Divisive hierarchical clustering is a powerful tool for extracting knowledge from data with a pluralistic and appropriate information granularity. Recent developments of hierarchical clustering algorithms apply Growing Neural Gas (GNG) to data divisive mechanisms. However, GNG-based algorithms tend to generate nodes excessively and sensitive to the input order of data points. Furthermore, the plasticity-stability dilemma is another unavoidable problem. In this paper, we propose a divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm based on Adaptive Resonance Theory-based clustering. Simulation experiments show that the proposed algorithm can generate an appropriate tree structure depending on data while improving the performance of hierarchical clustering.

Machine learning models that are used for the prediction and control of production can improve quality and yield. However, developing models that are highly accurate and reflective of real-world processes is challenging. We propose a feedforward neural network model specifically designed for continuous Multistage Manufacturing Processes (MMPs) without intermediate outputs. This model, which is termed “MMP Net,” can accurately represent the control mechanism of continuous MMPs. Whereas existing studies on learning MMPs assume an intermediate output data, the MMP Net does not require such an unrealistic assumption. We use the MMP Net to develop prediction models for the lubricant base oil production process of a world-leading lubricant manufacturer. Evaluation results show that the MMP Net is superior to other deep neural network and machine learning models. Consequently, the MMP Net was actually implemented in a real factory in 2022 and is expected to save 900,000 dollars per year for each production line. We believe that our work can serve as a basis to develop customized machine learning solutions for improving continuous MMPs.

People with color vision deficiency (CVD) may have difficulty in discriminating colors. To improve their color perception, several compensation methods have been proposed which considered naturalness maintenance and contrast emphasis. All these methods are based on the simulation model of severe CVD and hence it is not clear whether are also effective for people with light CVD. In this paper, we conduct subjective study to evaluate the effectiveness of these methods for people with varying degrees of CVD.

In an aging society such as Japan and other OECD countries, the medical and non-medical costs of long-term care are increasing every year, and it is becoming more difficult for local governments to bear the costs. It is necessary to identify high-risk persons before they need long-term care. We built a prediction model for seven scenarios regarding the need for long-term care using medical claims, pharmacy claims, diagnosis procedure combination (DPC) payment system data, health examination results, and long-term care claims from a local government database. Based on the number of actual data, our proposed long-term care risk prediction is targeted at the elderly over 75 years old. Because there are many variables in the data, especially in medical claims, we used the heterogeneous mixture learning (HML) model because it can automatically optimize all combinations of explanatory variables. The explanatory variables we used are age, sex, 533 diagnosis codes as listed in ICD-10, 108 prescription drug groups under the therapeutic category of drugs in Japan, and 28 special health examination items. The results showed that the area under the curves (AUCs) for all scenarios was above 0.7. Since the recalls of HML were larger than that of other machine learning models, more high-risk persons can be identified by our model.

In interactive evolutionary computation, it is important to reduce user fatigue and to enhance the search performance in a few generations, since fatigue has an impact on users' evaluation process. These issues also have been found in in interactive genetic algorithm (IGA). In this study, we adopt multi-parental unimodal normal distribution crossover (UNDX- m) to solve these problems in IGA. UNDX- m generates many offspring with considering the distribution of selected parents. The next population can be generated by applying UNDX- m once with more than two parent solutions. Through this mechanism, the evaluation process becomes simple manner where users only select their preferable solutions. In addition, UNDX- m can generate offspring that inherit their parents' traits, which enhance the search quality. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of UNDX- m through the numerical experiment, by using a color combination problem in Web design.
