Image tag completion by local learning
The problem of tag completion is to learn the missing tags of an image. In
this paper, we propose to learn a tag scoring vector for each image by local
linear learning. A local linear function is used in the neighborhood of each
image to predict the tag scoring vectors of its neighboring images. We
construct a unified objective function for the learning of both tag scoring
vectors and local linear function parame- ters. In the objective, we impose the
learned tag scoring vectors to be consistent with the known associations to the
tags of each image, and also minimize the prediction error of each local linear
function, while reducing the complexity of each local function. The objective
function is optimized by an alternate optimization strategy and gradient
descent methods in an iterative algorithm. We compare the proposed algorithm
against different state-of-the-art tag completion methods, and the results show
its advantages
A spiking neural network for real-time Spanish vowel phonemes recognition
This paper explores neuromorphic approach capabilities applied to real-time speech processing. A spiking
recognition neural network composed of three types of neurons is proposed. These neurons are based on an
integrative and fire model and are capable of recognizing auditory frequency patterns, such as vowel phonemes;
words are recognized as sequences of vowel phonemes. For demonstrating real-time operation, a complete
spiking recognition neural network has been described in VHDL for detecting certain Spanish words, and it has
been tested in a FPGA platform. This is a stand-alone and fully hardware system that allows to embed it in a
mobile system. To stimulate the network, a spiking digital-filter-based cochlea has been implemented in VHDL.
In the implementation, an Address Event Representation (AER) is used for transmitting information between
neurons.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TEC2012-37868-C04-02/0
