Pattern recognition principles

Abstract: The present work gives an account of basic principles and available techniques for the analysis and design of pattern processing and recognition systems. Areas covered include decision functions, pattern classification by distance functions, pattern classification by likelihood functions, the perceptron and the potential function approaches to trainable pattern classifiers, statistical approach to trainable classifiers, pattern preprocessing and feature selection, and syntactic pattern recognition.

Syntactic Pattern Recognition: An Introduction

Abstract: This book provides an introduction to basic concepts and techniques of syntactic pattern recognition. The presentation emphasizes fundamental and practical material rather than strictly theoretical topics, and numerous examples illustrate the principles. The subject is developed according to the following topics: introduction (background, patterns and pattern classes, approaches to pattern recognition, elements of a pattern recognition system, concluding remarks); elements of formal language theory (introduction; string grammars and languages; examples of pattern languages and grammars; equivalent context-free grammars; syntax-directed translations; deterministic, nondeterministic, and stochastic systems; concluding remarks); higher-dimensional grammars (introduction; tree grammars; web grammars; plex grammars; shape gammars; concluding remarks); recognition and translation of syntactic structures (introduction; string language recognizers; automata for simple syntax-directed translation; parsing in string languages; recognition of imperfect strings; tree automata; concluding remarks); stochastic grammars, languages, and recognizers (introduction; stochastic grammars and languages; consisting of stochastic context-free grammars; stochastic reocgnizers; stochastic syntax-directed translations; modified Cocke-Younger-Kasami parsing algorithm for stochastic errors of changed symbols; concluding remarks); and grammatical inference (introduction; inference of regular grammars; inference of context-free grammars; inference of tree grammars; inference of stochastic grammar; concluding remarks). 155 references, 93 figures, 4 tables.

A Cluster Separation Measure

Abstract: A measure is presented which indicates the similarity of clusters which are assumed to have a data density which is a decreasing function of distance from a vector characteristic of the cluster. The measure can be used to infer the appropriateness of data partitions and can therefore be used to compare relative appropriateness of various divisions of the data. The measure does not depend on either the number of clusters analyzed nor the method of partitioning of the data and can be used to guide a cluster seeking algorithm.

The use of the area under the ROC curve in the evaluation of machine learning algorithms

Abstract: In this paper we investigate the use of the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) as a performance measure for machine learning algorithms. As a case study we evaluate six machine learning algorithms (C4.5, Multiscale Classifier, Perceptron, Multi-layer Perceptron, k-Nearest Neighbours, and a Quadratic Discriminant Function) on six ''real world'' medical diagnostics data sets. We compare and discuss the use of AUC to the more conventional overall accuracy and find that AUC exhibits a number of desirable properties when compared to overall accuracy: increased sensitivity in Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests; a standard error that decreased as both AUC and the number of test samples increased; decision threshold independent; and it is invariant to a priori class probabilities. The paper concludes with the recommendation that AUC be used in preference to overall accuracy for ''single number'' evaluation of machine learning algorithms.

FCM: The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm

Abstract: This paper transmits a FORTRAN-IV coding of the fuzzy c -means (FCM) clustering program. The FCM program is applicable to a wide variety of geostatistical data analysis problems. This program generates fuzzy partitions and prototypes for any set of numerical data. These partitions are useful for corroborating known substructures or suggesting substructure in unexplored data. The clustering criterion used to aggregate subsets is a generalized least-squares objective function. Features of this program include a choice of three norms (Euclidean, Diagonal, or Mahalonobis), an adjustable weighting factor that essentially controls sensitivity to noise, acceptance of variable numbers of clusters, and outputs that include several measures of cluster validity.

Survey over image thresholding techniques and quantitative performance evaluation

Abstract: We conduct an exhaustive survey of image thresholding methods, categorize them, express their formulas under a uniform notation, and finally carry their performance comparison. The thresholding methods are categorized according to the information they are exploiting, such as histogram shape, measurement space clustering, entropy, object attributes, spatial correlation, and local gray-level surface. 40 selected thresholding methods from various categories are compared in the context of nondestructive testing applications as well as for document images. The comparison is based on the combined performance measures. We identify the thresholding algorithms that perform uniformly better over nonde- structive testing and document image applications. © 2004 SPIE and IS&T. (DOI: 10.1117/1.1631316)
