Decision Making in the Medical Domain: Comparing the Effectiveness of GP-Generated Fuzzy Intelligent Structures
ABSTRACT: In this work, we examine the effectiveness of two intelligent models in medical domains. Namely, we apply grammar-guided genetic programming to produce fuzzy intelligent structures, such as fuzzy rule-based systems and fuzzy Petri nets, in medical data mining tasks. First, we use two context-free grammars to describe fuzzy rule-based systems and fuzzy Petri nets with genetic programming. Then, we apply cellular encoding in order to express the fuzzy Petri nets with arbitrary size and topology. The models are examined thoroughly in four real-world medical data sets. Results are presented in detail and the competitive advantages and drawbacks of the selected methodologies are discussed, in respect to the nature of each application domain. Conclusions are drawn on the effectiveness and efficiency of the presented approach
Inducing Probabilistic Grammars by Bayesian Model Merging
We describe a framework for inducing probabilistic grammars from corpora of
positive samples. First, samples are {\em incorporated} by adding ad-hoc rules
to a working grammar; subsequently, elements of the model (such as states or
nonterminals) are {\em merged} to achieve generalization and a more compact
representation. The choice of what to merge and when to stop is governed by the
Bayesian posterior probability of the grammar given the data, which formalizes
a trade-off between a close fit to the data and a default preference for
simpler models (`Occam's Razor'). The general scheme is illustrated using three
types of probabilistic grammars: Hidden Markov models, class-based -grams,
and stochastic context-free grammars.Comment: To appear in Grammatical Inference and Applications, Second

Segmentation of Document Using Discriminative Context-free Grammar Inference and Alignment Similarities
Text Documents present a great challenge to the field of document recognition. Automatic segmentation and layout analysis of documents is used for interpretation and machine translation of documents. Document such as research papers, address book, news etc. is available in the form of un-structured format. Extracting relevant Knowledge from this document has been recognized as promising task. Extracting interesting rules form it is complex and tedious process. Conditional random fields (CRFs) utilizing contextual information, hand-coded wrappers to label the text (such as Name, Phone number and Address etc). In this paper we propose a novel approach to infer grammar rules using alignment similarity and discriminative context-free grammar. It helps in extracting desired information from the document.

Automatic Semantic Annotation of Music with Harmonic Structure
This paper presents an annotation model for harmonic structure of a piece of music, and a rule system that supports the automatic generation of harmonic annotations. Musical structure has so far received relatively little attention in the context of musical metadata and annotation, although it is highly relevant for musicians, musicologists and indirectly for music listeners. Activities in semantic annotation of music have so far mostly concentrated on features derived from audio data and file-level metadata. We have implemented a model and rule system for harmonic annotation as a starting point for semantic annotation of musical structure. Our model is for the musical style of Jazz, but the approach is not restricted to this style. The rule system describes a grammar that allows the fully automatic creation of an harmonic analysis as tree-structured annotations. We present a prototype ontology that defines the layers of harmonic analysis from chords symbols to the level of a complete piece. The annotation can be made on music in various formats, provided there is a way of addressing either chords or time points within the music. We argue that this approach, in connection with manual annotation, can support a number of application scenarios in music production, education, and retrieval and in musicology
