01 Jan 2008TL;DR: The objective of this study was to evaluate SVMs for their effectiveness and prospects for object-based image analysis as a modern computational intelligence method and the SVM methodology seems very promising for Object Based Image Analysis.
Abstract: The Support Vector Machine is a theoretically superior machine learning methodology with great results in pattern recognition. Especially for supervised classification of high-dimensional datasets and has been found competitive with the best machine learning algorithms. In the past, SVMs were tested and evaluated only as pixel-based image classifiers. During recent years, advances in Remote Sensing occurred in the field of Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) with combination of low level and high level computer vision techniques. Moving from pixel-based techniques towards object-based representation, the dimensions of remote sensing imagery feature space increases significantly. This results to increased complexity of the classification process, and causes problems to traditional classification schemes. The objective of this study was to evaluate SVMs for their effectiveness and prospects for object-based image analysis as a modern computational intelligence method. Here, an SVM approach for multi-class classification was followed, based on primitive image objects provided by a multi-resolution segmentation algorithm. Then, a feature selection step took place in order to provide the features for classification which involved spectral, texture and shape information. After the feature selection step, a module that integrated an SVM classifier and the segmentation algorithm was developed in C++. For training the SVM, sample image objects derived from the segmentation procedure were used. The proposed classification procedure followed, resulting in the final object classification. The classification results were compared to the Nearest Neighbor object-based classifier results, and were found satisfactory. The SVM methodology seems very promising for Object Based Image Analysis and future work will focus on integrating SVM classifiers with rule-based classifiers.

TL;DR: The USC-TIMIT database currently includes real-time magnetic resonance imaging data from five male and five female speakers of American English, and Electromagnetic articulography data have also been presently collected from four of these speakers.
Abstract: USC-TIMIT is an extensive database of multimodal speech production data, developed to complement existing resources available to the speech research community and with the intention of being continuously refined and augmented. The database currently includes real-time magnetic resonance imaging data from five male and five female speakers of American English. Electromagnetic articulography data have also been presently collected from four of these speakers. The two modalities were recorded in two independent sessions while the subjects produced the same 460 sentence corpus used previously in the MOCHA-TIMIT database. In both cases the audio signal was recorded and synchronized with the articulatory data. The database and companion software are freely available to the research community.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that quantum diffusion has a significant impact on the primordial black hole mass fraction making the classical standard prediction not trustable, and propose a quantum diffusion-based single-field model of black hole creation.
Abstract: Primordial black holes as dark matter may be generated in single-field models of inflation thanks to the enhancement at small scales of the comoving curvature perturbation. This mechanism requires leaving the slow-roll phase to enter a non-attractor phase during which the inflaton travels across a plateau and its velocity drops down exponentially. We argue that quantum diffusion has a significant impact on the primordial black hole mass fraction making the classical standard prediction not trustable.

TL;DR: It is proved that the Euclidean degree-3 MST problem is also NP-complete, thus leaving open only the case for K = 4, and implementing the “shortcutting phase” of Christofides' algorithm optimally is NP-hard.
