A novel approach for recognition of control chart patterns: Type-2 fuzzy clustering optimized support vector machine.

TL;DR: A multiclass SVM (SVM) based classifier is proposed because of the promising generalization capability of support vector machines, and cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed for selecting appropriate parameters of the classifier.

A study on content-based classification and retrieval of audio database

Mingchun Liu, +1 more
TL;DR: Four classifiers, namely nearest neighbor (NN), modified k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and probabilistic neural network (PNN) are compared and the PNN classifier combined with Euclidean distance measurement was chosen for audio retrieval, using query by example.

An incremental training method for the probabilistic RBF network

TL;DR: Experimental results indicate that the incremental method provides solutions of superior classification performance compared to the hierarchical PRBF training method and a qualitative comparison of the two approaches is presented.

Hierarchical RBF networks and local parameters estimate

TL;DR: The method presented here is aimed to a direct fast setting of the parameters of a RBF network for function approximation based on a hierarchical gridding of the input space; additional layers of Gaussians at lower scales are added where the residual error is higher.

Numerical Study and POD-Based Prediction of Natural Convection in a Ferrofluids–Filled Triangular Cavity with Generalized Neural Networks

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a magnetic dipole source on the natural convection of ferrofluids in a triangular cavity are studied, where a partial heater is added to the left vertical wall of the cavity while the right vertical wall is kept at the constant temperature.

Nearest neighbor pattern classification

TL;DR: The nearest neighbor decision rule assigns to an unclassified sample point the classification of the nearest of a set of previously classified points, so it may be said that half the classification information in an infinite sample set is contained in the nearest neighbor.

On Estimation of a Probability Density Function and Mode

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the estimation of a probability density function and of determining the mode of the probability function is discussed. Only estimates which are consistent and asymptotically normal are constructed.
