The Classification of Children Gadget Addiction: The Employment of Learning Vector Quantization 3

The addiction of children to gadgets has a massive influence on their social growth. Thus, it is essential to note earlier on the addiction of children to such technologies. This study employed the learning vector quantization series 3 to classify the severity of gadget addiction due to the nature of this algorithm as one of the supervised artificial neural network methods. By analyzing the literature and interviewing child psychologists, this study highlighted 34 signs of schizophrenia with 2 level classifications. In order to obtain a sample of training and test data, 135 questionnaires were administered to parents as the target respondents. The learning rate parameter (α) used for classification is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 with window (Ɛ) is 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and the epsilon values (m) are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3. The confusion matrix revealed that the highest performance of this classification was found in the value of 0.2 learning rate, 0.01 learning rate reduction, window 0.3, and 80:20 of ratio data simulation. This outcome demonstrated the beneficial consequences of Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) series 3 in the detection of children's gadget addiction

Early Prediction of Diabetes Using Deep Learning Convolution Neural Network and Harris Hawks Optimization

 Owing to the gravity of the diabetic disease the minimal level symptoms for diabetic failure in the early stage must be forecasted. The prediction system instantaneous and prior must thus be developed to eliminate serious medical factors. Information gathered from Pima Indian Diabetic dataset are synthesized through a profound learning approach that provides features for diabetic level information. Metadata is used to enhance the recognition process for the profound learned features. The distinct details retrieved by integrated machine and computer technology, including glucose level, health information, age, insulin level, etc. Due to the efficacious Hawks Optimization Algorithm (HOA), the data's insignificant participation in diabetic diagnostic processes is minimized in process analysis luminosity. Diabetic disease has been categorized with Deep Learning Convolution Networks (DLCNN) from among the chosen diabetic characteristics. The process output developed is measured on the basis of test results in terms of error rate, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy

In this paper we present the various approaches used in face recognition from 2001-2012.because in last decade face recognition is using in many fields like Security sectors, identity authentication. Today we need correct and speedy performance in face recognition. This time the face recognition technology is in matured stage because research is conducting continuously in this field. Some extensions of Support vector machine (SVM) is reviewed that gives amazing performance in face recognition.Here we also review some papers of combined classifier approaches that is also a dynamic research area in a pattern recognition

An unsupervised learning algorithm for membrane computing

This paper focuses on the unsupervised learning problem within membrane computing, and proposes an innovative solution inspired by membrane computing techniques, the fuzzy membrane clustering algorithm. An evolution–communication P system with nested membrane structure is the core component of the algorithm. The feasible cluster centers are represented by means of objects, and three types of membranes are considered: evolution, local store, and global store. Based on the designed membrane structure and the inherent communication mechanism, a modified differential evolution mechanism is developed to evolve the objects in the system. Under the control of the evolution–communication mechanism of the P system, the proposed fuzzy clustering algorithm achieves good fuzzy partitioning for a data set. The proposed fuzzy clustering algorithm is compared to three recently-developed and two classical clustering algorithms for five artificial and five real-life data sets.National Natural Science Foundation of China No 61170030National Natural Science Foundation of China No 61472328Chunhui Project Foundation of the Education Department of China No. Z2012025Chunhui Project Foundation of the Education Department of China No. Z2012031Sichuan Key Technology Research and Development Program No. 2013GZX015

Vision-based neural network classifiers and their applications

A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University of LutonVisual inspection of defects is an important part of quality assurance in many fields of production. It plays a very useful role in industrial applications in order to relieve human inspectors and improve the inspection accuracy and hence increasing productivity. Research has previously been done in defect classification of wood veneers using techniques such as neural networks, and a certain degree of success has been achieved. However, to improve results in tenus of both classification accuracy and running time are necessary if the techniques are to be widely adopted in industry, which has motivated this research. This research presents a method using rough sets based neural network with fuzzy input (RNNFI). Variable precision rough set (VPRS) method is proposed to remove redundant features utilising the characteristics of VPRS for data analysis and processing. The reduced data is fuzzified to represent the feature data in a more suitable foml for input to an improved BP neural network classifier. The improved BP neural network classifier is improved in three aspects: additional momentum, self-adaptive learning rates and dynamic error segmenting. Finally, to further consummate the classifier, a uniform design CUD) approach is introduced to optimise the key parameters because UD can generate a minimal set of uniform and representative design points scattered within the experiment domain. Optimal factor settings are achieved using a response surface (RSM) model and the nonlinear quadratic programming algorithm (NLPQL). Experiments have shown that the hybrid method is capable of classifying the defects of wood veneers with a fast convergence speed and high classification accuracy, comparing with other methods such as a neural network with fuzzy input and a rough sets based neural network. The research has demonstrated a methodology for visual inspection of defects, especially for situations where there is a large amount of data and a fast running speed is required. It is expected that this method can be applied to automatic visual inspection for production lines of other products such as ceramic tiles and strip steel

Contrastive Video Question Answering via Video Graph Transformer

We propose to perform video question answering (VideoQA) in a Contrastive manner via a Video Graph Transformer model (CoVGT). CoVGT's uniqueness and superiority are three-fold: 1) It proposes a dynamic graph transformer module which encodes video by explicitly capturing the visual objects, their relations and dynamics, for complex spatio-temporal reasoning. 2) It designs separate video and text transformers for contrastive learning between the video and text to perform QA, instead of multi-modal transformer for answer classification. Fine-grained video-text communication is done by additional cross-modal interaction modules. 3) It is optimized by the joint fully- and self-supervised contrastive objectives between the correct and incorrect answers, as well as the relevant and irrelevant questions respectively. With superior video encoding and QA solution, we show that CoVGT can achieve much better performances than previous arts on video reasoning tasks. Its performances even surpass those models that are pretrained with millions of external data. We further show that CoVGT can also benefit from cross-modal pretraining, yet with orders of magnitude smaller data. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of CoVGT, and additionally reveal its potential for more data-efficient pretraining. We hope our success can advance VideoQA beyond coarse recognition/description towards fine-grained relation reasoning of video contents.
