FSL-BM: Fuzzy Supervised Learning with Binary Meta-Feature for Classification
This paper introduces a novel real-time Fuzzy Supervised Learning with Binary
Meta-Feature (FSL-BM) for big data classification task. The study of real-time
algorithms addresses several major concerns, which are namely: accuracy, memory
consumption, and ability to stretch assumptions and time complexity. Attaining
a fast computational model providing fuzzy logic and supervised learning is one
of the main challenges in the machine learning. In this research paper, we
present FSL-BM algorithm as an efficient solution of supervised learning with
fuzzy logic processing using binary meta-feature representation using Hamming
Distance and Hash function to relax assumptions. While many studies focused on
reducing time complexity and increasing accuracy during the last decade, the
novel contribution of this proposed solution comes through integration of
Hamming Distance, Hash function, binary meta-features, binary classification to
provide real time supervised method. Hash Tables (HT) component gives a fast
access to existing indices; and therefore, the generation of new indices in a
constant time complexity, which supersedes existing fuzzy supervised algorithms
with better or comparable results. To summarize, the main contribution of this
technique for real-time Fuzzy Supervised Learning is to represent hypothesis
through binary input as meta-feature space and creating the Fuzzy Supervised
Hash table to train and validate model.Comment: FICC201
Recovering Grammar Relationships for the Java Language Specification
Grammar convergence is a method that helps discovering relationships between
different grammars of the same language or different language versions. The key
element of the method is the operational, transformation-based representation
of those relationships. Given input grammars for convergence, they are
transformed until they are structurally equal. The transformations are composed
from primitive operators; properties of these operators and the composed chains
provide quantitative and qualitative insight into the relationships between the
grammars at hand. We describe a refined method for grammar convergence, and we
use it in a major study, where we recover the relationships between all the
grammars that occur in the different versions of the Java Language
Specification (JLS). The relationships are represented as grammar
transformation chains that capture all accidental or intended differences
between the JLS grammars. This method is mechanized and driven by nominal and
structural differences between pairs of grammars that are subject to
asymmetric, binary convergence steps. We present the underlying operator suite
for grammar transformation in detail, and we illustrate the suite with many
examples of transformations on the JLS grammars. We also describe the
extraction effort, which was needed to make the JLS grammars amenable to
automated processing. We include substantial metadata about the convergence
process for the JLS so that the effort becomes reproducible and transparent
Codebook and documentation of the panel study 'Labour Market and Social Security' (PASS) : vol. 1: Introduction and overview, wave 1 (2006/2007)
"The panel study 'Labour Market and Social Security' (PASS), established by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), is a new dataset for labour market, welfare state and poverty research in Germany, creating a new empirical basis for the scientific community and political consulting. This Datenreport provides an overview of the first survey wave, for which 18,954 persons were interviewed in 12,794 households between December 2006 and July 2007. The study is carried out as part of the IAB's research into the German Social Code Book II (SGB II). The IAB is charged by law with studying the effects of benefits under SGB II for integration into the labour market and subsistence benefits. However, due to the complex sample design, it also enables researchers to answer questions far beyond these issues. Five core questions influenced the development of the new study, which are detailed in Achatz et al. (2007): 1. What options exist to regain independence from Unemployment Benefit II? 2. In which ways does the social situation of a household change when it receives benefits? 3. How do persons concerned cope with their situation? Will attitudes of the respondents that are constitutive for their actions change over time? 4. In which form do contacts between benefit recipients and institutions providing basic social security actually take place? What are the institutional procedures applied in practice? 5. Which employment career patterns or household dynamics lead to receipt of Unemployment Benefit II? The following brief overview describes the motivation for carrying out the survey, its contents and the study design."

Multi-View Stereo with Single-View Semantic Mesh Refinement
While 3D reconstruction is a well-established and widely explored research
topic, semantic 3D reconstruction has only recently witnessed an increasing
share of attention from the Computer Vision community. Semantic annotations
allow in fact to enforce strong class-dependent priors, as planarity for ground
and walls, which can be exploited to refine the reconstruction often resulting
in non-trivial performance improvements. State-of-the art methods propose
volumetric approaches to fuse RGB image data with semantic labels; even if
successful, they do not scale well and fail to output high resolution meshes.
In this paper we propose a novel method to refine both the geometry and the
semantic labeling of a given mesh. We refine the mesh geometry by applying a
variational method that optimizes a composite energy made of a state-of-the-art
pairwise photo-metric term and a single-view term that models the semantic
consistency between the labels of the 3D mesh and those of the segmented
images. We also update the semantic labeling through a novel Markov Random
Field (MRF) formulation that, together with the classical data and smoothness
terms, takes into account class-specific priors estimated directly from the
annotated mesh. This is in contrast to state-of-the-art methods that are
typically based on handcrafted or learned priors. We are the first, jointly
with the very recent and seminal work of [M. Blaha et al arXiv:1706.08336,
2017], to propose the use of semantics inside a mesh refinement framework.
Differently from [M. Blaha et al arXiv:1706.08336, 2017], which adopts a more
classical pairwise comparison to estimate the flow of the mesh, we apply a
single-view comparison between the semantically annotated image and the current
3D mesh labels; this improves the robustness in case of noisy segmentations.Comment: {\pounds}D Reconstruction Meets Semantic, ICCV worksho
