In the field of electronic fault detection much of the evaluation is performed by a human operator using a visual inspection system. One such system displays the current versus voltage (I-V) characteristics, referred to as the impedance trace, of the electronic component under test. The shape of the impedance trace indicates the integrity of the component. The subjectivity and poor repeatability of the visual inspection have been identified as major deficiencies in the existing systems. A microprocessor-based system has been proposed to store and provide a quantitative classification of the impedance traces. The primary objective of this system is to provide an efficient automated system for classifying the impedance traces of different electronic components. Thus three trace representations and two classification schemes are proposed, based upon techniques developed in the field of pattern recognition. An experiment contrasts the different classification approaches. A Fourier series representation, combining both magnitude and phase features, was determined to provide the best overall performance when used in conjunction with a developed distance measure.

In this correspondence we propose two modifications to the block truncation coding techniques. The first modification allows the partitioning of the image into variable size blocks rather than fixed size. The second modification is the use of an optimal threshold to quantize the blocks based on minimizing the mean square error.

The paper presents a methodology for improving the organization of knowledge bases and demonstrates its application for generating the content of explanations. The DyKOr (Dynamic Knowledge Organization) method combines information that is usually available through execution traces with existing domain knowledge using techniques from machine learning including knowledge compilation, explanation-based learning, and conceptual clustering. These techniques allow the separation of the knowledge needed to solve a problem from that which is not required, and the identification of information that is related to the problem but is not explicitly stated. Thus, the analysis performed through the methodology can considerably improve the quality and content of explanations. The paper describes the implementation of the methodology and how it can be integrated into typical rule-based expert systems. Illustrations of how the method can be used to produce the content for explanations are presented in the context of typical consultation and problem solving expert systems. A discussion of how the information produced by the method can be used to prepare explanations for users with different levels of expertise is also presented.

Extracting natural groups of the unlabeled data is known as clustering. To improve the stability and robustness of the clustering outputs, clustering ensembles have emerged recently. In this paper, an ensemble of particle swarm clustering algorithms is proposed. That is, the members of the ensemble are based on the cooperative swarms clustering approaches. The performance of the proposed particle swarm clustering ensemble is evaluated using different data sets and is compared to that of other clustering techniques.

The backpropagation algorithm is a very, popular approach to learning in feed-forward multi-layer perceptron networks. However, in many scenarios the time required to adequately learn the task is considerable. Many existing approaches have improved the convergence rate by altering the learning algorithm. We present a simple alternative approach inspired by opposition-based learning that simultaneously considers each network transfer function and its opposite. The effect is an improvement in convergence rate and over traditional backpropagation learning with momentum. We use four common benchmark problems to illustrate the improvement in convergence time.
