A novel data-driven sparse generalized linear model (GLM) and statistical analysis method for fMRI is developed. Although independent component analysis (ICA) has been broadly applied to fMRI to separate spatially or temporally independent components, recent studies show that ICA does not guarantee independence of simultaneously occurred distinct activity patterns in the brain and sparsity of the signal has been shown to be more important. Motivated from the ICA and biological findings such as sparse coding in the primary visual cortex simple cells, we propose a compressed sensing based data-driven sparse GLM solely based upon the sparsity of the signal. It enables estimation of spatially adaptive design matrix from sparse signal components that represent synchronous neural hemodynamics. Furthermore, an MDL based model order selection rule can determine unknown sparsity for sparse dictionary learning.

Recognizing handwritten mathematical content in classroom videos poses a range of interesting challenges. In this paper, we focus on improving the character recognition accuracy in such videos using a combination of video and audio based text recognizers. We propose a two step assembly consisting of a video text recognizer (VTR) as the primary character recognizer and an audio text recognizer (ATR) for disambiguating, if needed, the output of the VTR. We propose techniques for (1) detecting ambiguity in the output of the VTR so that a combination with the ATR may be triggered only for ambiguous characters, (2) synchronizing the output of the two recognizers for enabling combination, and (3) combining the options generated by the two recognizers using measurement and rank based methods. We have implemented the system using an open source implementation of a character recognizer and a commercially available phonetic word-spotter. Through experiments conducted using video recorded in a classroom-like environment, we demonstrate the improvement in the character recognition accuracy that can be achieved using our approach.

Recognizing handwritten mathematical content is a challenging problem, and more so when such content appears in classroom videos. However, given the fact that in such videos the handwritten text and the accompanying audio refer to the same content, a combination of a video and an audio based recognizer has the potential to significantly improve the content recognition accuracy. In this paper, using a combination of video and audio based recognizers, we focus on improving the character recognition accuracy in such videos and propose: (1) synchronization techniques for establishing a correspondence between the handwritten and the spoken content, and (2) combination techniques for combining the outputs of the video and audio based recognizers. The current implementation of the system makes use of a modified open source text recognizer and a commercially available phonetic word-spotter. For evaluation purposes, we use videos recorded in a classroom-like environment and our experiments demonstrate the significant improvements (≈ 24% relative increase as compared to the baseline video based recognizer) in character recognition accuracy that can be achieved using our techniques.

In traffic monitoring applications, traffic speed is an important parameter of traffic management. The method for traffic speed measurement using video based on Spatio-Temporal (ST) model and frequency domain analysis is proposed in this paper. This method is designed to be able to measure the traffic speed in every pattern of road. The novel of proposed method is unfolding the edge information on ST model and analyse them in frequency domain to determine traffic speed. The proposed method is evaluated by compare with actual speed. The traffic speed is measured accurately 97.1%.

Tensor decomposition approach to feature extraction from one-dimensional data samples is presented. One-dimensional data samples are transformed into matrices of appropriate dimensions that are further concatenated into a third order tensor. This tensor is factorized according to the Tucker-2 model by means of the higher-order-orthogonal iteration (HOOI) algorithm. Derived method is validated on publicly available and well known datasets comprised of low-resolution mass spectra of cancerous and non-cancerous samples related to ovarian and prostate cancers. The method respectively achieved, in 200 independent two-fold cross-validations, average sensitivity of 96.8% (sd 2.9%) and 99.6% (sd 1.2%) and average specificity of 95.4% (sd 3.5%) and 98.7% (sd 2.9%). Due to the widespread significance of mass spectrometry for monitoring protein expression levels and cancer prediction it is conjectured that presented feature extraction scheme can be of practical importance.

In the past decade there has been a great interest in a synthesis-based model for signals, based on sparse and redundant representations. Such a model assumes that the signal of interest can be composed as a linear combination of few columns from a given matrix (the dictionary). An alternative analysis-based model can be envisioned, where an analysis operator multiplies the signal, leading to a cosparse outcome. In this paper, we consider this analysis model, in the context of a generic missing data problem (e.g., compressed sensing, inpainting, source separation, etc.). Our work proposes a uniqueness result for the solution of this problem, based on properties of the analysis operator and the measurement matrix. This paper also considers two pursuit algorithms for solving the missing data problem, an L1-based and a new greedy method. Our simulations demonstrate the appeal of the analysis model, and the success of the pursuit techniques presented.

How to make use of limited memory space and processing speeds of computer for rapid and accurate data mining has become an important research topic on the stream data cluster analysis. A stream data clustering algorithm based on the minimum spanning tree (MSTSC) is described. MSTSC is divided into online processing and offline clustering. Stream data are analyzed online by using two groups of processing unit respectively. In offline process clusters is taken as representative objects, and the minimum spanning tree algorithm is used in offline clustering. MSTSC can improve the clustering quality on non-spherical clusters. Some experiments are carried out in both real data sets and synthetic data sets. Results show that MSTSC algorithm not only can deal with non-spherical clusters effectively, but also has better efficiency and clustering quality. In addition, MSTSC is insensitive to order of input data, and has a good effect for skewed class distributions.

Prediction of the amino acids that have a catalytic effect on the enzymes is a major stage in appointing the activity of the enzymes and classification. The biological activity of a protein usually depends on the existence of a small number of amino acids. Recently, many algorithms have been proposed in the literature for finding these amino acids which are complex and time consuming. In this paper, we will introduce a new method for predicting the active sites that will use the spatial coordinates and the type of amino acids that contain the active sites. In order to increase the speed we use an approximate graph isomorphism algorithm. Furthermore, this algorithm allows us to find several active sites for a protein and order them according to a RMSD (Root Mean Square Deviation) number which has several applications in biology.

This paper presents a cursive Arabic text recognition system. The system decomposes the document image into test line images and extracts a set of simple statistical features from a one-pixel width window which is sliding a cross that text line. It then injects the resulting feature vectors to Hidden Markov Models. The proposed system is applied to a data corpus which includes Arabic text of more than 600 A4-size sheets typewritten in multiple computergenerated fonts.
