of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) contributing to an informatics challenge. The characterization and interpretation of genes and gene-gene interactions that affect the susceptibility of common, complex multifactorial diseases is a computational and statistical challenge in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Various methods have been proposed, but they have dificulty to be directly applied to GWAS caused by excessive search space and intensive computational burden. In this paper, we propose an ant colony optimization (ACO) based algorithm by combining the pheromone updating rule with the heuristic information. We tested power performance of our algorithm by conducting suficient experiments including a wide range of simulated datasets experiments and a real genome-wide dataset experiment. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is time efficient and gain good performance in the term of the power of prediction accuracy. Copyright 2014 ACM.

With high expansibility and efficient power usage, tiered wireless sensor networks are widely deployed in many fields as an important part of Internet of Things (IoTs). It is challenging to process range query while protecting sensitive data from adversaries. Moreover, most existing work focuses on privacy-preserving range query neglecting collusion attacks and probability attacks, which are more threatening to network security. In this paper, we first propose a secure range query protocol called secRQ, which not only protects data privacy, but also resists collusion attacks and probability attacks in tiered wireless sensor networks. Generalized inverse matrices and distance-based range query mechanism are used to guarantee security as well as high efficiency and accuracy. Besides, we propose the mutual verification scheme to verify the integrity of query results. Finally, both theoretical analysis and experimental results confirm the security, efficiency and accuracy of secRQ.

The excellent feature set or feature combination of cotton foreign fibers is great significant to improve the performance of machine-vision-based recognition system of cotton foreign fibers. To find the excellent feature sets offoreign fibers, in this paper presents three metaheuristic-based feature selection approaches for cotton foreign fibers recognition, which are particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization and genetic algorithm, respectively. The k-nearest neighbor classifier and support vector machine classifier with k-fold cross validation are used to evaluate the quality offeature subset and identify the cotton foreign fibers. The results show that the metaheuristic-based feature selection methods can efficiently find the optimal feature sets consisting of a few features. It is highly significant to improve the performance of recognition system for cotton foreign fibers.

Ontologies, seen as effective representations for sharing and reusing knowledge, have become increasingly important in biomedicine, usually focusing on taxonomic knowledge specific to a subject. Efforts have been made to uncover implicit knowledge within large biomedical ontologies by exploring semantic similarity and relatedness between concepts. However, much less attention has been paid to another potentially helpful approach: discovering implicit knowledge across multiple ontologies of different types, such as disease ontologies, symptom ontologies, and gene ontologies. In this paper, we propose a unified approach to the problem of ontology based implicit knowledge discovery - a Multi-Ontology Relatedness Model (MORM), which includes the formation of multiple related ontologies, a relatedness network and a formal inference mechanism based on set-theoretic operations. Experiments for biomedical applications have been carried out, and preliminary results show the potential value of the proposed approach for biomedical knowledge discovery.

Sensor optimization is the problem of minimizing sensor activation in a controlled discrete event system. During the evolutionary process, the available resources are supposed to be limited. Therefore, sensors are activated by the agent when it is necessary. Sensor activation policies are the functions that determine which sensors are to be activated. One policy is considered to minimal, if any strictly less activation decided by the agent satisfies the feasibility. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to compute the minimal sensor activation policy. The algorithm, based on the operation of Reverse Change and the property of the Label-reached, calculates the minimal solution of sensor activation and achieves a lower complexity of computation relatively.
