Rank-Based Learning and Local Model Based Evolutionary Algorithm for High-Dimensional Expensive Multi-Objective Problems
Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms have been widely developed to
solve complex and computationally expensive multi-objective optimization
problems in recent years. However, when dealing with high-dimensional
optimization problems, the performance of these surrogate-assisted
multi-objective evolutionary algorithms deteriorate drastically. In this work,
a novel Classifier-assisted rank-based learning and Local Model based
multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (CLMEA) is proposed for high-dimensional
expensive multi-objective optimization problems. The proposed algorithm
consists of three parts: classifier-assisted rank-based learning,
hypervolume-based non-dominated search, and local search in the relatively
sparse objective space. Specifically, a probabilistic neural network is built
as classifier to divide the offspring into a number of ranks. The offspring in
different ranks uses rank-based learning strategy to generate more promising
and informative candidates for real function evaluations. Then, radial basis
function networks are built as surrogates to approximate the objective
functions. After searching non-dominated solutions assisted by the surrogate
model, the candidates with higher hypervolume improvement are selected for real
evaluations. Subsequently, in order to maintain the diversity of solutions, the
most uncertain sample point from the non-dominated solutions measured by the
crowding distance is selected as the guided parent to further infill in the
uncertain region of the front. The experimental results of benchmark problems
and a real-world application on geothermal reservoir heat extraction
optimization demonstrate that the proposed algorithm shows superior performance
compared with the state-of-the-art surrogate-assisted multi-objective
evolutionary algorithms. The source code for this work is available at

A neural network approach to audio-assisted movie dialogue detection
A novel framework for audio-assisted dialogue detection based on indicator functions and neural networks is investigated. An indicator function defines that an actor is present at a particular time instant. The cross-correlation function of a pair of indicator functions and the magnitude of the corresponding cross-power spectral density are fed as input to neural networks for dialogue detection. Several types of artificial neural networks, including multilayer perceptrons, voted perceptrons, radial basis function networks, support vector machines, and particle swarm optimization-based multilayer perceptrons are tested. Experiments are carried out to validate the feasibility of the aforementioned approach by using ground-truth indicator functions determined by human observers on 6 different movies. A total of 41 dialogue instances and another 20 non-dialogue instances is employed. The average detection accuracy achieved is high, ranging between 84.78%±5.499% and 91.43%±4.239%
Simultaneous synthesis of FLAIR and segmentation of white matter hypointensities from T1 MRIs
Segmenting vascular pathologies such as white matter lesions in Brain
magnetic resonance images (MRIs) require acquisition of multiple sequences such
as T1-weighted (T1-w) --on which lesions appear hypointense-- and fluid
attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence --where lesions appear
hyperintense--. However, most of the existing retrospective datasets do not
consist of FLAIR sequences. Existing missing modality imputation methods
separate the process of imputation, and the process of segmentation. In this
paper, we propose a method to link both modality imputation and segmentation
using convolutional neural networks. We show that by jointly optimizing the
imputation network and the segmentation network, the method not only produces
more realistic synthetic FLAIR images from T1-w images, but also improves the
segmentation of WMH from T1-w images only.Comment: Conference on Medical Imaging with Deep Learning MIDL 201

Cloud-Assisted On-Sensor Observation Classification in Latency-Impeded IoT Systems
Semantic Compression for Edge-Assisted Systems
A novel semantic approach to data selection and compression is presented for
the dynamic adaptation of IoT data processing and transmission within "wireless
islands", where a set of sensing devices (sensors) are interconnected through
one-hop wireless links to a computational resource via a local access point.
The core of the proposed technique is a cooperative framework where local
classifiers at the mobile nodes are dynamically crafted and updated based on
the current state of the observed system, the global processing objective and
the characteristics of the sensors and data streams. The edge processor plays a
key role by establishing a link between content and operations within the
distributed system. The local classifiers are designed to filter the data
streams and provide only the needed information to the global classifier at the
edge processor, thus minimizing bandwidth usage. However, the better the
accuracy of these local classifiers, the larger the energy necessary to run
them at the individual sensors. A formulation of the optimization problem for
the dynamic construction of the classifiers under bandwidth and energy
constraints is proposed and demonstrated on a synthetic example.Comment: Presented at the Information Theory and Applications Workshop (ITA),

Radial basis function classifier construction using particle swarm optimisation aided orthogonal forward regression
We develop a particle swarm optimisation (PSO)
aided orthogonal forward regression (OFR) approach for constructing radial basis function (RBF) classifiers with tunable nodes. At each stage of the OFR construction process, the centre vector and diagonal covariance matrix of one RBF node is determined efficiently by minimising the leave-one-out (LOO) misclassification rate (MR) using a PSO algorithm. Compared with the state-of-the-art regularisation assisted orthogonal least square algorithm based on the LOO MR for selecting fixednode RBF classifiers, the proposed PSO aided OFR algorithm for constructing tunable-node RBF classifiers offers significant advantages in terms of better generalisation performance and smaller model size as well as imposes lower computational complexity in classifier construction process. Moreover, the proposed algorithm does not have any hyperparameter that requires costly tuning based on cross validation
