Review of Face Detection Systems Based Artificial Neural Networks Algorithms
Face detection is one of the most relevant applications of image processing
and biometric systems. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been used in the
field of image processing and pattern recognition. There is lack of literature
surveys which give overview about the studies and researches related to the
using of ANN in face detection. Therefore, this research includes a general
review of face detection studies and systems which based on different ANN
approaches and algorithms. The strengths and limitations of these literature
studies and systems were included also.Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, 1 table, IJMA Journa
Machine Learning for Fluid Mechanics
The field of fluid mechanics is rapidly advancing, driven by unprecedented
volumes of data from field measurements, experiments and large-scale
simulations at multiple spatiotemporal scales. Machine learning offers a wealth
of techniques to extract information from data that could be translated into
knowledge about the underlying fluid mechanics. Moreover, machine learning
algorithms can augment domain knowledge and automate tasks related to flow
control and optimization. This article presents an overview of past history,
current developments, and emerging opportunities of machine learning for fluid
mechanics. It outlines fundamental machine learning methodologies and discusses
their uses for understanding, modeling, optimizing, and controlling fluid
flows. The strengths and limitations of these methods are addressed from the
perspective of scientific inquiry that considers data as an inherent part of
modeling, experimentation, and simulation. Machine learning provides a powerful
information processing framework that can enrich, and possibly even transform,
current lines of fluid mechanics research and industrial applications.Comment: To appear in the Annual Reviews of Fluid Mechanics, 202
Heterogeneous Techniques used in Face Recognition: A Survey
Face Recognition has become one of the important areas of research in computer vision. Human Communication is a combination of both verbal and non-verbal. For interaction in the society, face serve as the primary canvas used to express distinct emotions non-verbally. The face of one person provides the most important natural means of communication. In this paper, we will discuss the various works done in the area of face recognition where focus is on intelligent approaches like PCA, LDA, DFLD, SVD, GA etc. In the current trend, combination of these existing techniques are being taken into consideration and are discussed in this paper.Keywords: Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Direct Fractional LDA (DFLD

Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
Differential Evolution to Optimize Hidden Markov Models Training: Application to Facial Expression Recognition
The base system in this paper uses Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to model dynamic relationships among facial features in facial behavior interpretation and understanding field. The input of HMMs is a new set of derived features from geometrical distances obtained from detected and automatically tracked facial points. Numerical data representation which is in the form of multi-time series is transformed to a symbolic representation in order to reduce dimensionality, extract the most pertinent information and give a meaningful representation to humans. The main problem of the use of HMMs is that the training is generally trapped in local minima, so we used the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm to offer more diversity and so limit as much as possible the occurrence of stagnation. For this reason, this paper proposes to enhance HMM learning abilities by the use of DE as an optimization tool, instead of the classical Baum and Welch algorithm. Obtained results are compared against the traditional learning approach and significant improvements have been obtained.</p
Progressive-Regressive Strategy for Biometrical Authentication
This chapter thoroughly investigates the use of the progressive–regressive strategy for biometrical authentication through the use of human gait and face images. A considerable amount of features were extracted and relevant parameters computed for such an investigation and a vast number of datasets developed. The datasets consist of features and computed parameters extracted from human gait and face images from various subjects of different ages. Soft-computing techniques, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), principal component analysis and the forward–backward dynamic programming method were applied for the best-fit selection of parameters and the complete matching process. The paretic and non-paretic characteristics were classified through Naïve Bayes’ classification theorem. Both classification and recognition were carried out in parallel with test and trained datasets and the whole process of investigation was successfully carried out through an algorithm developed in this chapter. The success rate of biometrical authentication is 89%
