Multivariate Regression with Incremental Learning of Gaussian Mixture Models
La publicació definitiva d'aquest treball està disponible a IOS Press a través de http://dx.doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-806-8-196Within the machine learning framework, incremental learning of multivariate spaces is of special interest for on-line applications. In this work, the regression problem for multivariate systems is solved by implementing an efficient probabilistic incremental algorithm. It allows learning high-dimensional redundant non-linear maps by the cumulative acquisition of data from input-output systems. The proposed model is aimed at solving prediction and inference problems. The implementation introduced in this work allows learning from data batches without the need of keeping them in memory afterwards. The learning architecture is built using Incremental Gaussian Mixture Models. The Expectation-Maximization algorithm and general geometric properties of Gaussian distributions are used to train the models. Our current implementation can produce accurate results fitting models in real multivariate systems. Results are shown from testing the algorithm for both situations, one where the incremental learning is demonstrated and the second where the performance to solve the regression problem is evaluated on a toy example.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
An empirical learning-based validation procedure for simulation workflow
Simulation workflow is a top-level model for the design and control of
simulation process. It connects multiple simulation components with time and
interaction restrictions to form a complete simulation system. Before the
construction and evaluation of the component models, the validation of
upper-layer simulation workflow is of the most importance in a simulation
system. However, the methods especially for validating simulation workflow is
very limit. Many of the existing validation techniques are domain-dependent
with cumbersome questionnaire design and expert scoring. Therefore, this paper
present an empirical learning-based validation procedure to implement a
semi-automated evaluation for simulation workflow. First, representative
features of general simulation workflow and their relations with validation
indices are proposed. The calculation process of workflow credibility based on
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is then introduced. In order to make full use
of the historical data and implement more efficient validation, four learning
algorithms, including back propagation neural network (BPNN), extreme learning
machine (ELM), evolving new-neuron (eNFN) and fast incremental gaussian mixture
model (FIGMN), are introduced for constructing the empirical relation between
the workflow credibility and its features. A case study on a landing-process
simulation workflow is established to test the feasibility of the proposed
procedure. The experimental results also provide some useful overview of the
state-of-the-art learning algorithms on the credibility evaluation of
simulation models
