An efficient and straightforward online quantization method for a data stream through remove-birth updating
The growth of network-connected devices is creating an explosion of data,
known as big data, and posing significant challenges to efficient data
analysis. This data is generated continuously, creating a dynamic flow known as
a data stream. The characteristics of a data stream may change dynamically, and
this change is known as concept drift. Consequently, a method for handling data
streams must efficiently reduce their volume while dynamically adapting to
these changing characteristics. This paper proposes a simple online vector
quantization method for concept drift. The proposed method identifies and
replaces units with low win probability through remove-birth updating, thus
achieving a rapid adaptation to concept drift. Furthermore, the results of this
study show that the proposed method can generate minimal dead units even in the
presence of concept drift. This study also suggests that some metrics
calculated from the proposed method will be helpful for drift detection
Real time motion estimation using a neural architecture implemented on GPUs
This work describes a neural network based architecture that represents and estimates object motion in videos. This architecture addresses multiple computer vision tasks such as image segmentation, object representation or characterization, motion analysis and tracking. The use of a neural network architecture allows for the simultaneous estimation of global and local motion and the representation of deformable objects. This architecture also avoids the problem of finding corresponding features while tracking moving objects. Due to the parallel nature of neural networks, the architecture has been implemented on GPUs that allows the system to meet a set of requirements such as: time constraints management, robustness, high processing speed and re-configurability. Experiments are presented that demonstrate the validity of our architecture to solve problems of mobile agents tracking and motion analysis.This work was partially funded by the Spanish Government DPI2013-40534-R grant and Valencian Government GV/2013/005 grant
Kernelizing Vector Quantization Algorithms
International audienceThe kernel trick is a well known approach allowing to implicitly cast a linear method into a nonlinear one by replacing any dot product by a kernel function. However few vector quantization algorithms have been kernelized. Indeed, they usually imply to compute linear transformations (e.g. moving prototypes), what is not easily kernelizable. This paper introduces the Kernel-based Vector Quantization (KVQ) method which allows working in an approximation of the feature space, and thus kernelizing any Vector Quantization (VQ) algorithm
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

Development of artificial neural network-based object detection algorithms for low-cost hardware devices
Finally, the fourth work was published in the “WCCI” conference in 2020 and consisted of an individuals' position estimation algorithm based on a novel neural network model for environments with forbidden regions, named “Forbidden Regions Growing Neural Gas”.The human brain is the most complex, powerful and versatile learning machine ever known. Consequently, many scientists of various disciplines are fascinated by its structures and information processing methods. Due to the quality and quantity of the information extracted from the sense of sight, image is one of the main information channels used by humans. However, the massive amount of video footage generated nowadays makes it difficult to process those data fast enough manually. Thus, computer vision systems represent a fundamental tool in the extraction of information from digital images, as well as a major challenge for scientists and engineers.
This thesis' primary objective is automatic foreground object detection and classification through digital image analysis, using artificial neural network-based techniques, specifically designed and optimised to be deployed in low-cost hardware devices. This objective will be complemented by developing individuals' movement estimation methods by using unsupervised learning and artificial neural network-based models.
The cited objectives have been addressed through a research work illustrated in four publications supporting this thesis. The first one was published in the “ICAE” journal in 2018 and consists of a neural network-based movement detection system for Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras deployed in a Raspberry Pi board. The second one was published in the “WCCI” conference in 2018 and consists of a deep learning-based automatic video surveillance system for PTZ cameras deployed in low-cost hardware. The third one was published in the “ICAE” journal in 2020 and consists of an anomalous foreground object detection and classification system for panoramic cameras, based on deep learning and supported by low-cost hardware
