Adaptive Online Sequential ELM for Concept Drift Tackling
A machine learning method needs to adapt to over time changes in the
environment. Such changes are known as concept drift. In this paper, we propose
concept drift tackling method as an enhancement of Online Sequential Extreme
Learning Machine (OS-ELM) and Constructive Enhancement OS-ELM (CEOS-ELM) by
adding adaptive capability for classification and regression problem. The
scheme is named as adaptive OS-ELM (AOS-ELM). It is a single classifier scheme
that works well to handle real drift, virtual drift, and hybrid drift. The
AOS-ELM also works well for sudden drift and recurrent context change type. The
scheme is a simple unified method implemented in simple lines of code. We
evaluated AOS-ELM on regression and classification problem by using concept
drift public data set (SEA and STAGGER) and other public data sets such as
MNIST, USPS, and IDS. Experiments show that our method gives higher kappa value
compared to the multiclassifier ELM ensemble. Even though AOS-ELM in practice
does not need hidden nodes increase, we address some issues related to the
increasing of the hidden nodes such as error condition and rank values. We
propose taking the rank of the pseudoinverse matrix as an indicator parameter
to detect underfitting condition.Comment: Hindawi Publishing. Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience

From Sparse Signals to Sparse Residuals for Robust Sensing
One of the key challenges in sensor networks is the extraction of information
by fusing data from a multitude of distinct, but possibly unreliable sensors.
Recovering information from the maximum number of dependable sensors while
specifying the unreliable ones is critical for robust sensing. This sensing
task is formulated here as that of finding the maximum number of feasible
subsystems of linear equations, and proved to be NP-hard. Useful links are
established with compressive sampling, which aims at recovering vectors that
are sparse. In contrast, the signals here are not sparse, but give rise to
sparse residuals. Capitalizing on this form of sparsity, four sensing schemes
with complementary strengths are developed. The first scheme is a convex
relaxation of the original problem expressed as a second-order cone program
(SOCP). It is shown that when the involved sensing matrices are Gaussian and
the reliable measurements are sufficiently many, the SOCP can recover the
optimal solution with overwhelming probability. The second scheme is obtained
by replacing the initial objective function with a concave one. The third and
fourth schemes are tailored for noisy sensor data. The noisy case is cast as a
combinatorial problem that is subsequently surrogated by a (weighted) SOCP.
Interestingly, the derived cost functions fall into the framework of robust
multivariate linear regression, while an efficient block-coordinate descent
algorithm is developed for their minimization. The robust sensing capabilities
of all schemes are verified by simulated tests.Comment: Under review for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Signal

Evaluation of linear classifiers on articles containing pharmacokinetic evidence of drug-drug interactions
Background. Drug-drug interaction (DDI) is a major cause of morbidity and
mortality. [...] Biomedical literature mining can aid DDI research by
extracting relevant DDI signals from either the published literature or large
clinical databases. However, though drug interaction is an ideal area for
translational research, the inclusion of literature mining methodologies in DDI
workflows is still very preliminary. One area that can benefit from literature
mining is the automatic identification of a large number of potential DDIs,
whose pharmacological mechanisms and clinical significance can then be studied
via in vitro pharmacology and in populo pharmaco-epidemiology. Experiments. We
implemented a set of classifiers for identifying published articles relevant to
experimental pharmacokinetic DDI evidence. These documents are important for
identifying causal mechanisms behind putative drug-drug interactions, an
important step in the extraction of large numbers of potential DDIs. We
evaluate performance of several linear classifiers on PubMed abstracts, under
different feature transformation and dimensionality reduction methods. In
addition, we investigate the performance benefits of including various
publicly-available named entity recognition features, as well as a set of
internally-developed pharmacokinetic dictionaries. Results. We found that
several classifiers performed well in distinguishing relevant and irrelevant
abstracts. We found that the combination of unigram and bigram textual features
gave better performance than unigram features alone, and also that
normalization transforms that adjusted for feature frequency and document
length improved classification. For some classifiers, such as linear
discriminant analysis (LDA), proper dimensionality reduction had a large impact
on performance. Finally, the inclusion of NER features and dictionaries was
found not to help classification.Comment: Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing, 201
Tensor Networks for Dimensionality Reduction and Large-Scale Optimizations. Part 2 Applications and Future Perspectives
Part 2 of this monograph builds on the introduction to tensor networks and
their operations presented in Part 1. It focuses on tensor network models for
super-compressed higher-order representation of data/parameters and related
cost functions, while providing an outline of their applications in machine
learning and data analytics. A particular emphasis is on the tensor train (TT)
and Hierarchical Tucker (HT) decompositions, and their physically meaningful
interpretations which reflect the scalability of the tensor network approach.
Through a graphical approach, we also elucidate how, by virtue of the
underlying low-rank tensor approximations and sophisticated contractions of
core tensors, tensor networks have the ability to perform distributed
computations on otherwise prohibitively large volumes of data/parameters,
thereby alleviating or even eliminating the curse of dimensionality. The
usefulness of this concept is illustrated over a number of applied areas,
including generalized regression and classification (support tensor machines,
canonical correlation analysis, higher order partial least squares),
generalized eigenvalue decomposition, Riemannian optimization, and in the
optimization of deep neural networks. Part 1 and Part 2 of this work can be
used either as stand-alone separate texts, or indeed as a conjoint
comprehensive review of the exciting field of low-rank tensor networks and
tensor decompositions.Comment: 232 page
