Pattern mining approaches used in sensor-based biometric recognition: a review
Sensing technologies place significant interest in the use of biometrics for the recognition and assessment of individuals. Pattern mining techniques have established a critical step in the progress of sensor-based biometric systems that are capable of perceiving, recognizing and computing sensor data, being a technology that searches for the high-level information about pattern recognition from low-level sensor readings in order to construct an artificial substitute for human recognition. The design of a successful sensor-based biometric recognition system needs to pay attention to the different issues involved in processing variable data being - acquisition of biometric data from a sensor, data pre-processing, feature extraction, recognition and/or classification, clustering and validation. A significant number of approaches from image processing, pattern identification and machine learning have been used to process sensor data. This paper aims to deliver a state-of-the-art summary and present strategies for utilizing the broadly utilized pattern mining methods in order to identify the challenges as well as future research directions of sensor-based biometric systems
Authorship Categorization With Neural Network
This paper explores the use of neural networks in author classification. Also exploring the effect of stylometry is another aim of the research. Choosing the algorithm and descriptors are important issues in the research. In this paper methods for the multi-topic machine learning of an authorship attribution classifier were investigated using texts from novels as the data set. Artificial neural network is proposed to classify the texts of authors using a set of lexical descriptors and feed-forward neural network using back propagation. The result shows that Turkish authors Peyami Safa, Orhan Pamuk and Mustafa Necati Sepetcioglu’s two novels are successfully classified
Predictive biometrics: A review and analysis of predicting personal characteristics from biometric data
Interest in the exploitation of soft biometrics information has continued to develop over the last decade or so. In comparison with traditional biometrics, which focuses principally on person identification, the idea of soft biometrics processing is to study the utilisation of more general information regarding a system user, which is not necessarily unique. There are increasing indications that this type of data will have great value in providing complementary information for user authentication. However, the authors have also seen a growing interest in broadening the predictive capabilities of biometric data, encompassing both easily definable characteristics such as subject age and, most recently, `higher level' characteristics such as emotional or mental states. This study will present a selective review of the predictive capabilities, in the widest sense, of biometric data processing, providing an analysis of the key issues still adequately to be addressed if this concept of predictive biometrics is to be fully exploited in the future
Ensemble learning using multi-objective optimisation for arabic handwritten words
Arabic handwriting recognition is a dynamic and stimulating field of study within
pattern recognition. This system plays quite a significant part in today's global
environment. It is a widespread and computationally costly function due to cursive
writing, a massive number of words, and writing style. Based on the literature, the
existing features lack data supportive techniques and building geometric features.
Most ensemble learning approaches are based on the assumption of linear
combination, which is not valid due to differences in data types. Also, the existing
approaches of classifier generation do not support decision-making for selecting the
most suitable classifier, and it requires enabling multi-objective optimisation to handle
these differences in data types. In this thesis, new type of feature for handwriting using
Segments Interpolation (SI) to find the best fitting line in each of the windows with a
model for finding the best operating point window size for SI features. Multi-Objective
Ensemble Oriented (MOEO) formulated to control the classifier topology and provide
feedback support for changing the classifiers' topology and weights based on the
extension of Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). It is designated
as the Random Subset based Parents Selection (RSPS-NSGA-II) to handle neurons
and accuracy. Evaluation metrics from two perspectives classification and Multiobjective
optimization. The experimental design based on two subsets of the
IFN/ENIT database. The first one consists of 10 classes (C10) and 22 classes (C22).
The features were tested with Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Extreme Learning
Machine (ELM). This work improved due to the SI feature. SI shows a significant
result with SVM with 88.53% for C22. RSPS for C10 at k=2 achieved 91% accuracy
with fewer neurons than NSGA-II, and for C22 at k=10, accuracy has been increased
81% compared to NSGA-II 78%. Future work may consider introducing more features
to the system, applying them to other languages, and integrating it with sequence
learning for more accuracy
