Analytical study or designing of large‐scale nonlinear neural circuits, especially for chaotic neural circuits, is a difficult task. Here we analyze the function of neural systems by probing the fuzzy logical framework of the neural cells’ dynamical equations. In this paper, the fuzzy logical framework of neural cells is used to understand the nonlinear dynamic attributes of a common neural system, and we proved that if a neural system works in a non‐chaotic way, a suitable fuzzy logical framework can be found and we can analyze or design such kind neural system similar to analyze or design a digit computer, but if a neural system works in a chaotic way, an approximation is needed for understanding the function of such neural system.

In this paper, we propose adaptive multiple feedback strategies for interactive video retrieval. We first segregate interactive feedback into 3 distinct types (recall-driven relevance feedback, precision-driven active learning and locality-driven relevance feedback) so that a generic interaction mechanism with more flexibility can be performed to cover different search queries and different video corpuses. Our system facilitates expert searchers to flexibly decide on the types of feedback they want to employ under different situations. To cater to the large number of novice users (non-expert users), an adaptive option is built-in to learn the expert user behavior so as to provide recommendations on the next feedback strategy, leading to a more precise and personalized search for the novice users. Experimental results on TRECVID news video corpus demonstrate that our proposed adaptive multiple feedback strategies are effective. Copyright 2008 ACM.

In this paper, we present a symmetrical invariant LBP (SILBP) texture descriptor based on the texture pattern equivalent, which is defined according to visual perception of textures. Then we extend the SILBP to linear SILBP. Our experiments on image retrieval show that the proposed texture discriptor has the advantages of symmetrical invariant, rotation robustness and computing simplicity.

This paper makes a discussion of consistent subsets (CS) selection criteria for hyper surface Classification (HSC) and SVM algorithms. The consistent subsets play an important role in the data selection. Firstly, the paper proposes that minimal consistent subset for a disjoint cover set (MCSC) plays an important role in the data selection for HSC. The MCSC can be applied to select a representative subset from the original sample set for HSC. MCSC has the same classification model with the entire sample set and can totally reflect its classification ability. Secondly, the number of MCSC is calculated. Thirdly, by comparing the performance of HSC and SVM on corresponding CS, we argue that it is not reasonable that using the same train data set to train different classifiers and then testing the classifiers by the same test data set for different algorithms. The experiments show that algorithms can respectively select the proper data set for training, which ensures good performance and generalization ability. MCSC is the best selection for HSC, and support vector set is the effective selection for SVM.

Personalization especially in the domain of information retrieval is essentially important, as users might pose the same query even when they are searching for different information. It is thus necessary to create a retrieval engine which takes into consideration the dynamic information needs of different users. This paper presents our personalized news video retrieval engine, which exploits the individual userpsilas previous browsing history to customize and enhance their future search results. Specifically, the system utilizes the news topic hierarchy, a hierarchical news topic structure derived from unsupervised clustering on the news video corpus and event entities from news video and online news articles. We then dynamically project userpsilas browsing history onto this topic hierarchy to provide the basis for re-ranking relevant news videos. This system is tested on one month of TRECVID 2006 dataset consisting of 80 hours news video and found to return results in a more intuitive and personalized manner.

Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in transfer learning. Despite the vast amount of research performed in this field, there are remaining challenges in applying the knowledge learnt from multiple source domains to a target domain. First, data from multiple source domains can be semantically related, but have different distributions. It is not clear how to exploit the distribution differences among multiple source domains to boost the learning performance in a target domain. Second, many real-world applications demand this transfer learning to be performed in a distributed manner. To meet these challenges, we propose a consensus regularization framework for transfer learning from multiple source domains to a target domain. In this framework, a local classifier is trained by considering both local data available in a source domain and the prediction consensus with the classifiers from other source domains. In addition, the training algorithm can be implemented in a distributed manner, in which all the source-domains are treated as slave nodes and the target domain is used as the master node. To combine the training results from multiple source domains, it only needs share some statistical data rather than the full contents of their labeled data. This can modestly relieve the privacy concerns and avoid the need to upload all data to a central location. Finally, our experimental results show the effectiveness of our consensus regularization learning. Copyright 2008 ACM.

This paper presents a candidate-evaluation model (CEM) which interactively elicits user preferences and assists decision makers in decision making in applications such as travel itinerary planning. The CEM contrasts with traditional decision analytic and planning frameworks in which a complete user model is elicited beforehand or is constructed by a human expert. We used the CEM model to implement an Itinerary Selection Assistant (ISA) system, which helps tourists identify satisfactory travel itineraries. The ISA starts with fuzzy user preferences and gradually approximate the optimal solution through carefully choosing candidate solutions to present to the user and inferring user's actual preferences by analyzing user evaluations over the candidates.
