Feedforward neural networks are popular tools for nonlinear regression and classification problems. Gaussian Process (GP) can be viewed as an RBF neural network which have infinite number of hidden neurons. On regression problems, they can predict both the mean value and the variance of the given sample. Boosting is one of the most important recent developments in machine learning. Classification problems have dominated research on boosting to date. On the other hand, the application of boosting of regression has received less investigation. In this paper, we develop two boosting methods of GPs for regression according to the characteristic of them. We compare the performance of our ensembles with other boosting algorithms and find that our methods are more stable and essentially have less over-fitting problems than the other methods.

The classification of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals is an important issue in the ongoing research of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. One such BCI uses slow cortical potential measures to infer user intent from the original brain activity. Seven features based on the standard low-level signal properties are evaluated for their ability to classify brain activities, and thus make up for the scarcity of signal features for the current EEG signal categorization. In addition, a paradigm is proposed to select effective low-level features for EEG signal classification. Combining the features selected by the paradigm with the DC value of slow cortical potentials for categorization based on a Bayesian classifier, we obtained significant improvement on classification accuracy for data set Ia of the BCI competition 2003, which is a typical representative of one kind of BCI data.

We propose a novel approach, the fixed-point algorithm (FastICA) with initialization constraint, for performing independent component analysis (ICA). In order to achieve a reliable convergence during estimating the blind source components, both the third- and fourth-order statistics are taken into account when diagonalizing the cumulant tensors. By combining these high-order statistics, an initialization constraint is introduced into the decomposition procedure of the independent components by FastICA. The experimental results demonstrate that the improved algorithm can achieve a better performance than the original FastICA without increasing the computation cost dramatically. The simulations involving source signals with different distributions show that our algorithm can adapt most source signals, including some complicated and asymmetric distributions.

The efficient use of channel bandwidth is one of the main issues in transmitting of image/video data. Rate control or rate allocation is necessary to control the bitrate of image coding such that it meets the channel bandwidth requirement. In this paper, we present a modified coding scheme based on region quality using JPEG2000. This scheme can achieve efficient utilization of the bandwidth as well as a high compression ration, which enables it play an important role in many fields such as transmission of satellite image, medical image and image communication in 3G.

In this paper, we study the robust control for uncertain Markov jump linear singularly perturbed systems (MJLSPS), whose transition probability matrix is unknown. An improved heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the nonlinear matrix inequalities. The results of this paper can apply not only to standard, but also to nonstandard MJLSPS. Moreover, the proposed approach is independent of the perturbation parameter and therefore avoids the ill-conditioned numerical problems.

Transductive inference is well suited for text categorization tasks with an enormous amount of unlabeled data in addition to a small number of labeled data. We present a new transductive support vector machine approach for text categorization in order to make use of the large amount of unlabeled data efficiently. In our experiments the performance of transductive methods greatly exceeds that of conventional SVM. Experimental results also show that our algorithm outperforms Joachims' TSVM, especially when there is a significant deviation between the distribution of training and test data.

Summary form only given. The (meta) logic underlying classical theory of computation is Boolean (two-valued) logic. Quantum logic was proposed by Birkhoff and von Neumann as a logic of quantum mechanics. It is currently understood as a logic whose truth values are taken from an orthomodular lattice. The major difference between Boolean logic and quantum logic is that the latter does not enjoy distributivity in general. The rapid development of quantum computation in recent years stimulates us to establish a theory of computation based on quantum logic. The present paper is the first step toward such a new theory and it focuses on the simplest models of computation, namely finite automata. We introduce the notion of orthomodular lattice-valued (quantum) automaton. The Kleene theorem about equivalence of regular expressions and finite automata is generalized into quantum logic. We also present a pumping lemma for orthomodular lattice-valued regular languages.

Terrain-aided navigation (TAN) uses terrain height variations under an aircraft to render the position estimate to bound the inertial navigation system (INS) error. This paper proposes a new terrain elevation matching (TEM) model, viz. Hidden-Markov-model (HMM) based TEM (HMMTEM) model. With the given model, an HMMTEM algorithm using Viterbi algorithm is designed and implemented to estimate the position error in INS. The simulation results show that HMMTEM algorithm can better improve the positioning precision of autonomous navigation than SITAN algorithm.

In this paper, we put ideas of granular computing into the application of query-by-humming. Leading by quotient space theory of problem solving, we present a quotient space model of hierarchical query-by-humming system, which do search in two stages. The first is searching in the quotient space to obtain high recall rate and a narrowed possible region with accepted speed. The second step is doing accurate but relatively slow search in the small original space to achieve high precision. In addition, we improve the previous dynamic programming techniques for melody matching, which tolerate the input error more reasonably. We also compare our hierarchical method with the previous flat note-based algorithm and frame-based algorithm on MIDI-encoded database of Chinese music and obtain promising results both in efficiency and accuracy.

Effective dynamic scheduling is an essential element in the process of intelligent road construction. The primary goal of this paper is to outline a two stage framework of dynamic scheduling for construction using layered fuzzy inference and radial basis function (RBF) neural network. The layered fuzzy inference presents an initial model which embeds the experts' knowledge by Zadah fuzzy theory and decision fusion. The RBF neural network adaptively adjusts the parameters of the initial model during the operation process. The experiment of the actual engineering problem shows that the scheduling results accord with the human knowledge and the training of the model needs less time compared with BP neural network. The proposed hybrid framework has been integrated in the practical asphalt road construction scheduling system.
