In this paper a new method of reducing the computational load for Gaussian mixture model universal background model (GMM-UBM) based speaker identification is proposed. In order to speed up the selection of N-best Gaussian mixtures in a UBM, a selection tree (ST) structure as well as relevant operations is proposed. Combined with the existing observation reordering pruning (ORP) method which was proposed for rapid pruning of unlikely speaker model candidates, the proposed method achieves a much larger computation reduction factor than any single individual method. Experimental results show that a GMM-UBM system used in a conjunction with ST and ORP can speed up the computation by a factor of about 16 with an error rate increase of only about 1% compared with a baseline GMM-UBM system.

Extraction of fingerprint ridge lines is a critical pre-processing step in the identification of poor quality fingerprint images. This paper presents a new fingerprint ridge line extraction approach by way of ridge line tracing. In our research, the fingerprint ridge line in a gray scale image is viewed as a track of a ridge segment moving along the ridge. The curve tracing problem is solved by the target tracking technique in computer vision. We first formulate the model of fingerprint ridge line segments and then apply a target tracking method to trace each of the ridge lines. In addition, a feedback technique is adopted to correct the fingerprint directional image in each tracing step in order to improve tracing accuracy. By connecting all the traced ridge line segments, a polyline extraction of the ridge line can be obtained. Compared to conventional method, our approach exhibits superior performance.

In this paper, a content-based and domain-independent method for automatically extracting titles from Chinese research papers is proposed. The information contained in the title itself and the similarity between the title and the body of the paper is exploited, under the condition that the experiment is carried out on plain texts in which no any format information such as font is used. A list of words only used in Chinese titles and a list of words never used in Chinese titles are further collected to facilitate the title extraction. We use the support vector machine classifier to perform a robust and more adaptable automatic title extraction. The method achieves good performance on a test set consisting of 2438 research papers which cover almost all of the academic disciplines.

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, a multi-view face detection method based on real Adaboost algorithm is presented. Human faces are divided into several viewpoint categories according to their poses in 3D, and for each of these categories a form of weak classifiers in look-up-table (LUT) type is designed using Haar-like features that have confidences in real values as their outputs, and correspondingly its space of weak classifiers is constructed, from which the cascade face detector is learnt by using real Adaboost algorithm. For speed up, multi-resolution searching and pose prediction strategies are introduced. For frontal face detection, the experiments on CMU + MIT frontal face test set result in a correct rate of 94.5% with 57 false alarms;for multi-view face detection, the experiments on CMU profile face test set result in a correct rate of 89.8% with 221 false alarms. The average processing time on a PIV 2.4 GHz PC is about 80 ms for a 320 × 240-pixel image. It can be seen that the proposed method is very efficient and has significant value in application.

Two speed estimators are designed respectively for direct torque control system of the asynchronous motor in this paper. One is MRAC identification model with high-pass and low-pass filter part based on traditional MRAC theory, besides, an improved u-n magnetic chain observer method has been adopted. We employ improved u-n magnetic chain observation method to get magnetic chain, enhance accuracy of the magnetic chain calculation, and overcome the limitation of pure integral magnetic chain calculation. Computer simulations are made in the high-speed section and low-speed section respectively. Simulation results prove that the improved method enhances identification precision and control performance of the whole system, and overcome fluctuates of the torque and motor speed. The other is the motor speed identification method based on neural network. This method not only needn't model on control objects, but also can overcome the effect of the changing parameters and improve the robustness of the system by ANN's learning and self-optimizing abilities. In addition, a new improved direct torque control (DTC) method based on the speed identification is proposed in this paper, and it has a better control performance, higher identification precision and practical significance. Finally, we adopt TMS320F240 digital signal processor to build relevant equipment system, and the validity of this method has been demonstrated by the experiment results.

A novel method based on ant colony optimization (ACO), algorithm for solving the ill-conditioned linear systems of equations is proposed. ACO is a parallelized bionic optimization algorithm which is inspired from the behavior of real ants. ACO algorithm is first introduced, a kind of positive feedback mechanism is adopted in ACO. Then, the solution problem of linear systems of equations was reformulated as an unconstrained optimization problem for solution by an ACO algorithm. Finally, the ACO with other traditional methods is applied to solve a kind of multi-dimensional Hilbert ill-conditioned linear equations. The numerical results demonstrate that ACO is effective, robust and recommendable in solving ill-conditioned linear systems of equations.

In previous gene expression data analyses, supervised learning has mainly focused on the clas-sification of attribute data, such as the different experimental conditions, different known classes of the same tumor and sex. However, supervised learning classification is not suitable for interval-scaled attributes, such as age and survival outcome of cancer patients. For this problem, this paper proposed a new method by combining two well-known methods: principal component analysis (PCA) and Fisher analysis (FA). The method, PCA-FA, realizes supervised learning with two types of attributes (nominal attributes and interval-scaled attributes). The fuzzy FA was introduced to model the interval-scaled attributes. In this paper, an ap-proximate linear relationship between gene expression data of lung adenocarcinoma patients and survival outcome is successfully revealed by PCA-TA.

Web-based learning systems are one of the most interesting topics in the area of the application of computers to education. Collaborative learning, as an important principle in constructivist learning theory, is an important instruction mode for open and distance learning systems. Through collaborative learning, students can greatly improve their creativity, exploration capability, and social cooperation. This paper used an agent-based coordination mechanism to respond to the requirements of an efficient and motivating learn-ing process. This coordination mechanism is based on a Web-based constructivist collaborative learning system, in which students can learn in groups and interact with each other by several kinds of communica-tion modes to achieve their learning objectives efficiently and actively. In this learning system, artificial agents represent an active part in the collaborative learning process; they can partially replace human in-structors during the multi-mode interaction of the students.
