Multi-Object Classification and Unsupervised Scene Understanding Using Deep Learning Features and Latent Tree Probabilistic Models
Deep learning has shown state-of-art classification performance on datasets
such as ImageNet, which contain a single object in each image. However,
multi-object classification is far more challenging. We present a unified
framework which leverages the strengths of multiple machine learning methods,
viz deep learning, probabilistic models and kernel methods to obtain
state-of-art performance on Microsoft COCO, consisting of non-iconic images. We
incorporate contextual information in natural images through a conditional
latent tree probabilistic model (CLTM), where the object co-occurrences are
conditioned on the extracted fc7 features from pre-trained Imagenet CNN as
input. We learn the CLTM tree structure using conditional pairwise
probabilities for object co-occurrences, estimated through kernel methods, and
we learn its node and edge potentials by training a new 3-layer neural network,
which takes fc7 features as input. Object classification is carried out via
inference on the learnt conditional tree model, and we obtain significant gain
in precision-recall and F-measures on MS-COCO, especially for difficult object
categories. Moreover, the latent variables in the CLTM capture scene
information: the images with top activations for a latent node have common
themes such as being a grasslands or a food scene, and on on. In addition, we
show that a simple k-means clustering of the inferred latent nodes alone
significantly improves scene classification performance on the MIT-Indoor
dataset, without the need for any retraining, and without using scene labels
during training. Thus, we present a unified framework for multi-object
classification and unsupervised scene understanding
An agent-driven semantical identifier using radial basis neural networks and reinforcement learning
Due to the huge availability of documents in digital form, and the deception
possibility raise bound to the essence of digital documents and the way they
are spread, the authorship attribution problem has constantly increased its
relevance. Nowadays, authorship attribution,for both information retrieval and
analysis, has gained great importance in the context of security, trust and
copyright preservation. This work proposes an innovative multi-agent driven
machine learning technique that has been developed for authorship attribution.
By means of a preprocessing for word-grouping and time-period related analysis
of the common lexicon, we determine a bias reference level for the recurrence
frequency of the words within analysed texts, and then train a Radial Basis
Neural Networks (RBPNN)-based classifier to identify the correct author. The
main advantage of the proposed approach lies in the generality of the semantic
analysis, which can be applied to different contexts and lexical domains,
without requiring any modification. Moreover, the proposed system is able to
incorporate an external input, meant to tune the classifier, and then
self-adjust by means of continuous learning reinforcement.Comment: Published on: Proceedings of the XV Workshop "Dagli Oggetti agli

A Review of Fault Diagnosing Methods in Power Transmission Systems
Transient stability is important in power systems. Disturbances like faults need to be segregated to restore transient stability. A comprehensive review of fault diagnosing methods in the power transmission system is presented in this paper. Typically, voltage and current samples are deployed for analysis. Three tasks/topics; fault detection, classification, and location are presented separately to convey a more logical and comprehensive understanding of the concepts. Feature extractions, transformations with dimensionality reduction methods are discussed. Fault classification and location techniques largely use artificial intelligence (AI) and signal processing methods. After the discussion of overall methods and concepts, advancements and future aspects are discussed. Generalized strengths and weaknesses of different AI and machine learning-based algorithms are assessed. A comparison of different fault detection, classification, and location methods is also presented considering features, inputs, complexity, system used and results. This paper may serve as a guideline for the researchers to understand different methods and techniques in this field
