A study of ultrasonic liver images classification with artificial neural networks based on fractal geometry and multiresolution analysis

TL;DR: The experimental results illustrated that artificial neural networks are an attractive alternative to conventional statistic techniques when dealing with classification task and the feature vector based on fractal geometry and wavelet transform can provide good discriminating ability for ultrasonic liver images under study.

PZT-induced Lamb waves and pattern recognitions for on-line health monitoring of jointed steel plates

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique was used for detecting damages on a jointed steel plate on the basis of the time of flight and wavelet coefficient, obtained from wavelet transforms of Lamb wave signals.

Inferring temporal motifs for travel pattern analysis using large scale smart card data

TL;DR: A scalable algorithm to recognize temporal motifs from daily trip sub-sequences extracted from two smart card datasets is developed and shows its benefits in uncovering the potential correlation between varying topologies of trip combinations and specific activity chains.

A Neural Network Approach for Multi-Attribute Process Control with Comparison of Two Current Techniques and Guidelines for Practical Use

TL;DR: It has been observed that no one technique outperforms the other two techniques for all process conditions and guidelines for how to best select and use multi-attribute process control techniques are provided.

Maximum-likelihood approximate nearest neighbor method in real-time image recognition

TL;DR: A novel probabilistic approximate nearest-neighbor (NN) method, which processes the distances from all instances to a small set of pivots chosen with the farthest-first traversal, which is much faster than the known approximate NN algorithms for medium databases.

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.
