Concept elicitation is a fundamental methodology for knowledge extraction and representation in cognitive robot learning. Traditional machine learning technologies deal with object identification, cluster classification, functional regression, and behavior acquisition. This paper presents a supervised machine knowledge learning methodology for concept elicitation from sample dictionaries in natural languages. Formal concepts are autonomously generated based on collective intention of attributes and collective extension of objects elicited from informal definitions in dictionaries. A system of formal concept generation for a cognitive robot is implemented by the Algorithm of Machine Concept Elicitation (AMCE) in MATLAB. Experiments on machine learning for creating a set of twenty formal concepts reveal that the cognitive robot is able to learn synergized concepts in human knowledge in order to build its own cognitive knowledge base. The results of machine-generated concepts demonstrate that the AMCE algorithm can over perform human knowledge expressions in dictionaries in terms of relevance, accuracy, quantitativeness, and cohesiveness.

Compressive sensing (CS) allows acquiring sparse signals at sub-Nyquist rate, offering an energy-efficient solution to data acquisition. This is especially important to reduce communication data for mobile medical applications. However, reconstructing the signal from CS is usually left off-line due to the complex computations. In this paper, we integrate two key technologies to enable on-line energy-efficient CS signal reconstruction. These are (1) the use of Bayesian CS Belief Propagation (CS-BP) as the algorithm basis and (2) the novel design of stochastic computing (SC) circuits to efficiently map CS-BP algorithm. The overall signal reconstruction system is implemented with digital SC circuits in 65nm CMOS and recovers compressively sensed electrocardiography (ECG) and electromyography (EMG) signals with 11X to 8X data compression factor. Compared to a conventional binary design, post-layout simulation results show that the proposed stochastic design performs reconstruction with 5X energy-delay product improvement and 2X area reduction.

The estimation of energy demand (by power plants) has traditionally relied on historical energy use data for the region(s) that a plant produces for. Regression analysis, artificial neural network and Bayesian theory are the most common approaches for analysing these data. Such data and techniques do not generate reliable results. Consequently, excess energy has to be generated to prevent blackout; causes for energy surge are not easily determined; and potential energy use reduction from energy efficiency solutions is usually not translated into actual energy use reduction. The paper highlights the weaknesses of traditional techniques, and lays out a framework to improve the prediction of energy demand by combining energy use models of equipment, physical systems and buildings, with the proposed data mining algorithms for reverse engineering. The research team first analyses data samples from large complex energy data, and then, presents a set of computationally efficient data mining algorithms for reverse engineering. In order to develop a structural system model for reverse engineering, two focus groups are developed that has direct relation with cause and effect variables. The research findings of this paper includes testing out different sets of reverse engineering algorithms, understand their output patterns and modify algorithms to elevate accuracy of the outputs.

Anti-patterns and code smells are archetypes used for describing software design shortcomings that can negatively affect software quality, in particular maintainability. Tools, metrics and methodologies have been developed to identify these archetypes, based on the assumption that they can point at problematic code. However, recent empirical studies have shown that some of these archetypes are ubiquitous in real world programs, and many of them are found not to be as detrimental to quality as previously conjectured. We are therefore interested in revisiting common anti-patterns and code smells, and building a catalogue of cases that constitute candidates for "false positives". We propose a preliminary classification of such false positives with the aim of facilitating a better understanding of the effects of anti-patterns and code smells in practice. We hope that the development and further refinement of such a classification can support researchers and tool vendors in their endeavour to develop more pragmatic, context-relevant detection and analysis tools for anti-patterns and code smells.

Context identifying based on speech data is important to social services and city management. In a complex application environment, a speech recognition system needs to address two main problems: background noises and large vocabulary search latency. We use the adjustment acoustic model to deal with the scenario adaptation, and we use adjustment dictionary and language module to solve the discourse topic recognition. As a case study, we design and implement a continuous language speech recognition system on a mobile smart terminal. Experiments show that the scene adaptation effectively improves the accuracy rate of speech recognition, and the discourse topic recognition verifies the recognition effectiveness of our speech recognition system.

An important strategic level decision in the industrial gas industry involves allocating bulk gas tanks to customer sites. For a set of customers having specified demands, the bulk tank allocation problem determines the preferred size of bulk tanks to assign to customer sites in order to minimize tank investment costs and gas distribution costs for the industrial gas distributor. The problem is modeled as a mixed- integer program and then solved using a decomposition approach. A heuristic method for clustering customers and developing routes is proposed based on a sweep algorithm. These potential routes serve as input for the bulk tank allocation problem, which selects routes and assigns tanks to customer sites. The resulting BTA tool thus analyzes strategic level decisions while incorporating operational level characteristics. This leads to improved distribution efficiency and reduced costs.

This article explores the use of threshold logic for reducing the power, delay, and/or area of digital logic circuits. We first describe the architecture of a differential threshold logic gate (TLG) using conventional MOSFETs. A TLG of a given number of inputs can be configured to realize a set of threshold functions by simply connecting the appropriate signals to its inputs. One characteristic of the proposed architecture for a TLG is the increased sensitivity to process variations (device mismatch) and noise. Problems due to device mismatch can be mitigated by proper cell design and optimization. The increased sensitivity to noise makes it difficult to scale the supply voltage of a TLG. We show a simple solution which involves integrating RRAMs within the TLG circuit, to achieve robust, low voltage and energy efficient operation. The third circuit implementation referred to as a spintronic threshold logic (STL) cell uses an STT-MTJ device as a intrinsic threshold logic gate. An STL cell is an very compact structure that can realize a large number of threshold functions, many of which would require a multilevel network of conventional CMOS logic gates.
